though i’m perhaps not so opposed to public huggers as to wish them dead, i am amused to note that my very first thought on the subject was that it would be the perfect cover for a skilled (or even not-so-skilled) pickpocket. my level of trust does not extend to someone on a streetcorner holding a sign.
yeah. there’s plenty of room for skepticism for public huggers.
