Story about soft hearted people being taken..... older woman with a panhandling permit.....who'd of thunk it....

A woman in Oklahoma City found that out while begging for money on the street.

The 78-year-old was holding a sign claiming she needed cash for food. According to Daniel Ayala, he had given her money on a few occasions even when he didn't have enough money to pay for his own lunch. The story could have ended there, but then one day Ayala noticed the woman sitting in the driver's seat of a bright red 2013 Fiat — not exactly what you would expect of a woman who begged for money. He couldn't contain himself and let the woman know how he felt by screaming at her in the parking lot.

Brandi Newman was there to witness the confrontation and captured it all on her cell phone before posting the video to her Facebook page on Oct. 1. In the profanity-filled video, which has been viewed more than 3.2 million times, Ayala tells the woman, "I work hard for my money" and "Thursday I did not eat to give you four dollars, and you drive a better car than me?" Ayala also threatens the woman, telling her that if he sees her in the same parking lot again, he will "bust a window."
.
The elderly woman's grandchildren allegedly contacted Newman and told her that their grandmother has a panhandling permit and was not doing anything illegal.

Whoa, I opened this thinking it had something to do with The Villages.

The problem with giving money to individuals is that you never know whether it will go for good or evil. It may make more sense to give it to a reputable charity caring for the homeless instead. I get that Mr. Ayala was angry; I don't think screaming at the woman did anything to make the world a better place.
