The one that irks me is the AAU basketball team (look to be in the 15-18 year old range) thats panhandling at Manhattan and Lapalco at least 2-3 days a week


The chances that they are a real AAU team are slim to none. They got kids in BR collecting for football uniforms in the middle of the day..... when school is in.

These stupid frickers will get on airline/highland intersection and walk that shite. They have some cards they try to show you. frick these people.

Now they have a run of them at the highland offramp. I don’t give them the time of day.

We have them pretty close to my house. I wish they'd go be poor somewhere else.

Somethings happened in BR the last few months. U rarely saw beggars on surface streets except maybe corporate/college area

Now every somewhat major intersection has them. Even jones creek/coursey


I had some fricking Dreamer knock on my window at College/Perkins the other day. Gave his arse the bird.

Broome would get huge praise from me if she toughened the laws on that shite. Get busted panhandling? Automatic $1000 fine. Can't pay it? Sit in jail for the rest of your life. frick you.

I rolled down my window one day and she thought I was going to dole out my cash to her. I told her she has been pregnant longer than an elephant that has a close to 2 year gestation period.

She was not amused, but I didn't really give a frick.

My answer:

Southshore is full. We have them on every major intersection.

If they want to do a decent business, have to move to the northshore.

O-T Answer:

Even the beggers are afraid of getting shot on the southshore

You sure those aren't the kids collecting money to go to their travel ball "world series"?

Slidell is just an extension of New Orleans East now. It's a different world than west St Tammany

It was only a mater of time. Slidell has the intersection of 3 interstates and it's something of a minor population center near a big population center.

I agree its over the top they hang out under the trees at the service road and before the Racetrac was remodeled, they would hang out on the side by the trees as well and hit you up as you went in

Almost everytime there is a panhandler at an intersection there is always one sdipshit giving them money.

Even to perfectly healthy male beggars. It's idiotic.

Stop giving free money out and they'll disappear.

ACLU of Louisiana article called, "Case Closed: Slidell’s Unconstitutional Panhandling Ordinance Costs City $25,000"

Panhandling at busy intersections should be illegal and strictly enforced.

If the ACLU makes any trouble, arrest them too for obstructing justice.
