I saw this happening right by my house and was fortunate to have my camera with me. Apparently they are cracking down on the hobos where I live. Those pants and that haircut are just so ridiculous. Still, it's sad to see that some people really can fall so far.

What is a "paint"?

Those pants remind me of my son's ... and they are ridiculous. Imagine you lost your job and pretty much every material possession you had. How would you feel? Most of these "hobos" are there for a reason (drugs, booze, etc.) but some are actually done and without hope.

Hope for them ...

That's no hobo. His name is Ryker, and he's CIA. He can kill a person with just his pinky. He'll be out of po-po custody before you know it.

That's not a hobo. Hobos ride trains with a stick and a bandanna over their shoulder.

That's a bum. Bums just live on the street.

Women wear pants, men wear trousers...

His shirt looks awfully clean for him to be a homeless person. Are you sure he's not just in a band?

That is a really nice looking hobo...

The ones around here are really dirty and sometimes frothing from the mouth.

this

odd, how so many people confuse the terms...

a hobo is the "noble" sort of bum. Usually very successful people that got sick of the rat race and chose to escape everything, ride the rails and live a different sort of life. They will work for cash.

a bum is just a fucking bum.

I wouldn't know. My "drug dealers" tend to wear white medical clothing and work in pharmacies.

Give me a week or two and I can get some pictures of bums in really bad shape.

No, that would be a "bindle stick". But "bindlestiff" is another term for a hobo. ;)

My son lives in a bedroom upstairs.

Bums can be anywhere ;)
