"I dont have enough money!", these were words a 17-year-old boy said to a beggar who kept pestering to give him more money before he was stabbed. 17-year-old Carl Ducasse was on his way to a grocery store to get some provisions when a homeless man approached him begging for money. The young man decided to give $2 to the beggar and this seemed to annoy the beggar, who felt $2 was too little.
This incident happened last Friday in New-York city and according to the report of an eye witness, when the beggar approached Carl, he offered $2 to him, then an argument broke out between the two. During the argument, the boy's phone fell on the floor and as he bent to pick it up, he was stabbed several times in his chest.
This is a type of case many of us pray against and hope not to encounter. It is obvious that the homeless man was mentally unstable, possibly on drugs and the little money the young man was able to give him was not enough to purchase those drugs. So let's all be careful with the people we see around us. If you see someone strange lurking too close to you, keep a safe distance.
