It's a good time of year to raise awareness, when it's real cold out. More Americans are thinking about poverty and homelessness this time of year.

People think that homeless people are not human beings and that it's OK to hurt them and, most importantly, they think they can get away with it.

They do this because they think they can, that they can get away with beating a homeless person and nobody will care, and the homeless won't be able to fight back.

In many of the cases, it's a crime of opportunity. A group of teenagers is roaming the street on a hot summer night and they come across a homeless person who might be mentally ill or alcoholic. When they hurt a homeless person, they think they can get away with it -- and they think they won't be hurt in return.
