empathy, or the perception of reinforcing their self belief that they are empathetic
it often just reinforces the wrong thing, however, via enabling self-destructive behavior

WTF is wrong with these young people? Get a effin JOB. What makes them think that on MY way to work I want to pay for their living?
Because people like you who give/gave them the benefit of the doubt pay them nicely to do nothing.

This ended up being a very informative thread about a real problem in New Orleans
I say we either poison them or move them to an island with garden tools and seeds. Maybe a few goats and cows.

Seriously...
How does a Gutter Punk/Travelling Kid spend $10,000 in two weeks? Do you think it was all on booze and drugs? That fricker would be in the morgue.
I don't give them a nickel, but...
I have a BIL who is from a very conservative upstate SC family. He's from Strom Thurman's neck of the woods. He's lived in SF and NYC, and frequently gives to bums. I asked him why and his response was, "I know most are probably scamming, but a couple might be legit and five or ten bucks to them means a whole lot more than it does to me."
He is without a doubt one of the nicest, friendliest, personable, considerate, hard working and - believe it or not - intelligent people I've ever met. If the world was only populated with people like my BIL, everything would be alright.

If no one gave them money, they wouldn't be begging there everyday.

The kid was in to some big time drugs and was paying for his friend's drugs too. His dad also said there were multiple charges from some strip clubs and some $500+ bar tabs.

Won't you be begging for your medicare and social security? I hope it tanks before retirement.

Don't see the problem, they add culture to the city.

That was a little better in your head I guess.
