Waiting at the stoplight of I-69 and Ruben Torres Blvd., we saw an elderly man walking back from the convenience store with two red "tall boys," likely Budweiser, in paper sacks. He put the beverages into a black bag near one of the overpass pillars and quickly went back to "work," begging for money from the waiting traffic.
The instant he noticed me taking pictures with my phone, he walked toward our car, eventually approaching the driver's side window and yelling: "Fuck you, bitch!"

Most of the local homeless panhandlers are mentally ill or drug addicts or both.
ReplyDeleteYour blog sucks.
ReplyDeleteWell don't read it
DeleteWhy do you read this blog if it sucks?
ReplyDeleteDo not judge , until you walk in his shoes addiction is a disease suffered by many at least he is NOT stealing
ReplyDeleteIf we weren't supporting so many mierda mojados we would have sufficient government funds to help these poor homeless American citizen.
DeleteAmericans First!
About 20 years ago, my buddy and I had a somewhat extended conversation with 2 men at the Toucan lounge, Caucasians, who admitted to us that they were both pan handlers and that they were both shocking up in the motel located in the Toucan bar area. So it's just very apparent that they make very good money doing that.
ReplyDeleteI still say you are a better photograph than a writer. Compliment, there.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Duardo, but the person who takes the pic is a photographer, not a "photograph." Don't be disheartened, though, as your comments have improved over the years. Three areas still need work:
Delete1. Grammar
2. Spelling
3. Punctuation
You might check, Duardo, to see if adult "continuing education" classes are available in your area. Keep up the good work. I actually knew what you meant to say this time and that's a big improvement over your previous efforts.
As a long-time readers, all I ask is that you from time to time post a photo of Nena's deep-pan pussy. ja ja ja
ReplyDeleteTypical Duardo; illiterate and obscene! You, ignorant one, are a long time reader, singular, not a long time "readers!" Come back when you can write an articulate, well-worded comment, not one a grade school teacher would mark up with her red pencil! Learn to write, boy!
DeleteHe lives behind krispy kreme donuts.
ReplyDeleteHe peed and poops in the parking lot he also asks for mi ey at the mall and 802 light. It's true they make enough in one day to pay 40 dollars for a room at motel 6. However mgmt doesn't always rent to them because they trash the place and throw parties
I was a cop in mcallen in the 90's. These poor people use to buy a one way from Chicago to mcallen to avoid the harsh winters. They would stay here and go back north after winter. Some even claimed the shelters up north were paying for their tickets.

ReplyDeleteSo he ran away from a cop and pulled away when they handcuffed him. Those are the only changes. Question is why was the PD trying to make contact with him? There are no other charges. Where they profiling or harassing him? Fleeing on foot? Revisiting? OK where's the initial crime for which you tried to stop him before he "evaded" and "resisted"?
