I don't mean kicking REALLY hard to actually hurt them, but just a little for a laugh or two

no, but a half crazed looking, drunkard one legged bum who looked and smelled to have been laying in his own feces for some indeterminable time did attempt to sweep kick me with absolutely no provocation while I was walking down the sidewalk in downtown Los Angeles.
It made me laugh and i kept walking.
You really got to be some sort of low life to really get some satisfaction from going out of your way to assault a helpless person like that. Does it make you feel grown up because you can do something cool you saw on TV? Does that make you feel strong or good about yourself somehow?

I have used that as a gimmick for panhandling before. "You can kick me for two bucks" and still no one ever kicked me.
If you kick a homeless person they are quite likely to kick you back twice as hard. Remember that in most cities, the homeless, especially street punks control a lot of the goings on. I know that if you give money to homeless people they soon know that you give homeless people money and everyone will ask you. They same goes if you kick people. Soon all of the homeless community will know and you'll be the one getting kicked--REALLY hard and just for a little laugh or two. ha ha

That is really cruel.. Never kick a person when they are down. What if something happen to you and you became homeless would you want someone to kick you? Its not funny at all.

No, I never do it and whoever does such things should be ashamed of themselves. It's wrong to do this to people and you shouldn't forget that homelesses are people too and that they are having a hard enough time as it is without people kicking them too.

Let's just say I do not have a problem with the homeless but I do have a problem with a man who sells drugs beside a church threatening to assault my wife a number of months ago, around springtime. She was not pregnant yet and was walking to town to get some beer for us.

No... But, I've been kicked when down and lifted when low.... and remember to lift others when they were in need in hopes of remembering what it means to be hurt while I was there......

No, thats classified as assault & while they may be homeless they are still humans and have human rights.

No, never! And I think people doing such a thing are cruel and mean.

Very very cruel act that is.
Those who have should be charged with assault.
