Hmmmmm....

Yeah, I'm all on board with helping the shoeless homeless and I certainly don't mind honest and humble acts of good hearted people.

What I mind is the media extravaganza behind it. THAT gives me the creeps and makes me wonder if it is somehow staged or deliberately promoted for a purpose.

Also the quote..."It's okay officer I've never had a pair of shoes but God bless you and thank you for what you are doing"

Really? He can speak. He can walk. He can navigate the streets and he's alive all these years and managing to live to be a huge grown man without ever having a pair of shoes?

Sorry but that is over the top and for whatever reason it makes my spidey senses tingle.

As the heartstrings resonate, this story still somehow registers dissonance and it saddens me rather than gladdens me.
