Does being screamed at by a homeless person that they're going to murder you count as being threatened? Actual question... I didn't really think they were seriously going to try to murder me (particularly since these were usually either when I was walking my large dog or in the very crowded FiDi).
I live in San Diego now.
- raphaelrk 4y agoHad a homeless guy sit behind me on the bart repeatedly saying he'd slice my neck if I turned around or moved at all. It was a mostly-empty car, and it seemed like he was serious and that nobody else was going to do anything. Wound up sitting still and bolting out at the next stop. Tried calling the cops after and they didn't care in the slightest. Just one of many incidents. I live in Cambridge, MA now, and it's a million times better. Only thing remotely close that I've seen was one time biking past the Woods-Mullen Shelter in Boston (saw two other comments here call it "Mass and Cass"), except it's just one block and extremely tame compared to what you find all over the Mission, SOMA, and Tenderloin.
- dahfizz 4y agoThis was a regular occurrence for you?
- awillen 4y agoProbably 3-4 times a year being screamed at. Not all threats of violence, sometimes just strings of profanity. One woman called my dog a fa**. Though she did also say she'd kill me. Also called the cops twice on people shooting up in front of the middle school near my house in the morning while I was walking my dog. That wasn't even in the TL - that was Nob Hill.
