This is a funny story. She was so concerned for the rabbit she paid and is providing for it. The homeless guy? Given 100 bucks and told to buy food with it. What happened to him? Who cares
This is actually a pretty good ploy for homeless (or nearly so) people in the land of nuts, with a high concentration of wealthy vegetarians. Buy a $10 rabbit and a $5 leash, parade it around until some wealthy vegetarian asks why you have a rabbit, sell it to said horrified wealthy vegetarian, buy another rabbit and leash, pocket $85, rinse and repeat. May need to work in teams; some of these people are probably to dense and/or stoned to realize the rabbit may not be a pet, so you get a ringer to ask in front of them. Maybe even lament as to how he doesn't have the money to save the poor noble rabbit.
I have no opinion on the governor vs the NAACP, but I will defend at least some of the NAACP. We had a run-in with a contractor who decided on his own to delete a significant portion of the job. When we insisted he build what was on the plans, he wanted an extra $20 grand or so, actually enough that he would not have been the low bid even with the minority allowance if memory serves (which it may not, been awhile.) Refused his extra money, he filed a grievance with the NAACP, Atlanta chapter. They came up, heard his grievance, looked at the contract and the contract documents, and told him "Brother, you don't have a leg to stand on." They did not try to extort money for him (or for themselves), they did not try to get him anything to which he was not honestly entitled, they did not try to stretch any legal definitions in his favor. They merely came up to a hearing to make sure that a black contractor was not being taken advantage of, and were most professional and courteous and scrupulously fair. The baseless complaint of racism cost everyone involved a fair amount of time and money, but the NAACP themselves were faultless.
I am very much against government discrimination based on skin color or ethnicity, but I think the NAACP can still play a useful role. Many times black contractors or businessmen are relatively new and less sophisticated than their competition and contracting and awarding agents, and I can see how an organization with that level of sophistication can keep them from being screwed over. As long as they are honest and fair, I have no beef with the NAACP.
