No on knows how much West Virginia is hurting except the people who live here. I live in McDowell County and it has changed so much over the last few decades. Jobs are few and far between and poverty is rampant. This kindness brought me to tears.
@AWE39V8 !!!! And some people are genuinely grateful for their lot in life and are kind enough to say no thanks please give to someone in need. Respect that.
I think this is just one of the most amazing gestures i have seen. People see America as the greatest place on Earth, yet they forget there are ordinary people who struggle day to day there, the same as any country. God bless that secret Santa. And i am not even American
This was a nice story. I can remember driving through a road side check at Christmas time where the police are looking for drunk drivers. An officer handed me two hockey tickets to the local city team. Ottawa 67’s to be exact. I took my dad who was just on the cusp of becoming really ill with cancer. I will never forget that afternoon at the game and the popcorn we munched on together. My dad so loved hockey. Don’t remember who won the game that day, just that wonderful feeling of being with my dad. This December he has been gone 15 years.
It broke my heart to see the woman cry so hard. God bless the people of West Virginia! Thank you for doing something to make their lives a little better!
Hello What if I told you that some king know your name and want to invite you to his palace ? What would you do ? You will be the happiest person in the earth . Now what if I told you that the Lord , God , the creator of this universe is waiting for you to have a relationship with him , And guess what he will offer to you a good life in this life and an infinite life in paradise where you will be treated like a king . Life is short you know So don't waste a minute and read the Lord's 3rd message the quran and you will be guided to this magnificent new life . One more thing You need to do some good deeds , and be the best version of your self every day . I really hope that you accept this message with love Have a great and peaceful life . Translated from French to English
@@cynthiaslade1826 Don.'t see God doing a damn thing. This is the work of a good man who has taken the opportunity to help others. Don' t see why your god gets any credit.
@@codenamemighty2890 Again, don't see where god comes into it. How is this through the works of god? Which of the nearly 200 recognised deities are you referring to? Nope, this was the act of a good man trying to help people who need help. Maybe that's where your god comes in, creating the problem in the first place? Or maybe, think about it, it's just society and no god was involved.
@@codenamemighty2890. Thanks for your reply. Actually I didn't say god wasn't involved and I am sorry if you interpreted my comments that way. What I am saying is that there is no evidence of any god existing here. I don't think anyone is suggesting that the person who actually did some practical good here was god or are you suggesting he manifested himself on earth? Isn't that more the behaviour of the Greek or Norse gods, according to myth and legend? As regards this being caused by god, well obviously I can't agree with that but let's not forget how much racism and hatred there is in the bible (and many other texts on which religion is based but we are speaking of christianity here). Thanks for respecting my beliefs and I certainly wouldn't want to deny you your right to hold your faith but I feel that assigning any credit here to god is without either foundation or logic.
@@andrewgray9663 I think you have an interesting perspective and I respect your viewpoint. I think that no matter one's religion, or lack thereof, that a spirit dwells within us all that was authored by the same power that created us all. It doesn't matter by what name that power goes, I think there is only one universal power and I do believe that whether we recognize it in our own lives or not, when we do good things, that power has been activated. Peace, bro.
West Virginia is Near & Dear to my heart, as All my Kin came from there,& my Childhood was Jug Full of Wonderful Memories. The Country Preacher was my Great Grandfather,& instilled the importance of Roots and family, friends that's still being passed down, even tho we're spread far & wide now. This was just Beautiful to me. "Almost Heaven" hit a Mighty rough patch, but by God's Hand, the People Do get by! Things are lookin' up again for Everyone, but I'm Especially pleased to see WV Back in Business!!!
This is very touching and at the right time. Now when in other places you see communities not trusting law enforcement agencies, and police accused more than often of abuse of power, corruption and escalating violence ....this is like miracle. It is time we become humans again..... Peace, love and harmony.
Omg I was so touched by this video. God bless you secret Santa....GOD IS GOOD! Virtual hugs. Such an amazing heart ♥️ you have. Also, may God send his angels 👼 to keep you save from harm officer.
Some of these negative comments are rather upsetting. A kind benefactor asked this man to distribute these gifts in this manner. Should he have argued about it? Larry seems to be a good man who is obviously trusted by someone. Good for him for being a guardian for the people he's responsible to and thank you to this amazing secret Santa. God bless and keep both
Bill Canfield there will always be those who are unable to see the forest for the trees. Pray for them... they are at war with themselves, not us. I pity them, truth be told.
This makes me think what my dad had told many many years ago when he was a police officer. He said," Son when I was kid, police officers were called, peace officers to keep the peace!" This is a fine example of promoting peace, joy, and much needed love!
I am from Germany and have seen this video. I pay tribute to Officer Stout with respect. I share the joy of these people who have made you very happy with their cordiality. I wish this cordiality existed in Germany. Great Mr. Stout!
Hagen Noack No cordial people in your entire country? Wow...that’s harsh. I live in 🇨🇦. I’ve never met a German who wasn’t a sweetheart,and I’m almost 60. In sports,in the workplace...all nice people. Maybe all the nicest ones come to Canada! I talked with an older German guy tonight at work. I mentioned my favourite German footballers and of course he knew them all. I delivered mail for many years and don’t recall anything except good customers,originally from your country, offering me a drink or a snack all the time. I guess this is why I was surprised by your comment. Peace!
May God bless that Good Samaritan. Anyone who can help another should and for those who receive help, PAY IT FORWARD. It doesn't need to be money. I could be shoveling a driveway, baking a pie, babysitting for free, volunteering, for example. Merry Christmas, Everyone!!! :o)
Thank you for sharing this. It's touching and refreshing. Also, ignore the nasty comments. There are way too many unhappy people out there who can't stand to see someone else treated kindly. It's really sad.
