    Homeless people is the biggest crock on the planet.....

    Ive got several in my family. Call me asking for money. “Sure come on over I got some odd jobs that need doing and I’ll pay ya double to do them.”

    Never seen them but one time. And I kept my end of the bargain 3x. Paid him more for a weeks work than I make. Last I heard from him 4 years ago.

    The rest just don’t call me anymore because they already know the answer.

    Sorry!

    Rant Off

    I might call the police, but there’s no way that I would intervene myself unless maybe I thought someone’s life was in danger. And even then it would be with great reluctance!

    Gather a crowd, sell tickets and take bets on who wins. Everyone needs a side hustle.

    There was a group of homeless that lived around the TA in Baytown Texas. 4 guys and a woman. Always arguing, always fighting.

    Was chatting outside the front one night with a driver when we heard the woman yelling for help. The driver becomes alarmed and wants to investigate.

    “Driver, this happens every single day. It’s five of them total. If you get involved, you are in the wrong. Even if the cops become involved, it’s you that’s going to jail. Mind your business.”

    Unless I personally know one or both of the individuals I'm sure as hell not going to step in... At least not in todays society, they are liable to both turn against me if it somehow escalates to me having to defend myself.

    If that appears to be the end of it then I'd mind my own business. If it appears that it could continue I would probably make an anonymous report to the police of a domestic disturbance.

    I have a family of my own to worry about, I dont need to risk thier well being by getting mixed up in other people's problems.

    If she has a Facebook account, that in and of itself is a red flag.

    Sadly though, if you're a male that has NO social media at all, you are red flag city. Most will just completely ignore you once they find out.

    If she's a better shot than me, I will happily make her a sandwich - especially if she looks like the woman in that picture.

    Edit: Forget the sandwich, I'd grill her a steak.
