A gentleman approached myself, husband and friend with some sob story. My husband told him to speak to the police. My female friend was a bit concerned that he might have approached her when she was on her own and where would it have led. This happened outside Chilis on 441 about 7pm last night.

After working in Hollywood Ca for years and dealing with non stop parking lot BS I couldn't help but to appreciate the 'homeless' looking guy standing on the corner or Sunset and Laurel Canyon with a sign (at rush hour) saying "NEED MONEY FOR BEER AND DRUGS"
Word is he made about 300.00 a day.
There are avenues for hungry vets and ill vets. If they are begging for money they are full of black cow.

This kind of thing is happening all over Central Florida and probably beyond. I don't give them anything. If they are outside a business, I go into the business and suggest they call the police as these people scare away some customers.

Having worked in NYC, I used to hear every hard luck story imaginable. Once, on the subway, I was approached by a woman with a thick Brooklyn accent who said she needed money to get home to Alaska.
