Hold your horses. I’m just getting started. RT @TheBrandonMorse: So many jokes. RT @KemberleeKaye: Saw the strangest thing today.

Went to the corner donut shop to get a kolache (standard breakfast fare in Texas, also breakfast tacos, but anyway).

There was a homeless man sitting at a corner table, drinking a cup of coffee holding his pack.

The line was pretty long and several customers in front of me was a little old, curly headed lady. She bought the homeless man a donut.

She went back to the counter to complete her purchase and the man followed her. I assumed to thank her.

“I have two questions I ask before I accept charity.” The man says.

“Are you a Christian?” he asks. The little old lady said she was. He raised his voice and said Christians preach hate against ‘homosexuals.'

The little old lady was clearly uncomfortable and tried to exit the donut shop. The man followed her and threw the donut at her. Threw it.

He turned an act of charity into something hateful because he believed she believed hateful things. #someta

Only in America do homeless people ‘ask two questions’ before accepting charity.

It breaks my heart for the man; that he can’t understand the kindness of a simple gesture is such a sad way to live life.
