re: no thread on the jogger who threw a homeless guy's stuff in a lake????

Apparently very few of the people here have ever been in a desperate situation.

It's just reaching critical mass in a lot of areas and people are running low on patience. It's rare that I can go downtown anymore and not have some sort of negative interaction, whether it be super aggressive panhandling or having nonsense yelled at me by a crazy guy on the corner. We've had two rapes and a tourist assaulted in the last two weeks, all perpetrated by homeless guys.

I feel for the ones that have truly just fallen on hard times or mentally ill, but a lot of the time, the homeless are their own worst enemy.
