Sounds like you enjoy being harassed for money by homeless addicts.


I’ve gotten really good at telling people no. Takes one second. And no one has to go to jail.



True story I watched go down while walking into Walmart one day: One guy tried to tell a vagrant he didn't have money but the vagrant still followed him to his truck and threatened him to give him change or else.

The guy was a pussy about it and gave in. Even after giving the vagrant $5 he said that wasn't enough and demanded $20. I am sure you would have done the same.

Me, I have a temper so for better or worse I would have whipped out the t-ball bat I keep behind my driver's seat. My wife is a chicken and thinks I will get shot or stabbed one day not backing down to people.

You followed them to the truck too and watched all of this go down? They didn’t give you any weird looks?

So you are saying an article against the bill is very vague about the actual bill?

You can google the bill you know?


It's House Bill 211



Or they could link the bill or they can answer questions like you just did. I was just asking questions that were not in the post OR in the linked website.

And now I see they edited the OP from when I started reading it.

As long as the people recieving the handouts are allowed to vote, it will never improve

I know you are trying to downplay it because it doesn't help your stupid arse narrative but I will play along

I was walking into the store and watched it go down. The guy was parked at the front of the store.

The lady who was walking in at the same time as me and saw it too told Walmart security, and they went out and ran the guy off.

Since then, Walmart pays for 24/7 LCPD to patrol the parking lot.

The other Walmart stores here do not have to pay for 24/7 patrols because they aren't dealing with vagrants living around the area, harassing innocent people.

Yay! Sober living homes coming to a neighborhood near you and not a damn thing you can do about it.

I guess I’m having a hard time understanding the level of pussy required to get bent out of shape by someone asking you for money.

Does anyone actually believe that 4cubbies rides a bicycle? Also I hope this helps. It is down right pathetic that BR had to put up barriers to keep homeless people out from under the interstates.

They should be this strict with panhandlers as well.

I used to to get hit up for money multiple times a day, every day (look at my screen name!) You just learn to say no. You don’t have to grab your t-ball bat to scare them away!

Seeing people on the left promote homelessness is interesting.

I for one think we need less homelessness

True, but at least if they’re in jail, they’re not harassing me on the street.

Someone follows you to your truck, threatening you for money, and you would just stand there and take it.

Makes sense considering you are a bitch

I think it's very reasonable for a woman to feel threatened in that situation. It's just a matter of time until one would be assaulted.

This probably never crossed your mind.

Follow Los Angeles Mayor candidate Spencer Pratt on Twitter and listen his Joe Rogan podcast. The vast majority of these people choose to be homeless zombies. If anyone truly wants help there are so many avenues. Most just want to do drugs and live without accountability. Jail or Involuntary treatment is the way.

Much of the screaming about homeless funding is people who are on the take and profit from the homeless industry.

Yesterday afternoon I got waived down by a woman grocery store parking lot. I pulled up to her and rolled down my window in case she was in distress. She was not…she asked for money. I said, “No, have a good day,” rolled up my window and drove off. Didn’t give it a second thought. As normal people do.

You are at a level of comfort with trash that many of us are not. Congrats. No one likes to be followed at a gas stations or store to our vehicle while being asked for money or cigarettes or gas.

The slow decay of society and acceptance of trash, property damage and theft by the Left is amazing. It was the plan all along by the communist to destroy the western way of society which was a High Trust Society.

Louisiana is basically a welfare state with a ton of handouts.
Generally, you get what you pay for, but Louisiana collects $28 a year more per capita than Texas gets in state and local taxes, plus Louisiana collects 78% MORE in federal tax dollars returned to the state (per capita) than Texas receives, yet...., Texas has figured out how to spend wisely, have nice roads, institute tort reform, good schools and make delicious BBQ. Overall, fantastic schools in comparison to Louisiana, well cared for roads that generally are put down correctly the first time by digging them out and laying deep, structural bases. I travel on Texas highways that were put down long before I was born and they still look damn good without any work on them. It's like all those Aggie engineers actually graduate knowing how to build things right. Maybe LSU's engineering program should learn from Texas?
