Have you ever helped out a stranger?

Yes. But today so many transients who play people. A police officer said most of the homeless are actually shiftless transients who want to mooch and not work and they go where the pickings are good which is this city. She separated homeless into genuine homeless victims of circumstance and the professional transient. So many churches and volunteers and individuals donating time & goods & money to the shelters, food pantries, clothing closest, etc. that the word has gotten out and they flocked here. They’ll threaten or intimidate people who refuse to hand them money they are begging for and the police have said not to give them money because it goes for drugs & alcohol and the police have to deal with more calls. Also we have groups of Gypsies coming here begging on street corners, always holding signs saying they have to feed their children and have no job. I could tell something was off because one group wore scarves like they were Muslim but they didn’t wear them the right way, the ends were flapping and barely on their head. Muslim women know how to secure a hijab and look very neat with them.
