Gwinnett Bans "Panhandling"

http://www.640wgst.com/cc-common/mainheadlines3.html?feed=122602&article=1530161

Shucks...no more setting up "residences" on public land anymore...what will we do with our free time now. Well, apparently homeless bums have become enough of a problem in Gwinnett County now to force the local government to actually place a ban and restrictions on the homeless bums asking for money so they can buy some Jack Daniels. The best part of this is the last paragraph. If you are "panhandling" and caught for the act, you face a $500 fine. LOL...how are they going to get $500 from someone who is panhandling??? Somebody answer that one for me. I think they just need to make it legal to have "accidents" where you car swerves uncontrollably off the road and you plink the panhandler "on accident".

Bruce, That is the first think that I thought about when I heard this. How are they going to get the fine. Sometimes I think that the law makers really do not think these things through.

Well.. you know how they are going to get the fines? They are going to get them because half of the "homeless" people are not homeless. its a conspiracy. They just act like it. Its like a second job to them. They really live in nice houses and drive nice cars. This is just there second job to get there alcohol money! ha.. crazy fake homeless people.

this has nothing to do with the bums that they are planning to fine.. ha..Ok so i am doing my clippings file for my political systems class which is where we have to get all these damn newspaper articles and blah blah.. but anyways.. im reading one of them and the lady was saying how voting is a right. then she said that she always has people write her and say that voting is a privelege, not a right. and she is like "no it is not a privelege".. what do u think..

Ahhh...Megan you raise a fine point that I must address in a new posting. Do we have the right or privalege to vote? That is the question. See the home page for the post.
