OK here we go...LOL

I was crusin around downtown long beach when I had this weird craving for a gallon of Horchata (some kind of mexican rice/cinimon drink that taste danm good). Anyway theres a bum there and since I feel extremly sorry for people (I always give money to those peeps like safe a life foundation and etc.....guess thats the christian in me lol) Well I go buy him a sandwich and a water bottle then I leave.

He comes up to me and says "I need money please give me money..and I need a ride"

I could see he is holding a metal pipe to my Celica.

So then I go in Hulk Kamikaze mode (you know me) and he started to almost bash my spoiler when I kicked him in the balls (I know I know...not below the belt..but aiming for my Celica is like kickin me in the balls). Needless to say, he got owned. I felt sorry for him though so I bought him another sandwich and told him to go to church. What would you of done in that situation?

dude, never give bums money, never offer to give them rides or let them crash at your place. I know this sounds harsh, but if you value your life, and want to really help the guy out then you will notify the local homeless shelter or local social service/church.

Remember people dont naturally like beings bums/homeless. This is a lifestyle they choose to live, when most people become desistute they'll get help either through the government, charity, or religious service to get back on their feet. Bums live the way they do because they have serious chemical imbalances caused by depression or drugs, so they have no desire to act within societal bounds, this includes other peoples safety. They just dont care.

We have lots of bums in D.C. and plenty of homeless shelters and social services to get them off the street, but whenever the cops/social services try to get them off the street they always go back!

Seriously leave this to the professionals, its like trying to help a dog with rabbies. sure the dog might be hungry and take any food you give it, but it be just as likely to bite your hand off, what it really needs is medical attention to take care of the real problem.
