The FBI Placed me here, "No Pictures"

Scott Walker July 17, 2014

She was sitting only 3-feet from the edge of a busy roadway begging for money. Her cup said "Brain Injury, Homeless, Cancer, Need Food." We did not ask questions, besides "Would you like a Pizza?" She quietly responded, "I don't have any dollars." My friend told her that the pizza is for her, free. She reached for it and I snapped a picture. She quickly held her hand up and stated, "No pictures, the FBI placed me here and are protecting me - they don't want anyone to know where I am." I did not argue. I only took a single photo of her hand in front of her face. Mental illness on the streets of our country is a significant problem.
