Recycling magnate Chen Guangbiao selected a menu of sesame-seed-encrusted tuna, beef filet and berries with crème fraiche at The Loeb Boathouse restaurant for more than 200 residents of the New York City Rescue Mission, the nation's oldest shelter. He even serenaded them with a rendition of "We Are the World" and did some magic tricks.
"I'm looking forward to a good time and a good meal," said Antone Hills, a shelter resident. "I think he's a good guy and he's helping our country."
Wads of cash filled wire baskets at the restaurant, with Chen waving some of the money in front of the guests. But when they discovered that they in fact would not be given any money, an uproar ensued, with some yelling, "We want it now!"
Shelter officials urged Chen not to give cash to the group because many are being treated for addictions and the money could be better used for their programs.
Others waiting outside, unable to get in because they weren't registered, booed and cursed Chen, yelling "liar" and "con man." http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2014/jun/25/tycoon-treats-ny-homeless-lunch-fancy-meal-leaves-/
Both sides are very stupid.
First, the Chinese guy was stupid for giving a luxury meal to the homeless when the money could have been spent in better ways. And you think 1 meal is going to change the outcome of the homeless? They are still going to be homeless after the meal.
And the homeless are just as stupid because they wanted cash and cash is probably the worst thing to give a homeless person who has a could chance of being a drug addict or booze hound. And those complaining are just a bunch of greedy assholes.
So, you have stupidity on both parts.
