I used to see a van going around and picking up and dropping off bums on corners, Either Austin has got some organized bums or somebody was pimping them out.

About the bums being intimidating--- I totally agree. Every time I go to 6th street I get badgered about money or followed by a couple muttering under their breath. Thankfully I always go with a large group of people, I'd never go in small numbers or by myself.

My new Favorite is the Austin Recovery Ministries (ARM), I don't care what you problem is, yelling at people stopped at lights is not going to get you any donations. Also trying to peddle penny candy is dumb as well. I don't know who is responsible for these folks, but they are a scab on Austin.

I haven't seen the MJ guy, interesting.

Bums certainly don't intimidate me. I guess growing up near Chicago cured me of that.

I grew up near Dallas and the only interactions we had with the downtown crowd of homeless people were not pleasant. When I was little, my mom and I tried to take them the left over church food, our car basically got attacked when we tried to pass it out. I guess no good dead goes unpunished, but that certainly left a lasting impression on me as a child!

I can see where that might mess you up a little.
