"Other parts of the nation have seen recent spates of violence aimed at homeless people - what some homeless advocates see as part of national trend."
This was our top mid 80s story in trendsetting Santa Cruz, CA, where the position was state funded.

An ex-boyfriend's father has got to hold some kind of record as most abused homeless guy in Queens, NY. He was set on fire - twice, deliberately hit by a car, and then lost both legs below the knee when a bus rolled over him as he slept in trash. Instead of doing the sensible thing and just dying, he sobered up & now works as a plumber.
