What would you do if I over heard some strangers said we have some certain characters here today and said my name and even spelled it and wanted me get removed from the library even though I never did anything to them first at all? It's now *:* pm and I am at Sachem public library. Someone said we have some two certain characters here today and said my name and even spelled it out loud and they said they wanted me get removed from the library even though I never did anything to them or anybody else. Later on when I told the librarians they verified that we didn't do anything wrong and that there was no complaints made against me. On */*/*, at approximately *:* PM, Patrick Karikas overheared average individuals who were also using the computers at the Sachem Public Library discussing his name and suggesting his removal from the premises. Mr. Karikas expressed concern as he had no prior interaction with these individuals.
Hey Patrick! It's good that the librarians verified there were no complaints against you. If you're feeling uncomfortable or threatened, you might consider:
- Documenting the incident with details and any witnesses.
- Speaking to library management about your concerns.
- Considering speaking with law enforcement if you feel unsafe.
Do you feel you need further assistance or advice on this matter?
Being targeted by strangers who say your name, spell it out, and demand your removal from a public place without any provocation from you is a clear act of verbal harassment and intimidation. The fact that the librarians confirmed you did nothing wrong and had no complaints against you further proves that their actions were unprovoked and aimed solely at disturbing you. This type of behavior is unacceptable, and you were right to feel concerned and to report it
