They are everywhere. You can’t shop, can’t stop at an intersection, and can’t pump gas without having a sign shoved in your face and a “come on bro not even a couple bucks.” The problem has exploded in the last year.

Time to have BRPD round them up and ship their asses to San Fransico.

Baton Rouge is in general a horrible city, but these losers are making just doing anything in town a huge pain in the arse

It's a free speech issue. You can't outlaw begging.

They aren't a problem for NBR so it's not going to be addressed.

They have the freedom to confront people and lie about their situation to have someone give them money under false pretenses?

I call this “polite mugging” as they often approach you and make you feel so uncomfortable that you essentially are paying them to go away.

The dipshits giving them money are almost as worse as the beggars themselves.

If people would stop giving them money, they'd go away on their own.

so what's your solution? they can swindle some folks out of money or we can arrest them/shelter them with taxpayer money coerced from us by the government under threat of violence.

I hate getting off I10 at College lately because there's always a begger. I saw one there at 1AM recently holding a sign. That light takes forever to get a left turn arrow so its even worse.

Everyone should just stop giving them money. They are there because it works.

ETA: if you just have to help give to a food bank or something like that.

I would think they wouldn’t have the proper permits to conduct their business on public property.
