You want to keep someone who is immoral and unethical, and puts same into practice, out of jail or other suitable punishment?
Conservatism is about the spirit of the law more than the letter, FWICS; that is why the Founding Fathers said that religion and morality more than written law is what the country needs to stand on. Leftists are all about the letter of the law, and how that can be bent to manipulation of the populace for the elites’ gain.
What exactly is “legitimate” panhandling?
Don't be a sucker and don't be manipulated.
BTW - "Elites" is liberal code word for successful, hard-working capitalist.
Leftist are all about the law ...I guess that is why Obama & Holder just ignore the ones they don't like.
