“Soda pop”? 1:05 It sounds so 1950s, like a sock-hop I’m so glad they don’t call it “Pop” here on the East Coast

I'm guessing that very few people actually choose to do this And, quite frankly, I consider it work to be standing on a corner chasing cars and holding a sign! Giver don't give it's up to you but keep your negative judgmental opinions to yourself
Comment from : @jeffreykuhn965

Hey I'm homeless i do this But i don't use it on drugs (I'd feel guilty if I did) I use it on having a room a place to stay keep myself off the street i ain't afraid of work i take it when offered

Comment from : @Mel-z3r5o

80 percent of the population in usa doesnt go to church!? but a homeless person with a cell phone is "unethical"? kids are being raised to have blue hair, and play violent xbox video games and not being raised to play baseball, or stand and support WHO! ever is the president like a real american should and they want me to work at a job to pay taxes for them to use the roads with their cars? they want me to server in a draft to the army and die for a "accidental born" kid who's ruining Christmases with blue hair? im not confused, the number one rule in prison is mind your business, these people need to get rolled out

The time it takes anyone to stand around for hours and days even months, you could put applications in and get a freaking job! brIf you earn $200 in a day or 2, buy a weed eater and triple your money or something lol!
Comment from : @ryanphillips3533

Comment from : @mattszarowicz5049

I knew a guy that made a fortune begging He would walk to his Mercedes, change clothes, take off his dirt makeup and go to his nice house I have a lot of compassion, but donate to charity instead of individuals who seem to have money for iPhones and cigarettes

The negative tone in this piece with nobody going anything wrong is sick Taking a bus to white castle and owning a cell phone is not a life of luxury

Comment from : @guadalupesanchez6010

I live in a small city, and until recently the only panhandlers was a small group of regulars who were known to community and police They were never aggressive and generally tolerated Might see someone 1 or twice a week with signbrbrRecently groups of new people with more aggressive approach and creative pitches This cast of characters seems to change often and covers the prime locations almost continuously brbrMakes me believe it's organized

Comment from : @janetbusener6634

What's wrong with you people? Have you never needed anything like food, water, bathrooms, showers? We need compassion, we need money We need the government to f*b***/b help instead of pocketing all the money You people make me sick, you guys give as much as you can Because over half of these people out here are veterans Shame on you give as much as you can Cause you don't know what it's like to be hungry Nobody to turn to Shame on all of you

Comment from : @DanielPalmer-zq1fx

These people are homeless by design and the money to help them was sent to the Ukraine So we help other countries and leave the citizens here watch Americans tax money go over seas Biden sent over a billion of tax payer money over there as if we didn't need it Screw that
Comment from : @45ricanman

If you're hungry, I've always got food in my car Most beggars reject it because food can't be traded for drugs
Comment from : @jeffw1267

We had the same problem in Chattanooga and they all organized like this and just about all of them do drugs here they haven't offered jobs but they refused to accept

All souls must labor if I go to a place and am asked to leave I will if I dont get asked to leave I can average $30 an hour at some places I don't see what's illegal if someone asks me how I am and I say can u spare any change or help with food, this isn't a crime and to think it is is retarded
Comment from : @caseyskruch5628

I support the right to do this if you're actually in need you should have the right to ask for help but faking it I believe like the bus couple yes should be fraudulent

Comment from : @hobeone1192

It works for me to get by, that's it, I work tho, I'm a Hobo, sometimes I do this to get basic needs met, I can make a few bucks, enough for what I need and than not panhandle after one time, than get kn a train and leaveI'm a different breed of "homeless" these people are what Hobos call: "Homebums" they do not travel, the never leave, usually addicted to something blah blah blah, I am a Hobo, I do Panhandle when I have to to get basic needs met, however its not my main source of income, if I want over a grand, I work at farms

I'm so furious They were there for HOURS in the heat with the kids I hate peoplebrThe people giving them money are apart of the problem

It doesn't contribute to the economy so the rs parasitic as a racket
Comment from : @AnhTuPhucDerrickHoangCanada

She said "she is an amputee but she gets around well" but it's not ethical? How about spending money without paying tides and offering to the community like your christian or Jewish bible tells it's followers? But youI wanna preach your Jesus? Or is manipulation used?

Comment from : @blackberrylady9265

In MY experience onlyif someone says 'God bless you', I KNOW they're a lying sack of sh*tbrThose that claim to be religious, are hate-filled, racist, misogynist, xenophobic, and refuse to help others They could care less about peoplebrThey aren't kind, compassionate, helpful, lovely people, as they should bebrI'm not even religious, and I'm still a better person than they are
Comment from : @danni1993

I have no doubt there are a lot of people that are needy, homeless, whatever, but the ones who actually are not needy make it harder on those with real need I agree 100 you should give your money to organizations that help those people, but do your homework Try to find out how much of the money they take in goes to "administrative cost" and how much goes to the people in need I, myself have seen panhandlers get into nicer cars than I own and drive away Also, I don't care how honest they are being, if they say they need the money for alcohol or drugs, they're not getting a dime from me
Comment from : @1islander52

I gave a pan handler $15 when I was 20 years old I also gave $100 to fake charities who called out of the blue
Comment from : @thomasnguyen6144

I am pretty liberal on most social issues but I never give to panhandlers You don’t know who is for real and who is a scam Don’t want to be ripped off When I see a “homeless” person with a dog, you know that’s a scam because how can they afford the vet bills?? Also I see homeless with an expensive smartphone that I can’t afford myself If they can afford a dog or a smart phone, they don’t need a handout
Comment from : @wildbill7267

They use lookouts They are transported to panhandling sites They shit and piss and dump trash around the panhandling sites They break in surrounding buildings They fight among themselves for ideal sites They leave needles scattered around They do not have constitutional rights allowing them to do the above

I think they're confusing Cooperative behavior with Organized Strategy And it's interesting how certain Partisans can observe Cooperative behavior as unethical

I’m sure most don’t make a ton from it, but I’ve learned to block out panhandlers Some fake it & in general I don’t believe in just handing out money brDon’t be rude to them, but definitely not afraid to say no
Comment from : @malayaanderson8222

Give me a break, no one wants to be homeless Suggesting that it’s a business is insulting
