Does your favorite club have any mean girls who like to make fun of people who have fallen off the edge of "normality" and become sad? Here's a thread for making fun of 'em!![]()

No. No. NO! I don't really think we should make fun of anyone, but I wonder if these women actually realize they are making fun of people who obviously have some real problems.
Erection man, Faux Mafioso, a guy who had his larynx removed and now breaths through a hole in his neck, some guy imitating a bouncer by coming into the club wearing their 'uniform', an old dude who gives out dollar coins and Hersey kisses, another old man whose obviously broke and tells dancers he is waiting on his social security check and on and on and on...
Don't tell me about dealing with people on the fringes of society. I was a cop in a large city for 25 years. Very few jobs deal with more people who could be considered fringe than cops in cities. You deal with them every day. I couldn't have been an officer for five minutes, let alone 25 years, if I didn't learn how to deal with it and it wasn't by making fun of people in sad or poor conditions or with borderline mental issues.
You picked a job that attracts these types of folks. Deal with it. Cope. These guys are the ones coming to clubs because they just don't get much attention from people anywhere else. Move around or pass them. No one is saying you have to pay attention to them. You don't have to kick them when their are already down though, even behind their back.
And before anyone says it, no that isn't how cops deal with having these folks in our lives... not the good ones anyway. The young, immature, ones maybe but never the older guys. With us it was more, "There but for the grace of what ever higher power." We knew these guys always turned out to be some one's brother, father, son, what have you. We'd make the notification to families when they were found dead someplace [usually alone in an SRO dwelling or something of that ilk], or take them home when they were found walking about in the street - not quite knowing what planet they were on. Which is how a lot of these people wind up.
I am NOT saying these dancers can't do what ever they want. I'm stating an OPINION.
That opinion is that it's just plain immature and incredibly mean spirited and I won't pretend to understand meanness and cruelty. I hope none of them ever have a father, brother, son, nephew, etc, who becomes one of these people and has folks snickering at them behind their back.
[and yes, I know someone -maybe several someones- will tell me to blow it out my ass but you'll forgive me if I think that just proves they can't see it for what it is and proves my point]
