Was cruising instagram and came across twitchthis8 instagram. He gave some homeless dude, the shoes off his feet and some money to get some grub!! Super cool! I was a fan before but even more now. Just thought it was fucking rad


Sorry I don't know how to imbed the video but I'm sure someone who reads this will

I agree that it's nice for him to do that but I have real dislike for people that document themselves doing nice things for people. Do nice things for the rights reason not for likes.

I guess you could think of it that way, or think of it as him trying to inspire others to do the same, or just be more generous in general.

Should I think Twitch is cool for hooking up a dude, or is he a dbag for documenting it? Seeing how millinials document every fucking thing they do, I'll go with the prior. Helping someone? What a jerk! F off

I don't think twitch is trying to document him doing nice things for likes(sure it probably helped get him a few but I don't see what's wrong with that). Consider this, twitch has 480,000 followers on Instagram alone, if just one person out of those thousands of people is inspired by this act of kindness and decided to do the same, only good can come from it. We need more things like this, documented or not, in the world.

Cool to see that video! I don't personally know him, but I've met him a handful of times. He was extremely friendly and down to earth every single one of those times. Seems like a legitimately nice person

It's all about the day to day. Hold the door open for a disabled person, someone notices and helps someone else and the world becomes a better place. (this coming from a Pantera listening grump that has been humbled by life ).

Pretty awesome!! I see nothing wrong with documenting it and posting it, look at all the negative shit that gets filmed and blown up in the media, this is a breath of fresh air.

His caption on the video states why he gave the shoes and he videod it to spread the word. It's all good, likes or not you cannot unsee somebody doing something good and maybe it'll inspire more to do the same.

Peace out!

People helping people. It's what this world needs more of.

I doubt the person who was able to receive the shoes or food really cared whether it was videoed or not. Acts of kindness show good character especially to the younger generation. Good for Twitch!

Why, because they use their platform to potentially influence more people to do good things?

It's not like he took a selfie with the guy.

Very nice thing of Twitch to do, there's allot of hurting and needy people out there that could use a hand, and if his post inspires any of his followers to do likewise, then I say share away. I'm not really a fan of Twitch but he doesn't come across as the type of person that trolls for likes on social media, so I can believe he didn't do this as a publicity stunt.

I would respect more the guy who gave a homeless person their shoes, even if they documented it, than a douche like yourself who would likely cross the street than help the less fortunate., and didn't document that.

I know blah blah f'ing blah you give money to the homeless when you can etc etc, like f' you do.

Always been a fan. It wasn't like Twitch did a selfie video of himself talking about how he was going to help this guy, and exploit the guy by showing his face. He walked up, said a few kind words, with the camera aimed at his feet. Helping others is what it's all about.

Good for him. I hope he's changed since we bumped into him and his crew out at Ocotillo years ago. My then young son rode over to his group of cool guys on his 85 and got totally ignored and "Cool guyed" he went from being all excited to talk to them to being bummed out and saying they were dicks. Which in retrospect maybe wasn't such a bad thing. They were the most unfriendly group of jackoffs we've ever ran into out there. Glad he's matured up a bit

I agree 100%. He has a large following. Maybe he taught or inspired more people to go out and do something kind.

I bet the homeless guy with new shoes and a warm meal doesn't care about his motive. Do something kind for someone. You never know how much it might mean to them or how badly they need it.

Twitch don't believe in karma. He is a Christian. His God tells him to do it in love. 1st John 3:17.

That's good on Twitch. I don't know how people can hate on the guy for doing that.
