[edit] Merge
"Homeless discrimination" is not an alternative name for "hobo bashing". Homeless discrimination refers to the lack of equal opportunity in housing, employment and other services for homeless people. The circumstances described in this article, the bashing of homeless people, belongs in the broader article Homelessness, in particular, Homelessness#Violent crimes against the homeless.

[edit] Re: Merge
Ok, I accept your opinion. I think that it should be merged. But discrimination isn't just an unequal opportunity for the homeless, apparently most homeless people had an opportunity to have a home (getting a job, government support, etc.). In my opinion discrimination refers to people being offencive to the homeless. But still, merging the article makes perfect sense.
