Blake pulled up to a red streetlight in Chicago at an intersection where homeless individuals frequently ask for money. Today was no different than any other. The usual young male was standing there in dirty tattered clothes looking slightly more disheveled than usual, but that is to be expected with the heat wave the city was currently experiencing. Today, the man seemed rather pushy. Instead of just standing on the corner hoping someone would offer to help him out he came up to Blake's car window, repeatedly banging his fist and loudly yelling that he was in need of money. Blake began to feel extremely uncomfortable and threatened. Luckily after a stressful minute or two the light turned green and he drove off. If the homeless man committed a crime, what type of crime might it be?
A) crimes against property
B) crimes against persons
C) crimes against public order and morals
D) crimes against loitering
