Just stop. Your poor choice of giving this bum money keeps him and his ilk in business. If his "business model" is unsustainable, ie the money from suckers dries up, they will leave for greener pastures.

If your heart still bleeds, volunteer to take him into your home and find a job for him until he gets on his feet.

Report back on how that works out for you.

"I give him a dollar or two if I have it." Wake up, man!

Is this exclusive to being homeless?

Being homeless in Louisiana is such a bad place to be homeless. Ship them 70 degree weather in LA. Everyone wins

Yes. They also contribute to the already horrendous traffic issues we are plagued with. Bums walking into traffic to grab a dollar from The Dumb are an issue in this town.

Stop doing this. Funding a drug addict's next fix doesn't make you a better person.

I did the right thing feeding that stray cat twice a day but he just won’t go away!

Those assholes in the outer turn lane getting on to I-10W trying to give bums money once the already short green arrow cycle starts should be strung up from that overpass.

please stop giving the drug addict grifters money. They buy booze and drugs with them -99% of the time


Saw a guy begging at the light by Olive Garden on Seigen the other day. Looked about 30. Some dude in a SUV behind me gave him a $20 bill. I couldn't believe it

I'm just saying if you are going to be homeless, California is the place to be. Better weather, lots of woke suckers, ample narcotics. Hell, you can squat in a Beverly Hills mansion.

I don’t really see the incentive for the bum unless he just has been really trying to get to another town and hasn’t been able to get there.

I think a better idea would be to arrest/house them until you have about 50 people, put them on a school bus, and then drive the bus all the way up to North Dakota.

"We're here. Get out. Good luck."

Do this every week. Just keep processing processing processing. Once the word gets out, you'd never see another begger in St George again. They'd all just fight over the College or Acadian exits where they're supposed to be, and God's country would remain pristine.

I love how politicians think the best idea is to just send them to other cities.

I find this hard to believe as that place is full of kids Mon-Fri. Maybe they did this during the summer? Can’t imagine them doing it now that schools back in.

I take it you're not a big fan of the original Beverly Hillbillies comedy TV series?

You can still find episodes on at least one of the streaming services. It's much better than the crap the networks try to pass off as comedy on TV now.

PS- My first quote were some of the lyrics from the BH theme song.
