Heard something interesting last night about panhandlers - anonny

Posted: Dec 15th, 2016 - 10:56 am

I am only bringing this up because there was a recent discussion on here about an MT apparently panhandling for a day as an "experiment." I was listening to a talk radio program last night that is based out of San Antonio and one of the subjects that came up was the amount of panhandling and how the panhandlers approach people in the Dallas Fort Worth area. They stated that these panhandlers on average are making around $70/hour per day from "donations" they receive. Apparently as well, they are really becoming traffic hazards and there has been a recent law passed that ANYONE seen or caught giving money to a panhandler will be arrested on a misdemeanor charge. Both the host and co-host of course felt that it should be the panhandlers that should be arrested for causing a disruption. They also went on to say that most of these panhandlers are picked up in a van and then dropped off at various locations to do their panhandling, then picked up at the end of the day where they drive off in their nice cars!
