Homeless Drug Addict vs Homeless Father
Thought I would share and hear your views...

Who would you offer support to?
Why do you suppose so many people looked at the 'father and daughter' and just walked by?
What does this say to you about today's society?

Re: Homeless Drug Addict vs Homeless Father
Media, society and the people have established the drug user as the victim more than the homeless father is seen as a victim.
And yep, pretty sad..

Re: Homeless Drug Addict vs Homeless Father
I find this to be unbelievable. Which is to say, I don't think this should actually be believed.
In the video we see very short snipits of people giving a guy money to buy weed and booze. Sure, I saw maybe 6 people do it.
How long was the guy there? 15 minutes? 8 hours? He had ~6 small donations.
Then we see people showing apathy towards him when he has his daughter. This goes on for about a minute.
How long was he there with that sign? Was the homeless woman the only one who donated?
Sorry, maybe I'm just cynical, but I think this video is meant only to distort the reality of what likely happened.
I wouldn't give a cent to someone looking for money for weed and booze. I could see myself giving something to a guy with his daughter on the street. That said, money isn't likely what I'd give since I don't carry cash.
