Nah not at all. It's the type of thing where every mother and father will tell their kids stuff like this is dangerous, and sure it is, but so is walking down the street. The rumors that the homeless are gonna stab some random kid for exploring and just that- rumors made up by people who have never had to sleep a night outside in their entire lives. The USA boogeymen you hear of are usually completely harmless and just people going through a tough time created by our fucked up economic system. The real boogeymen here, that would endanger a stranger, are usually successful people that breeze their way through life. I've found more safety and love in homeless encampments than in any job or school I've ever been to.
