Right or wrong, following this PSA is a good way to have an unpleasant evening, especially if you insist you can charge your phone because it’s “Public Domain” whatever the fuck OP thinks that is.

This sounds like a psa written by a bear saying to leave your honey in a bear cave for protection.

You can also charge them in the car you drove to the police station. Or the library, grocery store, Dunkin, or Starbucks you passed on the way.

Imagine worrying only about your phone on a power outage. Not frozen pipes, food going bad, no heat, etc.

Yeah that's gonna be a No for me. You can get a battery pack on Amazon for about $20 that will charge your phone multiple times instead of having to deal with those shit bags

A couple years ago now, my neighborhood in Providence lost power for two full days but my dentist still had it and they let me charge my phone there 👍

A police station as a place the public are allowed to hang out? Sure, right up until they say leave.

Unless invited in. such as a warming station or shelter, the public is not allowed in government owned spaces. This was decided a long time before I was born.

So you’re from the future? Because this also ain’t it.

Really? Why don't you go hang out in your town hall today. Its a public space, must be open to the public. Perhaps tonight you can go camping in Roger Williams Park. Just disregard those stupid signs that claim you can't. How about this a reservoir is obviously public land. Go fishing.

Yes.

I’m certainly able to go and park in the parking lot. That’s a government owned space - per you, not allowed.

>Perhaps tonight you can go camping in Roger Williams Park. Just disregard those stupid signs that claim you can't.

But you can visit the park can’t you? Wait - that’s a government owned space - per you, not allowed.

>How about this a reservoir is obviously public land. Go fishing.

How about this - a street is obviously public land. Go for a drive? Wait - that’s a government owned space - per you, not allowed.

Or maybe, just maybe, there’s far more nuance to the whole topic than:

Unless invited in the public is not allowed in government owned spaces.

I have to know... Rhode islanders as a whole have to be the dumbest group of people I interact with. Is it the water? Is it deliberate? For gods sake stop having children.
