Can I have a dollar? No? STAB!

Man Asks Pedestrian for $1, Then Stabs Him | NBC New York

Didn't see this posted. I've been approached three times in two months at gas stations. Ugh.

 

[Garb]

I've been approached recently too. I always ignore them.

A three tap with .45ACP would cost about a dollar.

Save the dollar.... give the tap.

Anytime somebody asks me for money, I round house kick em in the face. It's just how I roll.

This scenario is actually one of the reasons I just got my first gun. I get approached all the time by homeless people in ATL...sometimes very aggressive ones. The police got called on the last one who harassed me. Looking forward to my GWL in the mail soon.

Im even getting asked for a dollar or a smoke down in Greenwood, and Whiteland as of late. This never used to happen around here. Times are tuff for some people. I carry for this reason!

.45ACP 230gr gold dots cost more than a dollar each. The dollar would be more cost effective!

Not necessarily. It would be cost effective for you short term only. The adverse side effects of this type of problem cost all of us. Especially when the problem persists or police get involved when 4 people want a handout and won't allow you to leave.

You guys are just plain harsh. These are people, human beings, your fellow man. Maybe you someday.

I hope your conscience kicks in after one of these encounters, at least that is something.....

Of course, you should always be prepared to defend yourself, but have you ever been hungry? I mean really hungry?

when i see a homelees man walking towards me I ask him for a $1 before he can ask me...I actually had 1 give me 50 cents

If a man needs food I'll buy it for him.
In these cases the "need" is for booze or drugs.

I will buy a man a meal but give HIM MONEY absolutly NOT. How many of them asking for money will buy booze or drugs? 99% pretty close i would say

I will buy a man a meal...

This is enabling, creating a possible threat for the next "victim." Panhandlers only do it because they have success at it.
Did you not read the OP?

 

[darkkevin]

yeah i don't think this is about denying a hungry person his next meal, it's about a VERY commonly used approach at public places to get close enough to cause you harm.

A few years back I used to get off the 465/Pendleton Pike exit almost everynight to visit friends after work and there was a homeless guy always sitting at the end of the off ramp..... one night I thought about him when I stopped at McDonald's for burgers and decided to get him a couple double cheeseburgers...... literally 4 days after the last encounter I see his picture on the 5:00 news...... Wanted in connection with a string of murders on the northeast side of Indianapolis...... Lesson learned........

Where do you buy such cheap personal defense ammo? =)

Ever hear of a soup kitchen/food pantry/homeless shelter?

ETA: Though, if they were truly asking for money because they were hungry, I have more respect for those who come and politely ask for help, then I do for those who hide behind the gov't JBT's who take it from you under threat of prison and give it to them.
