Ever day i pack a lunch for a schizophrenic homeless old man who forages for for food in the trash cans by where i work. He does not panhandle, in fact it took a couple of tries over a few days to get him to accept the offerings.
I would do the same in that instance but I guess I couldn’t if I lived in that paradise of NYC.
In NYC I would give them a map to Gracie Mansion so they could go enmasse and panhandle Mr. Mayor in person and to his embarassment.
Of course, he wouldn’t give them the same respect he gave to the OWSers; would probably have the boys in blue run them out with tear gas and the mounted horse patrols.
