Anyone know what organization or cause these guys with high visibility vests and buckets are panhandling for? Someone once told me these guys travel from area to area doing this shite for living

No clue about their cause, but they can definitely get belligerent with you. I’ve seen some touch windshields and the roof of your car.

That’s the Sheriff’s Dept doing Inspection Sticker and Insurance Checks.

Give what they want and no one gets hurt.

I keep the pistol in my cup holder in plain sight, they never approach too closely, and if they do they back up quickly

ETA: Aw I got a downvote. Cher' bebe'

Empty a bucket of pennies onto the ground next to them. "Whoops! I'm so clumsy"

They ought to be arrested if they touch a vehicle. I've seen them knock on windows multiple times to force someone to interact with them. That kind of shite is too far.

Touching a car is going to get one of them hurt at some point. A big ole baw with a gun will not tolerate that.

there's usually one hobo fight a week at the Cats pick up bench cover at College/Corporate. It's a very coveted location

I always roll up my window when I see them at the intersection with the buckets. I don’t see why this is allowed. Get out the road

I don’t think it’s allowed, I just think the cops are too busy responding to burglary and gun shot calls elsewhere in the city.

They are terrible on Bluebonnet too. At I-10, Jefferson and Airline.

There was this old black man there for months that would walk between the two lanes heading towards Airline and when the light turned green traffic would have to stop to let him back over to the roadside.

I just figure they collect money to finance their casino habits.
