On the show “What would you do,” they did an experiment to see if a lady fell down on the street, would anyone help her? Right away she was helped and they called 911. A few people just walked away but mostly everyone that saw her stopped and helped. When they replaced the women with a homeless man, people didn’t really stop but a few did. However, when they switched to a homeless man with a beer in his hand, no one stopped except one crippled lady with a very big heart. She had been homeless too at times. She didn’t have a phone so she asked people walking by to call for an ambulance. No one even looked at her. She threw away his beer can thinking that would help but still no one stopped. Then finally one woman walked by and called 911. She saw on the news that this happened to a homeless man in Washington. The man was beat up and hit his head on a car and was lying there for a long time before someone called 911 but it was too late. He died of his injuries. She didn’t want this man to end up the same way the man in Washington.

The crippled woman gave him a name, Billy. She built up a personal relationship with this stranger. More people decided to help after she called 911. A man tried to make a pillow for him. When the crippled woman knew he was ok and this was all a skit she left. They tried to find her but the address and phone number that she gave them was wrong. Eventually they did find her and helped her. She was paralyzed it turns out. It just shows if you help someone, you’ll get help in return.

I hope that I would have the decency to call 911. How long does it take to just dial three numbers? You can save a person’s life. It’s so easy to get involved but most do not. The homeless man is a human being just like us. God made him the same way he made us. It’s not fair to just help the woman but not the homeless man. That’s discrimination. The people walking by thought that they were too good for them. They aren’t in heaven yet.
