Sick of panhandlers and beggars.

Had to deal with 6 today. I've never had that many in one day. Encountered two while going to work, one on the way out to lunch, two on the way back home, and one on the way to a convenience store.

One on the way back was extremely aggressive too. My typical response is to always blow them off and not acknowledge them, and I'm usually wearing my ear pods in my ear and listening to music while commuting. But that aggressive one followed me for like 15 feet down the side walk saying "EXCUSE ME!" with some type of entitled tone.

Needs to be criminalized. No one working individual should have to be subjected to this.

Should be considered a public safety or national security issue.

I made the stupid mistake in undergrad at LSU of giving a few bucks to some scumbag off Highland while pumping my gas. He said it was for food. MFer walked out the store minutes later with a 40oz in his hand. Never again.

If they're desperate for work, there are plenty of employers here in NYC who would love to pay them cash for odd jobs and such, which is how a lot of the illegal aliens here make their way.

I outlined a measure before how to make NYC go red again by criminalizing panhandling and Jorts replied with:
