I read this on yahoo. In this age where every week you read a story or see a video of cops abusing their power and violating peoples rights. Or assaulting every day citizens for minor offenses, it is good to see that not all cops are Nazi's. That there are still a few good guys left out there.
ReplyDeleteI actually recognize this homeless man. He is always standing on the corner of 41st and Lexington in NYC, right next to my office building. He is truly a sad sight. Never wears shoes and has nasty feet. He never bothers anyone.
ReplyDeleteThe sad part is, maybe he has a mental illness, and he will be barefoot again soon. There is a person like that here. People help him, but then you always see him in the same condition later. We give him food from time to time.
DeleteThat`s great ! , now he can have warm feet while he starves to death. The billionaire mayor Bloomberg preventing food handout`s to the homeless because he can`t determine fat content !.
