It's truly an enigma to have homeless people living in one of the most affluent areas of the world.

H.R, I remember a long time ago in Catonsville, a nice older couple befriended a young man who needed some help. They invited him to Thanksgiving dinner with the family. they all ate and when everyone went home, the young man murdered both the man and woman and robbed them. Lesson learned.

In Ellicott City a homeless man whose brother lived on the church property killed two church ladies then himslef...remember? You dont invite them into any home. You give to reputable shelters and hope they take their meds and dont shoot the place up.

Wake up people. It could happen to any of us. I've lived in Ellicott City my whole life & seen it happen to more successful people than you could imagine. Don't move here thinking we live in Fairytail Land.
