Vanity-The entitlement class is getting on my nerves.
FR | 08/29/13 | Me

Posted on 08/29/2013 8:50:43 AM PDT by barmag25

The entitlement class is starting to get a little pushy and the cash cow they are leaching off of is starting to get ticked off.

I'm sitting outside the Oakland international airport and a guy walks up asking for money. ( I don't give anything to people who ask, only those who don't) This isn't the first time somebody has asked me for a handout and probably won't be the last.

I didn't have anything on me anyway. I replied to the guy that I didn't have any cash on me. Sorry I couldn't help him. He looks at me and says there's an ATM right inside the door and stood there expecting me to jump up and run and get him a twenty.

What nerve and sense of undeserved entitlement.

I wouldn't post a vanity over a odd Occurrence as this one but between San Francisco and Oakland the past 3 days this is the 4th time someone has asked me or somebody around me to go to the bank and get them money.

Needless to say I didn't go get him any Obama money.

Expect to see a lot more of this.

I believe there is a more basic underlying problem that must be fixed first.

Basic sales. You gave him an objection to work to overcome.

A head shake, “Sorry”, and slight, defensive lifting and shaking of your hands should do it.

Why trust a thief to return your money?

As I said in post #28, I don’t expect it will be. But when I know a thief already has my money, I try to get it back.

True enough, sorry if I implied you did. It's nice to see that there are people wise enough to do like you and not plan on being dependent on the government.

A valid sentiment, but remember. The thieves already spent our money. He has to steal some else to pay you back. That's the crux of the dilemma.

“Did you know that technically he could have had you arrested for making a threat with a gun?”

No, I didn’t... What is the offense? consider, too, he threatened me.

Mutual combat is irrelevant. If a cop saw you say that, and decided he didn’t like the cut of your jib, he would have hauled you off saying the hobo’s threat was not credible but yours was. If you didn’t like it and jump fast enough, it’s Disorderly Conduct for you in addition to the assault. There would be no concern if there was no chance charges would be filed, they don’t care. I’ve heard cops brag on FR about how they’d arrest people for “Disorderly Conduct” for the sheer fun of it, to humiliate them in public.

Society has gone to Hell, quite a long while ago.

Ah... Here it is. In Louisiana it’s called disturbing the peace.

I don’t think my defensive comment would meet the elements of offense.

But I do hear you on the corrupt state of police officers who ruin it for all law enforcement officers.

I see nothing wrong with your comment, and I’d have said the exact same thing. After making sure there weren’t any cops within earshot. If there weren’t any within eyeshot, either, I probably would have shown the bum what a 9mm Ruger looks like.

And in Louisiana you would have been within your right to do so. And if I saw you do that I would applaud you.

If anything, the drunken bum met the elements of the offense... But if I notified an NOPD officer, he probably would say “Not Our Problem, Dude.” high rates of reported crime is bad for tourism, you know.

I’m pretty sure I’m within my right here in AZ as well. And I wouldn’t bug the Police about the incident either. Besides, how the heck is a bum going to find out where you live anyway?

But it disturbs me to hear these stories of aggressive panhandling getting worse. “No cash? I can wait for you to go the ATM.” Really?? That conversation sounds more like a robbery than panhandling.

Problem is this happened in my neighborhood. I lived in the Marigny next to the French Quarter, and I worked there, too ... so he might have fulfilled his threat to drop by. he would have received an appropriate welcome.

The area has its regular group of derelicts.

Thanks, A_Freeman! I, very seriously, hear this a lot and I was/am beginning to wonder what the lexicon truly means. Always good to follow you here.

Thanks for everybody’s participation in this thread. Actually turned out to be a pretty good one.

I anybody is wondering I made it home safely from the people’s republic of kalifornistan.

I am now safely back at the ‘compound’ in the North Georgia mountains.

Hitler was very good at changing the definition of words as well. It confuses the opposition.

Kind of like "Kinetic Military Action" instead of "invading a country without Congressional approval".
