Uh, is there any reason in particular why everyone has decided to flame Jerboy for a relatively harmless post?

In all the threads I have seen where everyone bashes Jerboy from the start, I always tried to give you a chance, but you acted just plain a$$inine in your encounter.

Ofcourse I did. It was just a transient I was dealing with.

Like everyone has said the easiest thing to do would be to say "no thanks". Honestly WTH were you expecting asking for a receipt?

It was simply another way of saying, "you're a thief, nice try selling stolen goods"

And if you have such a hang up about giving people who are down money then do what I do, buy them a frikken meal

Not my responsibility.

and talk to them.

I would only talk to them if I had to for a research project or something.

They are people for chrissakes.

Ofcourse they're homosapiens. They eat, sleep and sh*t... ok..

Don't automatically assume that everyone of them is abusing the system and getting welfare and begging so they can drink expensive whiskey all day and night just because you heard a story.

I didn't say these transients were abusing the welfare system, but it's clear to me that they had alcoholic beverage on posession and was begging.

Take care of yourself and mind your own businesss

It is my business when these transients get on my nerve and threatens the safety of my property.

and take 911 off of your speedial
HAHAHA hell no. I don't have 911 on speed dial. Transients aren't worth the urgency given on 911 responses. The only reasons I'd call 911 involving transients are if someone's property or someone else's life is in immediate danger because of them, fights involving transients resulting in injuries to non-transients and whenever someone is hurt as a result of transient's action. If transient jay walks in front of a car, gets hit and driver swerves into a utility pole, I need to make sure the driver is alright, make sure power line isn't downed and call 911 to summon rescue for the driver, then call the power company to report a downed power line, which present hazard.

I never see many bums EXCEPT downtown when I go to the clubs, and then I just give them 50 cents, its nothing to me and gets them out of my hair. Even then that's rare. Otherwise who cares?

When I go downtown at night for clubs and you walk around little islands surrounded by streets, there are transients everywhere. Also, the main road of downtown has homeless help place, so bums fills up the whole sidewalk. Very stinky. The place happens to be right above the bridge. Below the bridge is a train station.

You made it one step succssful in transient's begging by giving him cash. My friend and I did the opposite. Got his day trashed by calling the police on him :D:D:D:D:D
