My husband worked with homeless and mentally retarded adults in St. Louis for 
a long time.  A lot of your homeless people on the street are there because 
they want to be there.  No flames.  I just mean that they are more 
comfortable outside the confines of a building ...especially a building with 
rules.  They often go and get fed and then go out again.  Of course that is 
not always the case.  But when someone acts this way in public, it often 
means that they need medical help or they have medicine that causes them to 
do things out of the ordinary.  Just driving away and leaving him alone was 
perfectly acceptAble.   In our society it is hard to know who is scamming you 
and who is not. But when you give, give freely and it is unto Christ.  He may 
have been "the least of these" and he may have been a con.  doesn't matter.  
confrontation is not called for and prayer is.  He may just have a bad temper 
and we ought not to reward bad behavior with attention at any age.  Except 
for me, I need attention all the time. <G>  Janet
