Just saw on the news-panhandling

[Gunner]

So the ACLU says that banning panhandling would be unconstitutional. Join the club. Maybe I should start begging

[zteknik]

Thats because most of them have a bammaphone.....

[Gunner]

I'm so sick of low life's wanting shit for free. I think that's why I hate Pueblo. Bunch of trash down here. I had a lady ask me if we offered a discount for welfare people as she got a $300 phone.... Piss off

One of the main reasons for me leaving New York.
Nuthin like seeing the unemployed going to cash their welfare checks in a brand new bimmer[Bang]

Saw a guy near my work the other day with a sign. "Need money for vodka and cigarettes."

At least he was honest...Most of them give some seriously lame excuses,and then spend it on vodka and cig's anyway...

[Gunner]

I kept seeing a guy at the gas station by my work every day for about a week with a sign saying "need gas money"

[sroz]

If we can't ban them, can we tax them?

[Gunner]

I like that idea! Why should they get tax free income

My favorite was a young low life that had a sign that said, " Aliens kidnapped my goldfish. Need money for ransom" along with a funny little alien drawing.

He made me laugh so I gave him a dollar. That doesn't happen often.....

I've been keeping an eye out for him. I see him again, and he will receive a half pint.

He's not panhandleing he's offering a service for money. Made you laugh you pay a dollar. At least there is no 2 drink minimum for his jokes.

Flagging on the corner may constitute an eyesore, but it is free speech. When they cross the line is when they: run at you, crowd you, corner you, put their hands on you, yell profanity, approach after dark, approach near an ATM, follow closely behind you after being asked to leave. I've seen a lot of aggressive panhandling at gas stations, post offices, and laundromats that pretty much constituted assault.

Well, do you? I may need to know where the good deals are after a few more years of Obama!

I saw one that said, "I'll bet you a dollar that you'll read this sign." I thought it was clever so I gave him a dollar, which is rare for me. I regularly donate to Denver Rescue Mission because they make sure the homeless eat and they are willing to accept lots of different styles of donations. You can just visit their website and see what they are asking for. That way you know people are being helped and the money isn't going to vodka and cigs.

free speech only works during the day?

[Clint45]

free speech only works during the day?

Illegal to panhandle after dark in Denver. "Aggressive panhandling" statute that also forbids panhandling near banks and ATMs. It is rarely enforced.
