Nearly everday I drive by the homeless under the Connector on 16th Street and was planning to drop by pizzas sometime. Anom guy is not allowed to have a slice if / when I do this. The rest of you are very welcome. I’ve never been aggressively bothered by them…I am concerned about the increase in transients for a number of reasons, but as of yet I am not concerned with my health or my family’s.

People are living in the Walmart parking lot, so it is not lost on me that “the system” is broken. But when a bum walks up to lone female in a dark parking lot and aggressively “asks” for money we need to redirect the bum.

Larry, I give to The Salvation Army, in addition to massive taxes which I never see again. I think the “dude” on the hotline was concerned about the aggressive homeless… and this is what I mentioned and made fun of as well. Often they are not down and out, or not by chance anyway, which is why the Salvation Army is a good place for my money. If they’ve given up on someone… oh boy, what a screw up… or perhaps is a runaway or has a warrant.

Zippo thinks it’s funny to play pranks on the homeless. They’re literally down and out. He’s intellectually down and out.

Just Me, You are not celebrating “that dude’s” diversity. You should not be so judgmental and closed minded, with a little government-paid therapy he might someday be a great neighbor to you and other mainstream inside the box thinkers.

I would like to personally say “Thank You” to all the homeless people in the city of Boise for making that dude’s life so miserable that hs is moving away. We really do not need “those” kind of people in our city, now do we?

May God Bless the wonderful Homeless people and the job that they are doing to help keep our great city so great.

I have a pocket full of mexican money for the real aggressive homeless. Expired wal-mart cards are good ones too.

I’d say paralyzed from the neck up is more likely…

Timm,

The homeless do/DID vote, who do you think acorn spent out tax dollars bussing to the polls? That is exactly how we ended up with the shady clueless lot we have in DC now.

The well intentioned actions of organizations like the Boise Rescue Mission are only compounding the Professional Homeless [ http://theboisepicayune.blogspot.com/2008/10/professional-homeless.html ] problem in Boise.

If you build it they will come.
