You think it's a setup?

You probably believe that Obama getting elected was set up...
9/11 was a set up....
The landing on the moon was a set up.....
You probably believe Elvis is still alive....

Only idiots would claim or suggest this was a set up.....

Not necessarily. Personally I honestly do not give a flying shit about the whole "touched my heart" bullshit.

When I hand someone $100, I don't want the dumb retard to go to the convenience store and buy some overpriced shit food. I want them to find a way to try and dig themselves out of their hole. Instead it's more of an "I've accepted the place I'm at" from the looks of it.

Well thanks for being honest!!

but it would take way more than $100 to accomplish what you stated --

Since in the video the homeless man suggested and rightly so that those people he bought food for were there through no fault of there own as was his situation......

Yet he probably realized the best use of that $100 was to share and give others food.....

There is no way that $100 was going to change anybody`s life, regardless of what you said!!

And obviously you're clueless on how much the stupid fuck makes when he begs on that street corner all day long.

(Hint: It's a lot more than people who go to actual jobs some days).

Part 2 of that video set is pretty messed up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce9fWbOt2QA

At ~2 minutes, the guy tells how a local cop that patrols the area showed the first video to all the homeless people in the area, who then ganged up on the guy.

No, it's part 2 of what the other poster posted. Pay attention. Why blame your illiteracy on me by calling me a liar? Unless I'm missing who you are saying is lying, then disregard these negative statements.
 
"Make sure he doesn't see you."
[man sees them]
"OK, just keep filming. [We can cut that part out. This part too.]"

I thought for sure the guy walking into the liqueur store was buying booze. I help people out all the time. It's the thought that counts I guess.
 
Retracing his route on Google Maps, he passed a 76 gas station/convenience store to get to Euclid Liquor from the CA-91 East ramp. He then proceeded to pass a Walgreen's, Arco AM/PM, Mobil, 7-11, and many other little market/grocery stores on his way to La Palma Park, so he wasn't trying to reduce the distance he had to carry the food. Are liquor stores typically cheaper than gas stations and drug stores when it comes to snacks or something?!

Assuming it wasn't a set up, then he almost certainly was. There is no reason to stop there on the route he took unless he wanted alcohol.

That's the route you take when you want to fake out the soft-hearted/soft-headed on the internet.

The guy filming it makes his money posting prank videos on youtube. You guys have been had and he's laughing all the way to the bank.

is that the video that has 16 million views? how much is that in ads revenue, fifty thousand dollars?

Yeah I'd say about right since I heard a ballpark rate is around $5 per 1,000 views although that's more than 50k but still not terribly far off.

I corrected the route. He went to a different park and the "Mohican" sign in the video was a different "Mohican." It's fixed now. He did pass almost all the same places.

If it's not a setup then it's very clear that he went to the liquor store first thing because he wanted liquor. No question. Not sure why people assume otherwise just because he pulled some food out of his bag. Doesn't mean there isn't booze too! Also doesn't mean he spent that money on it (he was already carrying around something in that bag).

Ugh. If that ain't click-bait, I don't know what is.
