I don't fear for my families safety just walking outside our front door because of rich people, I fear a homeless, drugged up person assaulting them.

- runarberg 6y agoSeriously? Do you have reason to be afraid of the homeless or are you simply experiencing prejudice? If the former is the case I recommend you move somewhere where there are fewer homeless. But this dichotomy of homeless vs. the rich is really silly. You have less to fear around the rich because they are rich, the homeless might be in a desperate situation and behave accordingly, or as put in the Movie Parasite: > Ki-taek: They are rich but still nice. > Chung-sook: They are nice because they are rich. The danger the rich pose is not something they do to you as you are walking home. It is something they do to the planet (like spilling oil or emitting massive amount of carbon), what they do through the legal system (like evict you), or even just fire you, paying you unfairly, stealing from or influencing your government, etc.
- loco5niner 6y agoMy last interaction with a homeless person, in the park next to my house: he yelled at me, and talked about grabbing his hatchet... while I was walking with my pregnant wife. So yes, I a have a reason to fear for my families safety around the homeless. I live and work in the Portland, OR area. Homelessness is a real problem here, and they are moving out of the city into the suburbs.
