Homeless Vet shows incredible generosity to a homeless child

1. I was getting really ticked off by the way this man was treated...

His generosity underlines the fact that those who have the least are often the ones who give the most.

That officer should lose her badge and be charged with battery. I was utterly disgusted.

2. I was also disgusted the way she treated the man. The guy who threw the chips on the man..

...Agrrrrrrr!

3. Yeah. And the people who pointedly gave to the child and while ignoring him

And scoffed at his being a vet.

4. As a nation we should be ashamed that ANY vet has to panhandle to eat.

5. It's been like that for a long time, and I have been ashamed for a long time.

8. I hope this makes you feel better

But these guys have already been exposed on Snopes for their "freezing homeless child" social experiment on youtube. This looked like a setup to me so I checked snopes. I didn't find this one on Snopes, but if other of their films are faked, I don't trust this one.

Don't believe every thing you see.

Claim: New York City pedestrians ignored a freezing, homeless child for two hours.

FALSE!

9. This is about a homeless vet & his generosity, and the shitty way he was treated by passersby.

10. I know this is not the same video

But it is made by the same MOEandET team that does similar "social experiments" through video. If they staged one (like the link I provided from Snopes), they most likely stage them all. I have a feeling they are making money off of these highly sensitive issues.

I've seen other videos like this that have been staged, and even videos of the actors that were hired to perform in them. I don't trust anything that looks staged and that was just too extreme for me to buy it. That is not to say that some of the people caught on film are not real...or are they?

Just the fact that they caught this team in one staged video tells me this is their normal modus operandi.

12. Staged

I know people ignore people on the street asking for help... but I also know a staged performance when I see it.
