Listen we feel bad for the drug addicts but do they have to stand around our premier shopping and dining area? I would like to see HPD round them up every morning and put them in a paddy wagon. If they had to walk back every day to our nice street for tourists they might find another place to be high.—Tired of Beggars

they have to stand around our premier shopping and dining area so that they will be seen by a public that doesn’t want to see them… let alone deal with a problem that is eating up this city. I’m not saying that it is ok or that some of them deserve any hand-outs, but they are just trying to be seen and maybe helped.
just walk by, like they aren’;t there, and in truth, most aren’t really there, in their heads. pity the poor dolts who decided to burn out what little brain they had, with chemicals. today’s meth head, tomorrow’s cancer researcher.
Yes, let’s scrub out those less desirable sub-humans so you can pretend they don’t exist. I’m sure we can find a slum to put them in that you can avoid instead of stumbling over them to get to LuLu Lemon.
Panhandlers on SGR are so easy to ignore! They’re always polite to me when I tell them no or ignore them. There was that one guy that yelled at me to give him money but we straightened him out. Seriously, just listen to your ipod and ignore everyone like I do.
I think it makes sense for people begging for money and such to go to a nice area. I don’t think they’d get many handouts in a poor area. I don’t like them either, but to put them in police cars and drive them away for no legal reason is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Being poor or a “meth-head” is not contagious, don’t worry sweetie. Ignore them!
just chuck a quarter between a couple of them and watch em scramble…
it’s definitely worth the quarter.
Telling a mooch to fuck off isn’t hateful or rude. The actual rudeness is being asked by a complete stranger if ‘I have any money’. Like my revenue is anybody else’s business.
I don’t normally go on SGR at 0800, but this morning I had an errand to complete and was disgusted by 3 louts (old fashioned word)who were loudly blasting profanity and lewd comments at girls in Sacred Heart uniforms. Coupled with the phlegm output and smoking, you really did present a lovely sight for tourists.
The final kicker was when you kept stepping on the working guys hose as he tried to hose off the sidewalk, removing butts and trash – too bad he didn’t wash you into the gutter….
Sacred Fart girls – you’d need a fire hose on full blast to wash their pampered little snail trails away. Can’t stand those conceited little bovines.
haha nice one ttfn…their farts would make a big smug cloud
TTFN yours is a pretty broad accusation, not all the people who attend that school fit your rant.
Truth is, my daughter attended that school and does not exhibit any of the traits you and girl of pain mention.
Sometimes “regualr blue collar” families make financial sacrifices to ensure their children get the best possible education available.
