There was a guy at the LR bus station trying to sell me some electric hair clippers he found in a dumpster. He said they still worked fine. After I turned down the clippers he tried to sell me a tigers eye. I had no idea what a tigers eye was at the time but I was telling the story to an older guy once and he said it was something that was popular back in the 70's. Then he just asked me for a dollar, I would probably give him a dollar now but I'm a lot nicer than I was when I was at 18.
A cop was setting on the floor against the wall with his cap over his face snoring the whole time, maybe he was just a security gaurd with a gun I'm not positive. This was really early in the morning, maybe 2 or 3am.
The whole thing was pretty hilarious to me.
If you want to meet some characters ride the greyhound.

All over the world?? Just wondering how you know this, for I have traveled to many European cities and this has never happened to me and in fact, I feel totally safe in them, but not here at all where life seems more meaningless and people own guns.

As the above poster, I have been on holiday many times in Europe, and elsewhere.
The only place I have ever been and had this sort of aggressive begging is the USA.
Sorry to say it, because I enjoy visiting America.

And for me Belgrade with the gypsies... But at least with them, not afraid for my life.

Folks, you are entitled to your opinions, as am I. But this thread is specifically about panhandlers in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas, not gun control, the meaning of life, or gypsies in Belgrade. This is the local Little Rock relocation forum. Please limit your comments to the thread topic. Thanks.

Aha, ok, sorry. But to be honest, I didn't think it was just about panhandling, but that leading to crime maybe as the OP sounded afraid, and ususally panhandling doesn't cause fear. So... will stop as I apparently don't know what I am talking about!
