It's the age of labels. The most innocent of actions can have people screaming "pedophile!" If you enjoy watching children play...and don't try talking with those kids, it makes it worse.
If you enjoy a beautiful and provocatively dressed woman, don't stare too long...besides her screaming insults, you might be arrested or held for questioning.
In the wrong neighborhood and dressed the wrong way may get you assaulted.
It's no wonder people don't engage like they use to, things could go off the deep end in a hurry. Very sad.
