My natural instincts usually do not extend to that extent: pictures, videos, social media "shaming", but times have certainly changed as we all have experienced, and my opinion has also changed. It's very sad to accept, but that is the only thing that will cause "some people" to re-think their behavior, and, more and more even that seldom works. Pictures of people "taking over" pools, pictures people have taken of others from blocks away bringing their dogs to the property of another to "deposit", pictures of people biking 4 and more abreast on MMP's , do not necessarily change the behavior of some people. They simply have do shame. I think there is something much deeper going on, a total cultural change that has roots in acceptable civil/social behavior. My own observation was this began long before the "pandemic", but certainly accelerated at a mind boggling rate during that period. Definite cultural shift. Having said that, I do believe it is "worth" a change to post such behaviors !
