They have stretched out from the Target exit to the traffic light almost right under the interstate on the south side of Siegan.

And people who give those people money are dumb, especially the beggars who are smoking.

If i were an officer, I’m not gonna end up on cell phone camera messing with some road side beggar.

That’s an easy way to end up in some BS over nothing but doing your job

My friend hit one that wandered out into the middle of the road under a dark overpass one night. Ripped his arm off (the junkie’s)



It was pretty fricking metal

They've been under the interestate bridge on Siegen forever, where you been? if you can ever catch a glimpse in the median in between those barricades under the bridge it'll make your stomach turn.

They're also in the woods right off of the Siegen exit if you're coming from the Mall service rd.

O'Neal overpass is getting fricking terrible...cardboard homes, tents, sheets hanging as dividers...not to mention the slew of trash that's just scattered across the entire area

BRPD generally does nothing in all situations, except for those involving drunk white college students, inspection stickers, and posting up at the nearest Benny’s.

The answer to your question is yes.

Well that's the real problem. People are giving to them. Just like feeding a stray cat.

Im surprised they are not fighting over spots to beg.

Some of them might not even be truly homeless. I see people are mentioning how bad O'neil is, I haven't been out that way in awhile, but I recall... anytime I did see them out there it was no more than 1 or 2.

Maybe if you give them enough money they’ll OD and the problem will go away.

They do. Bum fights occur at the College and Corporate Dr intersection by the shady gas station close to Bawell St.

Used to be a Starvin Marvin location. I almost got in a lot of trouble pissing behind their ice freezer on night about 20 years ago.

The same signs are up at Sherwood/I-12 and College/I-10. Doesn’t do any good. The junkies are still out there and dumbasses are still giving them money.
