[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always give a dollar to anyone who asks. I can easily afford it and I would want the same if I was in need. Grown adults don't need your judgment they need your empathy.[/quote]

Same. And if i can’t afford it to say as much. We know the names of most of the homeless people in our block, minus the ones that are legit unsafe/too far gone to communicate with. I also give them fruit, water, and electrolyte tablets in the summer, hand warmers in the winter. Not every day, but when I can. It could easily be you or I in those circumstances. [/quote]

I would hope not! Id hope that society would commit me to a decent facility if I did not have the wherewithall to accept/seek shelter myself. What is a hand warmer going to do in the weather we've had this past week? You should put your energy into encouraging DC Council to legislate better facilities and involuntary holds, not passing out hand warmers. My god, I have no doubt you are a humane person but it's odd you can't see how inhumane it is to be ok with chronic homelessness.[/quote]

This is very narrowminded of you. Consider that I’m likely doing both? Instead of being reactive. [/quote]
