Because they might try to rob you then run away

MY VERSIONFear is a dangerous thing, and for the most part people fear the homeless. I am going to list a few reasons and why they may or may not be valid:
  • Homeless are violent thief's. Most are unfortunate people that wouldn't hurt a fly, Unfortunately there are just enough that are mentally disturbed, or drug abusers that can't control themselves to make this a concern.
  • Dirty and smell bad. Yes many are
  • Diseased. Possibly but no different than the people you meet every day
  • Pan handlers. Yes many do do this to try to make enough to live.

The one big trouble I see with all of this is that we as a people have cut funding for mental care and welfare for these people who can't take care of themselves. Then we conduct campaigns to insure they can not Panhandle or do other things so they can live at all.

We as a people suck at dealing with this.

Most of the time, they believe that a homeless person may cause harm to them or may have a mental disorder which can make them violent.

Why did some homeless people chose to be homeless?

Not always, most homeless are homeless due to losing a job, not having money to continue on their rent and such. Some of these, though they did not choose to become homeless at first, become accustomed to the freedom of such a lifestyle and say they choose to stay homeless. There are a few though that did consciously choose to become homeless and love it. The range of homelessness goes from the stereotype homeless person with very little in the way of possessions up to people that live in RV's.
