But he should have offered to buy him some food and a drink.
Never give money
I think they (he) intentionally does this crap to keep the media preoccupied away from dealing with more critical Issues.bluefete wrote:Next thing the man say his FB account was hacked.
maj. tom wrote:So many fallacies that people always put forth as arguments to not give charity. You don't have to give charity you know, it's not the law or anything, but you don't go boasting about it on facebook how you rejected someone in need either.
How he know the man fit and able to perform work? He medically examined the man, or he lustfully eyed his abs and limbs? How he know the man not employed somewhere but still below the extreme poverty line and just need something? How he know he didn't apply to 50 places and got rejected? How do you know ANYTHING about someone else reduced to begging? You don't have to give, you are right to turn anyone away if you want. But don't bleat and boast about not giving.
None of this had to be an issue if he had just shut his ignoble, hypocritical, attention whoring, spiteful face.
Oh and since he is a big testified pretentious Jesus man, Matthew 6:1-4 and Matthew 25:35.

Hinds defends decision not to give ‘beggar’ $20
Fri Aug 28 2020
Newly-appointed Youth Development and National Services Minister Fitzgerald Hinds has sought to defend his Facebook post that ignited fiery criticism over social media.
Hinds made the post following an encounter with an apparently socially-displaced man outside a supermarket on Wednesday, where the minister turned down a request from the man for money. Speaking on the 102.1 FM Power Breakfast Show yesterday, Hinds said he made the post on Wednesday because as he drove off following his interaction with a man, he was thinking about his commitment to the country and his new portfolio.
“The reason that I posted that is because, operating in my mind as I drove off because of my commitment to this country, because of my commitment to young people, I saw that as telling me that here we have some young people in this country who needs to be counselled and to be guided and to be prepared for more productive lives and don’t have to undignify themselves in making request of other people when they can do it themselves.
“All of this is what was operating in my mind, my love, my compassion, and most of all, my commitment given my recent appointment in doing something about these kinds of issues in society.”
Hinds’ post stated, “Not even aware that I was in his focus, on exiting the Massy Foodstore, I entered my vehicle. I settled in and observed a body up to my window. Closer observation revealed a perhaps 30-year old, healthy-looking, muscular man. I looked for the piper in him and could not find it. He beckoned me to talk to him. I rolled down my glass window and he delivered! “Ah just asking for a lil $20 to buy something to eat!” I immediately reflected on a previous occasion when another young man asked me for “ah lil $100”. I have given financial and other assistance many times in greater quantity, but I refused them both! Ah doh like the idea of young, apparently fit men begging! And ah doh like it more, when they tell me hummuch dey want! I reflected deeply on my new portfolio, took a deep breath; and drove away highly energized to do this critical work.”
Hinds has since deleted the post.
But recalling the incident in the interview, Hinds said he also had COVID-19 on his mind when the man approached him as he sat in his car. He said the issue was not so much that he had asked for money but he specified how much he wanted.
Describing himself as one of the most generous people in the world, Hinds said, “So that is just really what was operating in my mind but the context of this was I had just come out of the supermarket and interestingly enough I had gone in there to buy food and God is my witness, for someone who needed it.”
Hinds said he only had time to do a quick assessment because he was in full flight since the place he was heading to was closing in half an hour and he also had to drop off the food.
“Some people are of the view I should have stopped and taken him to my office and found out what was his condition. I just explained to you truthfully what the context was and the time frame and the assessment that I made. It was not about judging the man. I don’t know the man. It was just a quick usual ordinary assessment that every simple human being conducts when another human is standing in front of them.”
Hinds said he felt it was important to make the post because he viewed such experiences as learning and teaching moments. He, however, believes the population wasted too much time on the issue.
“When I now look back with hindsight at the way that matter exercised the whole country almost for that whole day yesterday, I really do think it is a waste of all of our time in terms of exercising ourselves on this matter when there are so many other important things to address.”

This only shows that the recent elections ads where in fact real life and not racist.maj. tom wrote:Hinds write a thesis on national radio on why he scorned someone in need of $20. I can't believe the PNM screening committee put this man back and the people voted this man back. He scorned them so bad during the flood. He brought charges toward a disgruntled resident for getting wet with flood water (doh mind that the people lost property in the flood, he got his suit wet). And they still chose him. PNM doesn't hold their own members to higher "moral and spiritual values" standards as they do for the Opposition members apparently.Hinds defends decision not to give ‘beggar’ $20
