voltumna tells us more.
As the OP, a few extra points: I'm female, he was about a foot taller than me, I'd come home from an 8 hour shift, and I called the cops once I'd moved down the street to a safe distance. If there had been people around, I'd have stood up to him, but I didn't want to add mugging to an already shitty day. But, at #29, I'll totally try that next time!

#8 have you ever fought someone who has next to nothing to lose?
u deserve a thumbs up
Aint you lucky that you got 24hr security free of charge! L0l!
#13- I was hoping someone would call me out on it because yes I have stood up to many homeless people. It never came to blows but I'm pretty intimidating and just yelling at them is usually enough to get them to back down. I live in Austin and homeless people are here all the time so you have to be ready.
It's YOUR doorstep You should have given your foot a new home in his ass.
#18 - I lived in Berkeley - very similar to Austin and I would be scared to yell at a homeless person. You just don't know. Some are fine, but some are on drugs or mentally unstable or a combination of the two, and it's really not worth the fight, maybe you are physically bigger and can be intimidating but not all of us are...
Shiittt! Where did you go after that? O:

You should have triple roundhouse kicked him. It works on most homeless guys, basically what you do is take 5 steps back so you're about 2 metres away from them. Then you press right, right, up, circle, triangle, L1, circle, L2. Good luck!
YDI if you actually listened to him
