If you are threatened by someone sleeping on the streets you should seek help.

I would think anyone who observes society carefully could see that homelessness does not yield good things from people in that circumstance.

Yes, from the police. When someone sleeping on the streets shouts threats at you, they might be willing to go through with them.

Same for people not sleeping on the streets, so maybe the threatening should be the thing that's illegal.
