    Homeless folks are generally no more violent than homed folks. Drug addiction and mental illness or not.

      About a year ago a homeless woman had a miscarriage in my city and a couple local media outlets jumped on it, reporting that ‘police had found a dead fetus in an encampment’. Ya know, after she called 911 because she had a miscarriage. Really helped solidify my belief that a lot of people would rather just stigmatize them than do anything else
