Reply to comment by unknownpanda121 in TIL that NBA Player Lou Williams was almost carjacked in 2011, until the thief recognized him and stopped because he was a Lou Williams fan. Lou Williams took him to McDonald's as thanks. by FiNN8778
I grew up super poor. I sometimes get the feeling that when you can relate to a criminal you don’t take the crime too personally. Lots of us have been so close to the edge you wonder if you’ll have to start committing crimes to get by. It isn’t a “mentality” that makes a person more likely to commit crime. I don’t know anything about Williams’ background, but I wonder if Williams felt that way. I doubt he was trying to change the carjackers ways. He probably was literally just buying him a burger

In the interview he is buying him a burger and stalling for time for his bodyguard to get there. He isn't trying to do some change your life mission.
