Squeegee Attack - they are back on the street - should we do anything, can we do any

[ogibowt]

Twotinytestes doesn't debate.... he posts his worthless ill informed opiniion & blindly/stupidly attacks when any response other than TOTAL agreement is offered him....

Just another clueless Ivory Tower pushing unconditional tolerance faggotry while at the same time being intolerant of anything else....

i will debate you...but only when you can type a coherent sentence...

ok then i,ll be polite ...please consider changing you frame of reference of comparing a human being to a pigeon...............

Ok, fine. Time square was once an unsavoury place which was not particularly safe to go to and certainly not somewhere one would feel safe taking their family.
A mayor came in and drove away the unsavoury elements and now it's a popular destination for tourists.

I have no issue with helping people when they are down, but I don't believe these people you see on the street are genuine, down on their luck people. They are career beggars often with drug or alcohol issues. Giving them money is actually harming them rather than helping them. As has been pointed out in this thread they are sometimes intimidating and they do seem to prey more on female drivers. I have no problem believing that some, if not many of their "donations" are given out of fear rather than empathy. Making it illegal to give to them would empower those people to actually say no.

As I previously said, I'm all for helping people when they are down. If these people are geniune there there's plenty of organizations they can turn to and get them on their feet. Donate your money to them and the money will go much further and be more productive. Giving these individuals money will not help them.

You have no other option.

First productive suggestion/opinion of this thread.

Now FUCK OFF and leave us to our fantasies of being hero's and beating homeless bears with shovels!

Or us hoping that we can win the affections of cute goth gals panhandling to us.

This has probably been said already. But putting them in jail would be like Club Med to them. A roof over their heads and meal to keep them full for free and we get the bill.

 

[james t kirk]

Au contraire!

To a great degree, many of these squeegee "kids" have an anarchist non-conformist streak in them. That's why they don't seek conventional emplyment, they hate rules.

Putting them in jail where there are rules would soooooo piss them off!
