    Very true. I always have the dichotomy of feeling bad for them but also not wanting to be near them for fear of mugging or being stabbed by someone with a mental disorder.

      And yet, the only time I’ve been stabbed by a stranger, was a white guy who was wearing a button-down and slacks. It wasn’t drugs or mental illness, just good old transphobia that put me in the hospital back in ‘13. He wasn’t charged cause he wasn’t found, and I couldn’t remember his face.

      But yeah, the homeless and mentally ill just mostly want help and to be left alone. The bigots and racists are looking for trouble.
