The Donner party is the name given to a group of emigrants, including the families of George Donner and his brother Jacob, who became trapped in the Sierra Nevada mountains during the winter of 1846-47. Nearly half of the party died, and some resorted to eating their dead in an effort to survive.

Compared to the more extreme actions of humans in survival situations, such as the Andes and Donner episodes, the homeless man taking clothing to keep warm is a non-issue.
It depends on your perspective...
