Why is it that so many people hate gypsies? Perhaps it's something to do with envy: why should they have it so free and easy and he able to go where they will with their houses on their backs like snails? Of course they're not free, any more than the rest of us are, and though they can travel the road, they don't find many places where they're welcome to stay. People blame them for everything, from petty theft to murder, and indeed the hatred that exists can lead to violence.
