Re: WHEW! Weird experience on Saturday at HEB

My two cents would be that the "threat" was a little over the top. If he had made any threatening move other than grabbing the basket, I might say different: were both hands visible and on the basket? did he indicate violence?

Secondly, when I have been confronted with an indigent person, at least in two specific circumstances, I believe I was confronted by "angels unaware". I was given a chance to do the Christian thing and I did the selfish thing. I each instance the cost was small but I chose to keep what was requested: an apple, and a sandwich.

Now, my confrontations were different: I was not alone, I had a back out path, and I was in a very public place. That I regret my actions, and the little cost to me if I had complied, have followed me for a long time.

I know that you're situation was different, and you were in a tight situation, literally. (and yes, my bleeding heart is showing a little, probably because it's Sunday and I'm with my family :oops: ).
