There ARE ways to be safe and charitable at the same time!
People on this forum sometimes have a very one sided perspective on life. How's the saying go?

We're not talking about philisophical perspectives on life. We're talking about having your car blocked by an aggressive individual who demands you come to his window so he can ask for money. Being charitable or not in THAT SPECIFIC incident is what this thread is about.
While you're opening your wallet and figuring out a safe way to give him ten dollars, I'd being calling 911 and informing the dispatcher that an individual blocked my car to preven me from leaving while he demanded money.
The scam was the pretext he used to solicit money.
The act of using his vehicle to detain his selected victim, IMO, was a form of physical violence that hasn't attracted much interest on this thread. Everyone's still agruing about whether it was a scam or not.
I guess we all have our priorities.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
