Comment on Is it normal that I feel pretty bad for ignoring homeless people begging for money?

Almost every time I’ve offered a homeless person a meal that have declined. I’ve physically seen a “homeless” begger walk his bike from the median, to a parking lot and load it into the back of a band new truck and drive off. If you want to give you just have to take the risk you may be getting scammed.

I have only once had a guy ask for food and truly want it. I actually had a friend who was giving up smoking offer a pack to a guy who got mad at him because it “wasn’t his brand”.
Reminds me of the guy who asked me for gas money at a gas station while driving a brand new Harley.
