Not me but more power to you.When I see the panhandlers on the corner I most always hand them some cash. $5 to $10 bucks. I figure majority of them are there because they are down and out. I used to not do this because I figured they were just drunks, druggies, lazy, bums, con artist but I’ve changed my opinion. I’ll give them some help. Cash & a bottle of water. It would suck to have to stand on a busy corner and ask for help. I’ve tried to stop judging and start helping. I can’t control what they do with the little but I give but who am I to judge. What if they really need the help? That’s enough for me.

While I'm sure that does happen most the bridge trolls I see are truly human waste that has yet to be flushed. If you can't tell a junkie/crackhead on site you are a luck person.And when they finish their gig for the day and walk around the corner to get in their new Cadillac??? Happens more than you realize.
