I don’t remember the chapter and verse but Jesus said something to the effect of “I send you out as lambs among the wolves.” He also ran the money hangers, who were con men, out of the Temple. I think that it’s suspicious that somebody just happens to record this whole scene. There is a term known as “Opportunity Costs”. Basically, it asks you to see if you are getting the best use of your resources. Could this policeman have better used that $100? I encourage people to be compassionate and generous...just not to con men.
I don’t see where your reply has anything to do with this situation as Hillman clearly has mental problems, so he’s not a wolf. As far as the officer’s act being “Opportunity Costs”, show me the evidence that would prove your claim? And if you are basing your claim on just your ‘suspicions’ are you not reinforcing the point of my post? And when did we become a nation wherein one person’s ‘suspicions’ where enough to condemn a man’s act? Isn’t condemning people without proof a tactic of the ‘Leftist’?
