I travel twice a week to Lexington for work and I see the same people in the same exit, especially the black dude who sits where v you turn from N. Broadway to 1-75. I once saw him take food a nice lady had went and gotten him and he threw it on the ground.Driving around Lexington it never fails. The same intersections in the same group of guys it seems work the corners.
Was this right by the Cowboys bar? I think I saw the same guy doing Kung Fu moves against some imaginary person.I travel twice a week to Lexington for work and I see the same people in the same exit, especially the black dude who sits where v you turn from N.

Although one time I saw a methed out dude argue with grass for 45 minutes. Like full throated screaming, then they (made up). He hugged the grass. Man I couldn't help but laugh the whole time, especially when he was accusing grass of cheating on him. I feel bad for laughing cause America is one big mental crisis but even the most stone faced person would've laughed. This was on Russell Cave.

It’s actually not though - if no one gave them a dime how many of them would actually have to get a real job - the media really does a disservice sharing that these people can get 100k sitting on a corner a few hours a day. I understand there will always be beggars that would appreciate the money/food provided but flushing out these others would be ideal.This is a terrible thing to think about, but I sometimes wonder if by tolerating this stuff for the bottom 1% we've now ended up with a bottom 3% who are in a similar situation? What I mean is, by supporting these people we've made others see a survivable path here.
You want to touch the guys?When I tended at Pazzos homeless would come in all the time. I would walk them to McDonald’s (when I was broke as touch) and offer to buy them anything they wanted. By the time we got there (2 minutes later) they didn’t want anything food wise. Touch those guys. Die on the streets losers.
You want to f**k those guys? I mean whatever floats your boat I suppose.Yes, I want to touch homeless people. Learn the internet nerd. Touch is internet for f**k, is 2023 hard for you?
Man I’ve wanted to f**k some panhandlers for a loooooooong time, have you not? I mean, what’s to lose? Not like they’re talking you to court. Safer than a college girl probably….You want to f**k those guys? I mean whatever floats your boat I suppose.
Lockdown central for LexMy kid is in a school program at Winburn...so you know I've seen some shit. There's a crazy fat redneck (sort of out of place) that sits with a sign warning of the end of time. I sort of like him. He doesn't want a damn thing other than to let you know it's all ending soon.

Don’t sweat it man… The fentanyl producers in China have children to feed.I might have been swindled out of a few bucks today at the cross over on Harrodsburg Road and New Circle. I immediately thought of this thread as soon as the dollars were leaving my hand.
Could've been a half spent cig he found on the ground, ala Roger Miller. Or someone could've given him one/some. Maybe not but who knows?Today at the corner of MOW and Polo there was a guy standing there with a homeless sign and a cig in his mouth. If I was in that bad a shape, I would go cold turkey on something that cost $5-$10 a pack.
Not giving him crap.
I’m thinking about going into panhandling as a second job - any suggestions on outfits? Witty signs that might bring more revenue?
I think the signs admitting to wanting money for impure purposes can actually increase your cash flow if done correctly.I’m thinking about going into panhandling as a second job - any suggestions on outfits? Witty signs that might bring more revenue?
Yeah but they had nicer suitsAre we counting the likes of Pat Robertson, Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen, and the rest of those scumbags as panhandlers? Or would they be considered just straight up conmen?
I make it a policy to NEVER turn down someone hungry or needing clothing.I guess it's a good thing that panhandlers are just scamming and not really hungry.
If they really were, they would do far worse that just be an annoyance.
People gonna eat.
