dunefreak Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I heard today on the radio that there is a guy in a wheelchair with one leg and a dog that sits on the corner of the Flamingo/ I15 off ramp. A guy he knows called in to the station and described how he knew the guy. The "homeless" guy has a condo he pays $1300/ month for and drives a brand new Cadillac. He collects $300-400 PER DAY just by pan-handling. He gambles on the weekends and stands on the street corners during the week. If you do the math he makes anywhere from $79,200- 105,000 a year! CASH/ TAKE HOME! :fart: Many others started calling into the station conferming the guy's true self. A tow truck driver stated that he saw the guy getting out of his brand new red Cadi on his crutches, grabbing the wheelchair out of the back and his dog and get into another vehicle that brought him to the street corner to stand and collect cash all day long. People like this make me sick. Not because I'm jealous in any way, but that some people sometimes put more effort into ripping people off or making money off others than it takes to get a real job. So beware, don't give this guy any money because you feel sorry for this "homeless" person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don29palms Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) That's been a scam people have been using for years. If you're stupid enough to give some scumbag beggar money HE deserves it. If you really want to help the homeless make your donations to a reputable organization. Or even better yet let them pick up trash around the house or sweep the driveway or weed the garden or something to work for the money you give them. You had to work for your money. Why shouldn't they? Just remember "NOTHING IS FREE". :fart: Edited August 29, 2006 by Don29palms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingnut Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Pete thats the rasta man. He's been on that corner for ever. He has one leg and usually a dog or two with him. He's the most popular homeless guy in vegas. I remember seeing him on Taxi cab confessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the most popular homeless guy in vegas. I remember seeing him on Taxi cab confessions. I thought that might be the guy. If that's him, he's been doing it for more like over 8 years now! When I used to work on the west side (W Tropicana and Jones) I saw him at the Tropicana exit at I15 in the mornings. The last time I saw him he had NO legs though. You sure its him? :fart: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross and Alice Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I've seen that guy. My wife used to be a soft touch for that stuff. I broke her of that, and I don't expect to break her of anything else. It's best to find some sort of charity ya like and youre sure about and channel your sympathy cash that way.
