Ryan Bray consistently demonstrates kindness, particularly towards individuals who require assistance. While heading home from work one Sunday, he encountered a panhandler soliciting change on the street. Given the prevalence of beggars in his neighborhood, such encounters are not uncommon for him.
Bray was touched by the man’s story and made the decision to assist him in a more significant manner than just giving him a few coins. He proposed to the beggar to work for his family business at a rate of $15 per hour, with the goal of helping him transition off the streets for good.
Bray considered increasing his cash offer, but the man’s demeanor turned threatening. It seemed that Bray’s employment offer had sparked anger in the beggar, fueling his sense of entitlement and undermining his idea of a “good life” where money is given without effort. Bray, who typically minded his own business, was taken aback by the outburst. He promptly returned home to create his own sign before returning to the same street corner. There, he publicly criticized the panhandler for his laziness and lack of initiative.
Bray, known for his compassionate nature, felt the need to teach this beggar a lesson. This led him to stand on the street with a sign encouraging drivers to refrain from giving money to beggars.
The unidentified homeless individual in Florida claimed to journalists that Bray had deceived him by not offering a job. His only desire is to receive assistance in order to escape life on the streets. He intends to utilize the funds acquired through begging to gradually enhance his quality of life, one cent at a time.
Despite this, Bray remains loyal to his account and is willing to stand there with his sign portraying the beggar as a homeless individual.
I proposed a rate of $15.00 per hour for him to take care of my yard, but he declined. If we collectively cease payment, they will relocate from our neighborhood.
Bray, previously mentioned, saw the beggar’s insult as a chance to discourage people from giving money to those on the streets.
Bray said he extended his arms into my car, placing them there, and asked, “Hey, do you have any money?” I replied, “No, I have something better for you.”
Florida panhandlers, according to Bray, will “rape your mother and kill your wife” if they are not controlled. That’s the reason he opted to take down the sign and discuss his interaction with the beggar with his neighbors.
