Hey everyone, I have a few questions about a shelter I stayed at. There were a lot of issues with some of the staff and a couple of other residents, especially one who kept harassing me. They ended up kicking me out after a fight, even though I was just defending myself. Has anyone else had something similar happen?
That sounds rough. They kicked you out for defending yourself? Did they even ask for your side?

Yeah, I tried explaining, but they just sided with the other person and let her stay. I was so frustrated.

They should’ve looked at both sides, especially in situations like that. Did you think about filing a report?
Ugh, I’ve been in shelters where staff didn’t care about residents’ problems either. Sometimes feels like they just want to keep things quiet.

Exactly! They acted like it was easier to kick me out instead of dealing with the actual issues.

So typical. Some places just don’t want to deal with anything that takes too much effort.
Wait, you said you tried to get camera footage? That’s smart. Did you manage to get it?

I asked, but they said I’d need a subpoena for it. Not sure if it’s worth it though.

Subpoena? Is that like a court order or something?

Yeah, you need a court order to make them release the footage. But it’s a hassle to get one without a lawsuit.
Honestly, this sounds like they just didn’t want to deal with the trouble. Shelters can be like that… just sweeping things under the rug.

Yeah, that’s exactly how it felt. They were just trying to keep things quiet, I guess.
Did the shelter have rules about smoking or anything? You mentioned you got written up for that too.

Oh yeah, they had a rule about no smoking on property, but they let other people break it without issues.

Wow, so unfair. Seems like they pick and choose when to enforce their rules.
