Hello Folks, I'm the OP. Because of the character limit I couldn't get in all the information so I just left the guts of it. The hobo that attacked me is a guy who's come up to me before and has had different stories. He's either: A vietnam vet (despite he's about 30), a broke composer, or the pregnant one. I finally had enough and decided to say something other than "Nope, no change". I don't care how malnourished anyone is, a swift kick in the nuts and you're going down on the ground. So I've now been beaten by the smelly hobo, The other people at the bus stop were helpful enough to sit there and watch me get beaten and robbed. I've reported it to the cops, so we'll see what happens. (Keep up the comments, they make me smile, even the rude one's who don't seem to notice their hypocrisy calling me a douche or a dick or whatever when all I did was pretty much the same thing. A hypocrite is a legless man who teaches track.)

I would have robbed you too. You don't know what they've been through, maybe they've gotten the exact same attitude from everyone that whole day- you could have just been the straw that broke the camel's back.
it's a bit extreme. so your life sucks.
YDI for being a dick
he was likely to mug you anyway and was giving an excuse to it..
And...you deserved it big time.
I don't think that this is entirely the fault of OP. You shouldn't go up to strangers like that, it's uncomfortable, and quite rude. Nobody has to give money to people on the street, no matter the circumstances. Although, I'm sure the wise ass remark is what go him beat up, for sure.
That's why i always carry a knife...
Seriously, i would have done the same thing. She probably got pregnant accidentally. He was asking for help, not judgement.

You should have just gave him a couple bucks in the first place to buy food for him and his wife and child. But you decided to be a dick, so he took beat your ass. Do you really think a starving pregnant woman and her baby is worth joking about?
A legless man teaching track isn't hypocrisy, it's irony.
