Have you ever seen some of these agressive a-holes work a woman or an old lady? I've felt murderous watching some of these (edited in advance) ask for money. There is a line, and it gets crossed quite often.
Well yes I have seen some act aggressive towards other people and my self included. Trust me Austin Tx has quite a large homeless population especially in the winter. Those ones are a problem if they cross the line the cops should be called on them and assault charges pressed. But, on the flip side I see jackass 20somethings messing around with innocent homeless people more often than the other way around. I would say the homeless population has a ratio of a-holes that's about the same as nonhomeless people. Judging by this thread the ratio might even be lower.
