“In general, homeless people are batshit crazy. Interacting with them in any way is dangerous, especially for the weak and elderly.”

Yeah, I know a guy who took a homeless person in. Homeless guy got mad and burned the normal guy’s house to the ground.

RE: The homeless panhandlers of the past are not the same now....


The surrealistic movie about Bob Dylan’s life I’m Not There has a part where he as a young boy trying to imitate Woody Guthrie, hops on a freight car with rough hoboes who end up beating him, throwing him off the moving train and leaving him for dead drowning in a river.

Hobo:We of the Pullman side-car
and the sunburned thumb.
It’s lonesome roads we shall walk.

Young Bob Dylan (”Woody”): Till I joined the Union cause!

Older Hobo: Don’t he know it’s 1959?
We done unionized 20 years ago.

Self help speaker Tony Robbins said he used to rush through the airport and noticed this one panhandler and went over and cheerfully gave him $20, then the next time another $20 and so on through the weeks when he took planes to speaking engagements.

One day he was completely up to the last minute to get to his plane and had no cash on him at all. The guy watched for his handout. “Sorry, I really have no cash today. I’ll catch you next time. Honestly, sorry.”
The guy started yelling and swearing and calling him every spiteful name he could think of until Robbins was finally out of earshot.

Where the hell do these wastrels come from? How has our nation produced a bumper crop of them?

They destroyed the Christian foundation of the nation. That’s how.

“A homeless man will spent six years in prison”

There is an absolutely glaring error in that sentence. How could it get past their editors?

There are plenty of shelters and other help for truly needful people who are sincerely trying to get back on their feet, especially in cities of any size.
