One thing people often say at this point is, "Well, you know, lots of homeless people (a) want to be homeless (b) are scammers and drive BMWs (c) are on drugs (d) are mentally ill."
You'd think they'd go on to announce some kind of interest in doing something about a through d. But they don't. Unless it's to put them all in jail.

The way we arrange blame is our society is interesting. If a number of men were convicted of crimes and went to a prison block, from which one of them emerged dead, we would blame the killers. We wouldn't care a whole lot about the dead person, but we would blame the people who killed them. Criminals are killers after all.
But 20-30 people walk onto a train car, and one comes out in a body bag ... and it's his fault? People couldn't resist killing him? People on their way to or from work?
I'd be afraid to ride that car. Because of the killer. He would be unlikely to kill me. But apparently it would take little for him to kill someone else.
