They should be free to use the sidewalk just as anyone else, do you have a right to infringe upon the natural rights of another human being simply because you distrust their need and whether or not it is genuine? you think you should prohibit other human beings from simply speaking in asking others peacefully for help? ... hmmm...strange.
if you ever find yourself down on your luck, perhaps you might change your tune ;)
Lol I guess but all the panhandlers here are people who have stolen from my store,have houses and or dont need to. Well I agree with the sidewalk mostly but for example on Tuesday usually the sidewalk going down to the grocery store there are at least 8 people there begging for no reason and customers see that as it lowers the value of the store and leave to other stores. There are enough shelters and the food bank here said there is enough food to feed 4x the people that come in.The actual homeless people I help out all the time even though they dont panhandle like for example the expired food I double bag and leave to the right for them
