Richmond's Finest

Walking to my car from work, I often run into various types of people...homeless, tourists, colleagues, patients, etc. The other day, I was near the colliseum when I spotted an older Black gentleman standing near the edge of the overpass. He was doing what appeared to be Karate moves to an invisible opponent. As I got closer, he started facing me and doing his Karate chops and kicks. He looked obviously homeless. He motioned to me to smile and then started acting like a mime, yes, a mime. His miming was not nearly as impressive as his fake Karate, but I just smiled as I neared. Hey I'm a nice person... When I got up to him, he put his hand out (palm and fingers extended), so I did what came natural to me....likely not the right thing and I'm not sure what possessed me, but I reached out and slapped him 5 as I walked by. Was this wrong? Perhaps. But I honestly didn't realize it until I had gone past and he started yelling at me. It finally dawned on me that MAYBE he was asking for money or a handout, not an enthusiastic hi-five from a preggie...
