Default Who are those guys that collect money at the intersections.

I'm not talking about the homeless individuals that haunt the intersections, I'm talking about the young black men (usually) in white shirts that parade through the stopped traffic with white buckets. The only thing I can read on the buckets, is "kids." I personally would never give anybody money without knowing what it's about. This is all new to me. I am surprised they are allowed to do that.

I am also surprised that the homeless guys can do it. A couple of months ago, we saw a guy begging at a large intersection and during the three minutes that the light was red, seven people gave him money. Do the arithmetic.
