the ones that are clearly having some kind of psychotic episode, yes. The able bodied people, who a lot of time look pretty clean and healthy, no.

This. I have a hell of a lot of sympathy for tattered homeless people who clearly have issues than I do for a random dude dressed normally stalking me in the parking lot at night.

The people who have the nerve to approach a woman (or worse - a woman and her baby/child) who is alone make my blood boil. I had a man scare the shite out of me approaching me one night in the Neighborhood Walmart lot and following me with his sob story all the way up to the doors of the store.
