I'm sorry, but I have to rob you.

Quote from Arnie:

He could sell/pawn the gun for food. Imagine if that store owner hadn't been so nice. Personally, I would have blown him away. Ypu put a gun in my face...you're dead.

To get those benefits, you have to know how to work the system. A friend was worked at a family shelter for 20 years, some people a very good at working system - kids born to teenagers, some guy wanted child custody so that he could get Section 8, he threaten the mother of the child.

Another case an unemployed grandma "adopted" a grandchild in order to get Section 8. No child, no section.

This guy claims it is for his kids. I doubt it. With kids, you get help fast. Without kids, you go homeless, no help.

I would the same. I have no mercy for anyone with a gun. If he had beg w/o gun, I would had at least given him stuff that is no good for sale the next day - such as pastries or whatever that is near expiration but still good.
 
Quote from Fireplace:

This is really sad, just goes to show you what an otherwise normal person might have to do in order to survive.

I don't know this man but from his demeanor, it sounds like he is genuinely upset that he is in the circumstance that he is in. We don't know, maybe he tried all other sorts of options before resorting to this.

Just sad I think.

Quote from TraderTactics

Is this real?

This only proves how bad the economic situation is, that even nice people resorts to committing rubbery to feed his family.

The only things that amazes me is that more robberies are not happening. We are lucky. There were several more million families that went off unemployment benefits last month. This is not the 1930's. People are not going to starve in the 'land of plenty'.
