“Someone fighting for their life and that of their two small children knocks on your front door and you turn them away?
God have mercy on his soul.”
OK, let me get this straight, some crazy black woman tries to break into my house during a hurricane then comes up with some story about her kids being in trouble and I’m supposed to believe her? How do I know that she’s telling the truth and what am I supposed to do? Leave my home open to looting while I go and get myself killed trying to save some kids that I’m not sure even exist while she does what? Sit in my home drinking hot chocolate?
There’s been plenty of cases of good Samaritans either being robbed because it was a scam or even worse getting themselves killed trying to do a rescue that they have neither the ability, training or supported needed to actually do anything other than die in the futile attempt.
Also, where was the father(s) in all this? why were these kids left in the care of someone that obviously was not competent to even take care of herself let alone a couple of kids.
I don’t blame the guy given the circumstances I probably would have done the same thing. If it had been a neighbor or someone I knew and cared about then yes but there are times that you just have to let people suffer the consequences of their own poor choices and this looks to be one of those times.
What about a crazy white woman? Would you have let her in? Yes, lots of single women go looting during the height of a hurricane.