You are so beautiful you made me cry I know hard times are about and they where grateful you making the world a better place sending loving prayer to you Sir...
Great job sir, in your community specially holiday season no tickets for violation as a warning and something from secret santa and thank you sir, to serveb people in your county, i'm not american but i salute you offecer.! Respect from PHILIPPINES.
This officer is one in a million. Not only giving from his heart by enlightening peoples day. But also protecting and serving his community and surrounding areas. God Bless this individual. I hope he get allot of recognition and/or in the news.
Officer I salute you for such kindness and good gesture which made special day for the citizens and thanks to secret Santa, I wonder still good and highly emotional people still prevail in this world. Godbless us all
This is how to do it - giving without asking for the recognition. Pure kindness. I'm inspired. My life has been very difficult for a while now but I realise I can be happier by helping. I thank you sincerely. You have shown me how to make things better for myself. (Bristol, England)
Oh my! This made me cry. How I wish all the people in the world could share a blessings like this...this planet will become a way better place to live in. Helping and caring for each other.
This is a very important act of kindness changing the image we have about U.S. police force. Thank you for being a great example for the rest of the world.
So many kind people in the. World to help people need for. Christmas shopping is very good thank you for sharing your beautiful video. Bless you all thanks
Humanity does exist! So very heartwarming Makes me cry to see what this gift means to these individuals.God Bless you and the secret Santa. Personifies the true meaning of Christmas 💝 💗
I've read the comments made so far. It seems that there's always someone who has to make a negative comment. How about we just say thank you to the Officer and the Secret Santa?
some may think what ever they want why this was done. but making someone happy is almost never a bad thing. no matter if there is someone who makes profit through it.
No profit was made. I do this on a volunteer basis, #SecretSanta made nothing, and Officer Stout stayed over on his own time. Goes to show JUST how JADED you truly are... time to do some soul searching.
We can all learn a lesson from the kindness of other people like this very cool officer stout and the generous person who made a few peoples day much better in times of need. my hat is of to you 👍greetings from east los Angeles
Thank you sir for that wonderful act of kindness. That woman that started crying... I can't imagine how tough it may be for some people out there. May God Bless that community and give them the strength and wealth that they deserve.
I so wish I had a secret Santa. Mom died this August and was adopted a d now have nobody. Soo so alone 1732 61 street NW unit n Edmonton Alberta T6L-1N2 Canada
What an awesome idea and very touching....thank you Officer Stout and the Secret Santa! I just want to say that I do trust and support my local Police and you, Officer Stout and did all along....where would we be without these brave men and women who protect us from people who don't have any respect for anyone or their property. Again, thank you!
"Give this to the kids or someone that needs it" that man's a goddamn hero
@One big eye. One big ear. More probably would have if they were in a position to do so!
Totally agree🙂
Wow! He didn`t even hesitate ONE second to pay it forward to someone more needy! Choked me up...big time!
No on knows how much West Virginia is hurting except the people who live here. I live in McDowell County and it has changed so much over the last few decades. Jobs are few and far between and poverty is rampant. This kindness brought me to tears.
I'm also a city policeman, everyone should take an example of you, you're amazing
God bless santa i need your help i have sick .you have a good heart.take care
I loved the dude that said give this to someone who needs it, true man much love 💕
I'm glad for the guy Giving the money back.Saying give it to someone that needs it
I hope he paid it forward.
I do believe he was sincere and he vowed that he would give to the Salvation Army~ :)
@AWE39V8 !!!! And some people are genuinely grateful for their lot in life and are kind enough to say no thanks please give to someone in need. Respect that.
I think this is just one of the most amazing gestures i have seen. People see America as the greatest place on Earth, yet they forget there are ordinary people who struggle day to day there, the same as any country. God bless that secret Santa. And i am not even American
That first lady had me in tears. She was balling even before she had opened the card.
Id be crying a river too just cos i be thinking im busted for something i must have done wrong that i wasnt aware of.
She was probably going through hard times.
@@BLamorous she definitely was going through something difficult.
I think you mean she was bawling. Balling, I believe, would have a very different meaning.
That's because most of us know real worry and need when we see it..
I like the womans reaction, when she asks him if she can give him a hug. That shows how thankful she is. ♥️👍🏼
3:05 give it to someone who need it . Thank you sir your a true gentleman

Bless you and whoever donated that money! You are proof that we can be better people!
It broke my heart to see the woman cry so hard. God bless the people of West Virginia! Thank you for doing something to make their lives a little better!
The true joy of giving. This is the magic of Christmas. Blessings to this officer and the secret Santa.
You've Just Made An Old English Man CRY!! XXXX
Me too fella. Its good to give....its good to cry
Merry christmas to you.xxx

Because I weeded this comment garden with napalm... before this, I didn't believe in censorship. #Ironic
Can’t help but watch this over and over every time it come up! What an amazing Secret Santa!!❤️❤️❤️
I don't very often comment on a video but this was very touching for me. May God bless APD and Officer Larry Stout.
We can all learn a lesson from the kindness of other people like this very cool officer stout and the generous person who made a few peoples day much better in times of need. my hat is of to you 👍greetings from east los Angeles
Wow, that really warms my heart! I might of 😢 a little? God bless you!
Thank you sir for that wonderful act of kindness. That woman that started crying... I can't imagine how tough it may be for some people out there. May God Bless that community and give them the strength and wealth that they deserve.
It's extremely tough for some and I'm one of them. I so wish I could have love this Christmas 587-930-8049
