He wants money, and I imagine he sold the shoes for drugs, which wouldn't surprise me.
I got into a fight with one of my more leftist friends about this..
I said it was a waste to directly give many homeless money.
Why?
Because they really don't have any idea what to do with it.
What needs to happen is a re-education of sorts.
Starting with personal responsibility.
I never give money to the homeless. Ever. There is a homeless guy who sells magazines down at the local mall, but he spends it all on smokes, so he gets nothing from me.
I will give money to those people who busk - I love people who can play an instrument, who do something to earn their money, rather than just sit there and expect it.
