Where I work in DC, there are tons and tons of homeless people. These homeless though are not homeless in the true sense of the word but basically kinda drunk alcoholics and they could get pretty annoying sometimes but I always thought they were harmless. Anyway about 2 years ago I was walking to the train station one of these homeless guys for some reason seemed agitated with Me, and started following Me. I had My headphones on, and I figured I'm walking too fast for Him anyway since they usually seem tired with no energy. The Guy kept following Me, keeping pace with Me and was mumbling something making like threatening gestures but I kept on walking and ignoring Him even though My patience was kinda starting to wear a little bit. Finally this mofo had the audacity to point in My face and poke me almost right in the eye. At this point out of rage I turned around and Hit the Guy in the face one time. I didn't even think I hit Him that hard, but the dude stumbled and fell against a car and just laid there as if He was badly hurt or something. All the people around the vicinity families and stuff were kinda stunned, and I heard someone like "I'm gonna call the police" even though I would've told the police this Guy was harassing Me. Anyways, its obviously low for a normal person to get into a confrontation with a homeless or drunk but some of these guys don't know when to quit, and when drunk or high tend to get violent. The news about the bath salt attackers, zombies, etc. kinda heightened My phobia of these folks as well as the stories of dudes getting thrown off the tracks. Any of You guys had a similar situation?

Yeah, the first thing I tell them is "keeping it moving" or "I'm good you have a blessed day" and if the fucker is super annoying I tell them lets go around the corner, till this day none of them followed me to a corner.

They have aids and shit, I wouldn't physically punch them in the face but grab an object and break their jaw with it.

Most homeless people I see around love Somalis because we're generous with the dollar.

I used to feel so bad for them.

Mural have you ever seen the "homeless" somali guy in dc. He's famous for sticking up convo with any somali he sees and then guilt tripping you for money.

mcali,

Are You talking about the 'Djiboutian' Guy? He may have told You a different story

There's this one here too, uses the deen and Muslim card to get $$

he has the same story everytime, reading from a script....usually stands in-front of hookah lounges.

The one and only. He got me for $25 dallors.

This was the story

He came up to me and congratulated me on having a beard. Then he said I'm from Djibouti nice to meet you and I just came from the masjid. He uses guudmar to tell me he's broke but I refuse to believe it and don't acknowledge it until he starts crying and mentions his poor daughters.
I give him 25 and then instead of saying thank you tells me give me 20 more

What story did he give you

Mcali,

He told Me He was part of some sort of Dacwa/Tableeq group in Djbouti, and is broke. Then later on I saw the nigga with a alcohol bottle in His hand in Crystal City

Akhas my money went to alcohol.

I can't wait for our next encounter.
