I understand all of the bleeding-heart arguments about why they are here.

But my children and I have a right to feel safe and not have our personal space invaded while supporting a local business. Why is our sense of safety less important? Until this problem is resolved, I will either shop without my children, have my husband with me or spend my money outside of the Durango area, where we can walk to our vehicle without being harassed.
