"Man with dog on corner at Lowe's & HEB For those of you that support the bearded man with his dog or new puppy - I saw him get out of a silver Chrysler Sebring with new vehicle tags on it and walk to his corner with his dog and sign."Link To Complete Thread On ADC To View All Comments: www.atascocita.com/m essage_board/view_me ssage.php?message_bo ard_parent_id=1Emoticonage=@sweetie  @beadweaver  ....And my beautiful, most generous, kind, caring KDC  friends....For some time I have personally given (and specifically purchased) Kenneth (whom they are referring to in the above mentioned ADC Thread) food, assorted drinks, bottled water, food for his canine, blankets, towels, a jacket, and yes, even cash........And I know that several of you have done the exact same....Heck, I've even came on the Board here, started Threads and vouched for this dude....My bad, you all, as I was obviously wrong.... ....If Kenneth is simply using people's kindness as weakness, taking advantage of one's good nature, kind heart and caring sentiments, and that's what seems to be the unfortunate scenario here, then: A.) May all of the local community residents be warned of this Scam, and he not profit a single Dime any further....B.) May he never be in serious need, as I'm done, and I'm sure others will be as well ...C.) May God reveal the meaning of "Conscience" to this man..........And D.) KARMA is a Mo-Fo....   4951

There are more than enough social support programs in this country. Nobody will starve no matter what the media portrays. There is absolutely never any reason to ever give to panhandlers. 4951

@donnatella  @Andreweggplant  @DanStanton  @mm4731I honestly feel quite hood-winked on this one, my friends....I simply fell for Kenneth's hard luck story, and his mention of being a Veteran, along with he and his canine being out in the elements, and his so-called Medical Conditions, well, it simply got the best of my emotions....You know, I like to try and see / believe the best in everyone, and I try to live by God's Golden Rule, so the Sin is on Kenneth, yet the wag of the finger goes to herron.... I am truly sorry for anyone / everyone that gave to this man on my account and accord....Our intentions were noble, yet the receiver was trash....What a f'ing low-life piece of ****...... ....Think I'll swing by the corner tomorrow morning and see if ole Kenneth's posted up..... 4951

Many may think I am mean when I not contribute to an individual, but feel better giving to an organization I can investigate... 4951

My late brother-in-law worked in one of Houston's homeless centers (SEARCH) for many years.  He told us to never give money to the panhandlers because it just perpetuated the problem. He suggested giving them a bus pass so they could get to a shelter, a food voucher (McDonald's used to have booklets you could buy and tear off a meal coupon) or used jackets, sneakers, hats, or blankets (items that were used and therefore wouldn't be sold). 4951

Life lesson learned Herron.  You could give him some ex lax brownies as a special gift.  Lol. I do not give to anyone asking for money on the street, parking lot or knocking at my door.  I tell my daughter not to every give to them either.  Unless it's a neighbors kid selling chocolate bars for sports.  If I want to give I will give at Church or donate to a charity I support like doing the Lupus walk every year.   4951

@herron1345:  Don't feel badly.  You gave from the heart...and followed Christ's instructions (what you do for the least of these etc).  AND...you don't know the facts firsthand.  There are two sides to every story and the truth is somewhere in the middle.I, too, have given him (mostly) money.  Was not a lot.  I did what I thought was best at the time.  (As much if not more for his dog as for him.) 4951

I agree with others- never be sorry for giving from your heart. There will always be weak links and scammers in society. We don't need more of them, but we do need more like you.  And as others also said, we don't know the whole story here. 4951
