Fake Homeless Woman Exposed

[Gasser64]

You do know that FD only does Fill the Boot for the MDA right? We are out there on our own time, standing on the corner, in the heat for charity. The dept doesn't see a dime of that money.

Don't you want to donate to the policeman's ball? I get some kind of card in the mail every few months asking for some kind of donation to the cops. That'll be the day. Everything they need should come from city taxes.

On topic, in my day a good manager would come run these people off or call the cops. I've seen this once or twice, and the manager would say they were "running off his customers".

Yep, and not sure that it matters. Like you said, it's your call, which means I don't have to care, like it, agree with it, or give a damn what it supports. It is still tantamount to panhandling, however you'd like to wrap it up. I understand that the laws have been changed in municipalities in their favor. My problem is the fuckery it pulls on traffic. Glad you're helping, but stick to private property.

I was going to reply to your idiocy and ignorance, but another firefighter beat me to it.

Feel free. I'm pretty pro-FD, but the standing around and passing the boot slows the traffic flow and as I stated is just panhandling, albeit looked upon favorably.

I'm guessing you guys took it out of context. I took it as a joke that Sean couldn't panhandle and not has a jab towards police and firefighters. Just my two cents.

Nope. It annoys me to no end. If you or I were to do it, we'd be ticketed and fined, hell, maybe jailed depending on what cunt we have to deal with. They should stick to private property.

If the city owns the streets/medians, and we are city employees, would we not be on private property?

if you are doing it on your "own time" as you proclaim, then no.

There are volunteers that go out, but it's mainly on duty crews rotating through certain times.

[01yz2nv]

It doesn't really matter anyways, we are straying from the op's topic. No matter what we think is right or wrong the decision for us to go out there is way above my pay-grade, and the way you and I think about it isn't really gonna change things anyways. So no point in getting butt hurt over it.

We the people own the streets

[AnthonyS]

didn't Texas outlaw panhandling back in 2009 or was it just Dallas?

Zero enforcement. Now don't bike in Dallas without a helmet if you are white though.

Is this sarcasm? It's public, and the city doesn't "own" it.

We the people own the streets

Apparently not...

You would have a lot less cops and firemen getting DWI's.

No the city owns the streets, we all just have public access. Go destroy the street or signs and see what your ticket says. Destruction of city property.

I beg to differ, firing a first responder for dwi is a whole lot cheaper than potential lawsuits and liability if they were to look the other way. Trust me, big city's do not have your back.

[Sean88gt]

No the city owns the streets, we all just have public access. Go destroy the street or signs and see what your ticket says. Descruction of city property.

Yes, and therefore the taxpayer owns the city.

And Descruction?

[01yz2nv]

Yes, and therefore the taxpayer owns the city.

Phone, I had already corrected as you were replying.
