    Having a hobo posse on your side is magical. I got cred when a homeless guy saw me stand up to a literal Nazi with a knife harassing ICE protestors. Every time I ran into Bushwhacker, the hobo, he would tell his friends the story of that day, gradually exaggerating the events with every telling.

    To be fair, Sandwich Man is the real hero. Helping people who are generally ignored by society is humanity in the truest sense.

      The fucked up thing is that anon could actually be fired for this.

      I was homeless for a bit and there was a woman who worked at Panera who would help me out. A couple times a week, she gave me a day old loaf of bread they were planning to throw out. That bread was like 75% of my daily calories, so she was basically keeping me from starving.

      Corporate fired her for giving me the bread instead of throwing it out, then sent someone to confront me and ban me from the store. The guy from corporate gave me a BS line about “liability” when he was kicking me out.

        This must be an international thing. I have almost exactly the same experience but as a student. Older lady from the shop got fired as giving dated food was considered liability and stealing.

      Until corporate find out and fire him for theft or stock shrinkage because businesses would prefer to toss stuff out before donating it to people in need.

        They’d probably claim liability as a reason not to hand out food. Solution: draft a form waiver for all recipients to sign.

          They actually already do. Many grocery stores, when tossing food, require it to be made inedible - bleach or turpentine or something else horrifyingly bad to ingest and strong-smelling gets dumped on it.

        Yeah and a lot more voted for Trump thinking he was a hero.

        The masses aren’t right no matter what, and a site that is one of the main sources of all the horrible shit in modern societies is never going to be wholesome, even if a million people upvote this post.

          The content of this post is wholesome, it doesn’t matter what you think of 4chan

          It could have been written on Xitter, scribbled in the mud with a stick or tagged on the metro, the content would still be wholesome

            So if I show you a video of a few nazis in uniform talking about something nice it’s wholesome?

            I’m sorry but I can’t accept that. Wholesome stories don’t come from horrible people, and that’s all there is on 4chan.
