First, the...Oooh, this fries me on several points.<br /><br />First, the donation to the Salvation Army makes them look kind, while the severe drop in donations panhandlers get because "they make more than me" response of those who hear of this story. Which actually makes them pretty mean.<br /><br />The panhandling was done during the start of a new ban on such practice, so competition was probably very low. And who/what/location the panhandler's effort counts too. <br /><br />A dirty black guy with an empty coffee cup as shown in the beginning of their video ain't getting $80. A woman with "Need money to feed my daughter" along a busy road is what their actual panhandler was.<br /><br />For comparison, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrRIU8m6K0Y&feature=plcp" rel="nofollow">here's a one-armed black guy in Chicago being interviewed who's only got a quarter so far that day</a>. (And check out a couple more videos by Invisible People, its great stuff.)<br />Dave J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07609190926881847256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-75028186141380344902012-11-27T23:28:34.398-06:002012-11-27T23:28:34.398-06:00o.k. cut it in half and it's still as much as...o.k. cut it in half and it's still as much as a teacher's income.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-84892938473842075762012-11-27T21:41:16.133-06:002012-11-27T21:41:16.133-06:00Great link, bulletholes...Great link, bulletholes...Janhttp://cascadeexposures.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-6051580382720379442012-11-27T19:17:26.518-06:002012-11-27T19:17:26.518-06:00On a bit of a tangent, but there is an article fro...On a bit of a tangent, but there is an article from Pentagram papers about the signs that panhandlers carry.
