...if he wasn't drunk, he wouldn't have the courage to attack someone?

Sorry, don't buy it. Being drunk has little to do whether you are inclined to violence or crime. Sure, it may lower inhibitions, but it's not going to make a normally placid person become violent. Desparation (IMNSHO)has a lot more to do with it. (I used to drink...a lot...and I never started or got involved in the first fight.)

If you read one of my other posts in this thread, you'd see I work where there's a LOT of homeless. We're about 10 blocks from the shelter, 3 from the free clinic. Homeless people cut across our parking lot all day long. Every employee there has had their car broken into at least once in the 4 years I've been there, myself included. We just know now not to leave *anything* laying out where it might serve as a temptation to smash a window, grab and run.
