Unfortunately it’s impossible to tell the con artists, or the lazy from the truly needy, and who does that hurt ? But as there is no honor among thieves, there is no shame among con artists .

The truly needy have the option of interacting legitimately with Vermont’s very generous social service cornucopia. Sure, some of the panhandlers do that as well and double-dip. Interfering with the flow of traffic at intersections ought to have legal consequences.

Real interviews, real reporting……that’s refreshing!

It’s really hard to be sympathetic to someone asking for money when they’ve got literally hundreds (if not more) of dollars of tattoos on their body…just saying. 🤔

Piercings and purple hair are also not cheap, and are outward signs of twisted financial priorities by someone with their hand out…

All of the words on the signs they hold up are completely fabricated, designed to pull at your heart-strings. Like the man in the video said, “it’s an artform”. They defend their “spot” almost to the death, especially if it pays well. I’ve seen shift changes at many intersections; yes, actual changing of the guard. Notice how they all have no teeth? That is Meth folks, it rots the teeth and makes them just fall out with the slightest touch. One of the newer street drugs in the mix also rots their skin so if you see a person with skin sores and that “look” in their eyes, slumped over like a zombie from the Walking Dead show, that is Xylazine, mixed with Fentanyl, with a splash of Heroin. There is a new addition to the concoction on Vermont streets, Medetomidine which is a veterinary sedative, with a street name of “rhino tranq”. Gee, I wonder how it got that name?
If you build it they will come.
The Vermont welcome mat has set up us all for failure in the attempt to rescue those that do not want to be rescued.
We can be sympathetic, merciful and empathetic.
We don’t have be suicidal.

If I help someone it doesn’t matter to me how they use it. I don’t like anyone to hurt themselves with drugs, but if that is what they think they need in that moment then I guess that is on them. I actually haven’t given money in a long time but if I see someone with a sign I will next time. I am grateful to God for what I have so I do feel compelled to help when I can.

In regards to the “safe injection center” being proposed for Burlington, if you really want to educate yourself on the topic, just take a look at what is going on in Los Angeles. Brett Cooper discussed this in one of her recent shows (8:14 mark on the free platform Rumble):
