So today was one of the most bizarre days of my life, I'll start off by saying I'm almost on a first name basis with my local police force, actually I think the whole squad knows me by now 
from some marketing videos that I've done for my social media pages, some higher government officials know of me and some organizations are talking of me aswell. All great and dandy, multiple people (I don't even know) have thanked me for my work blah blah blah.
Although today really broke my heart, as I was doing one of my marketing campaigns I was surrounded by 4 random strangers never seen before in my life thinking they are going to just say hi or ask me about my gig.
It quickly went downhill and some accusations were tossed around of my organization and some derogatory statements were hurled my way, while spare change has faced tons of problems in the past, this one was super super bad, and actually some false rumors are apparently being spread around my business and of course bad news can spread quite quickly on Facebook and whatnot. (look at things being said about Trump, Trudeau or whoever really, heck even MJ has some haters about his book) Oddly enough I have had no negative interactions (in the social media world my pages and such) but have some potential safety issues in regards to my life....possibly.
So I dno, part of me is thinking to stop my marketing campaigns because of association of such false statements although it gets me a hell of a lot of views, on the other hand I've literally came home to read comments on social media where yes some tears have been shed for thanks and tributes towards me. It's a bit conflicting, death threats on one end, praise on the other, yeh...
I'll head to the cop shop tomorrow and try to figure something out.......
Has anyone dealt with this before? I get having people that dislike your thing is a normal, although facing death threats and slander towards my buisness is a totally different game I have never played before in my life. Atleast it makes for a great story one day, but jesus christ if I get stabbed in the middle of the street one day that's kind of a problem.
