Absolutely..the guy next door is more likely to rape than a homeless person..If a homeless guy comes toward you it is most likely to beg for money or food..anyone else, beware...

note that homeless are actually more frequently victimized than other groups.


and then there's this:


Myth: Homeless people are dangerous

Fact: In general, the homeless are among the least threatening group in our society and are more likely to be victims of crime themselves. (Natl. Coalition for the Homeless, 2008) Although they are more likely to commit non-violent crimes and non-destructive crimes, they are less likely to commit crimes against person or property. (American Society of Criminology, 2007) In recent years, many cities have made being homeless a crime, by passing measures that target homeless people by making it illegal to perform life-sustaining activities like sleeping, camping, eating, or begging in public. (NCH, 2008)

That is interesting. I wouldn't have guessed that. They commit more crimes but less violent crimes.

They also commit more crimes against each other than the general public.

The Occupy People with all 4K and numerous rapes are the dangerous ones.

And Lara (Glad She'll be Alright) Logan would say protesting Egyptian males are dangerous.

I would like to see some evidence that homeless people are less likely to rape than the general population. I find that very hard to believe.

Anyway, that's not the point. I mentioned a homeless person as just an example.

And yes, that was a great story about the homeless guy with the golden voice. I followed that story at the time. People have stereotypes about homeless people but in fact they can come from any walk of life.
