Because the aliens might be 'homeless' aliens stranded on earth as well.

And in episode 18 I definately thought they were trying to show that Kurono was becoming more inhuman.

Anyway, the scenes with those guys with baseball bats aren't even in the manga so you can just ignore them IMO.

yup, that part is not in the manga, but I'm really wondering why they decide to put it in the anime

Spoiler:

I feel the switching between scenes of Kurono going berserk and the two bat guys killing the homeless guy who was the one saved by Kurono and Katou really should serve some reasons... I'm more in favor of it implying that the humanity in Kurono is dying... or the brave heroic side in Kurono is dying... the homeless guy could be said as an evidence of Kurono's human/heroic side...

I don't quite like comparing Kurono killing aliens to bat guys killing homeless guys... but then the same song before the killing might be a hint to this... although I'd say there's the difference that the GANTZ guys killing aliens for their own survival, while those bat guys are just killing homeless guys for fun...

I guess it could be a hint of the anime taking a new original route in the plot?
