Theyre holy terrors.
Bands of beggars dressed like Buddhist monks have invaded the High Line and other city parks, demanding upwards of $40 from tourists and officials are fed up.
One High Line visitor handed over $5 last week, but it wasnt good enough. He tried to get $20, she told The Post.
Another monks zen demeanor dissolved after he got just a buck in exchange for the cheap plastic bracelet he proffered.

A moonie wanted to give me a book. I thanked him and started to walk off. He asked for a donation. I declined. He wanted the book back. I reminded him that he "gave" it to me. He snatched the book out of my hands and said, "Nobody gives things away."
I called the cops and he took off.

Well, as long as THEY believe they’re buddhist monks, who’s to question that?

I first encountered them 2 years ago on Broadway in the 20s. I think the con goes like this: a little saffron robed figure approaches you and presents you with a pad and pencil to write your name so he can pray for you and while you consider your situation he slips a cheap bracelet on you wrist. Now, having realized your mistake you thank him and hand back the pad and pencil only then are you asked for a donation.

Another monks zen demeanor dissolved after he got just a buck in exchange for the cheap plastic bracelet he proffered. He probably wanted all of Manhattan.

At some point when communist insanity and chaos has ruled long enough New Yorkers should be missing Giuliani.
Then again common sense has been so diluted across the entire American political spectrum he may never be missed.

Pull out your wasp or deep woods spray. Give them a few seconds to clear out or else.
