I Have never, would never, will never mind helping someone who is truly in need, I have done so many times, But two things happened that make me careful about choosing the time and place to lend someone a helping hand. 1. Had an uncle who spent his retirement in a small RV fishing and traveling the whole country. One day, on his way back from a fishing trip , he decided to make a detour to a campground he liked. the route took him through a very rural area. On a quiet country Hi-way, he came across a young (white) woman standing beside a car with the hood up spewing steam. Woman was waving franticly, so when he got past, he decided to stop to help. As he stoped, he just happened to glance in the right rear view mirror to see 3 black men running up on the ditch side of the camper. (they must have been hiding in the ditch beside the car) He threw it into drive and flored it. one managed to get a hold of the passenger door handle, but was unable to keep up enough to open the door. When he got to the campground, he was talking to his friend, the owner about it. they decided to report it to the local sherif dept. When they did they learned that they were too late. An elderly couple had also stoped to help the girl, and they were beaten (severly) and had their car stolen. 2. On vacation to florida in march 99, Dad and I had just exited the interstate near Tampa. At the end of the ramp was a poor man. Fourty-ish, He had on a dirty flanel shirt, one arm in a sling, walked like his shoes weighed a ton each, holding a sign that said " HUNGRY". I was about the find some change to throuw out the window when the light went green and I had to start moving. Our campgroung was only a couple blocks from there. When I had every thing done for the night and dad was asleep, I went for a walk. I saw that same poor man on the street, but the sling and the sign were gone and he had a spring in his step as walked down the street whistling. He turned in to the first bar he came to. Aparently, he prefered his calories to be of the liquid variety. I pick and choose my personel charaties more carefully now.
