We’ve seen this guy on Providence Blvd with his guitar, his dogs, and with a sign that says “Will work for food” – you can usually spot him around this area, below.

In a recent Facebook post Debbie Barrett made about her recent encounter with this man, she was trying to be generous and give the man some socks….his response is below.

Ok, so as i posted earlier, Haylee Asher and me drove around clarksville looking for someone in need of things and we came across this guys, Haylee rolled the window down and had three pairs of new socks for him, however, he turned around ignored her , so she offered again thinking he didnt hear her, he turned around and stated ” does it say on this sign that i need socks bitch”. I was in shock, Haylee was so upset on his reaction. Then he started videotaping us. I was like WTF.

Remember: If you’re in the giving mood and want to help out the homeless here in Clarksville, we’d recommend Manna Cafe.
