Killed over taking a picture or an "inteview" excuse?

[RHenriksen]

Years ago, I was approached by a homeless man just minutes after finding a crisp $50 bill on the sidewalk. I figured easy come.. easy go.. and handed it over to him with a big smile. Minutes later, sirens and cop cars swarmed the area, and my curiosity got the best of me, so I turned back to see what the fuss was about. My heart sank when I saw that same homeless man pinned on the ground by a bunch of officers next to the bloody body of a young lady about the same age as me. He had evidently stabbed her in the neck when she refused to cough up a "donation". I never was able to find out if she made it or not and carried around a bunch of guilt for years because I wondered if I actually had a direct hand in encouraging that sicko to expect everybody to fork over cash. I was a stupid naive girl who learned a big girl lesson that day!

Wow. That is one heck of a story.
