Where the hell do you live? I’ve visited a lot of cities but have never been in a situation even remotely like that

The US is really that bad, eh?

Been to Portland recently. There’s plenty of neighborhoods where you can walk around safely. There’s one small area of downtown where there’s a lot of homeless, and you probably want to stay away from the ICE building for obvious reasons, but other than that it’s like any other city.
Some people are just… irrationally afraid of the homeless. Most of them will not try to rob you or even bother you, but it is a good idea if you find yourself in an area like that, to pay attention to your surroundings and not get too close to anyone, just in case they start swinging their arms around wildly or something.

Oh ye. Not to mention anyone could get a gun at Walmart and go on a bus or train with no one stopping them.
