Boo Hoo Hoo

So this guy, who is obviously nuts, has been handing out 10-dollar bills to the homeless this week. He announced that he'd be doing it again on Friday at 4PM. So naturally, a crowd of 500 homeless people (you know, probably1/30th of the homeless population here) shows up to wait for free money.

Some came as early as noon to wait for the cash. Then the guy shows up an hour late and spends an hour making speeches to different groups of homeless. So the crowd starts getting pissed off, because they want their free money, and the guy gets scared and leaves without giving away anything.

The crowd began cursing and yelling at Canada and his volunteers.

"This was just a great big joke on us," Steve Hunt said. "He better not show his face here again."

The Thursday crowd "was peaceful," [ a volunteer] said. "Today, it just got a little out of control. There's so many people, and now they're upset they're not going to get their money."

"This is messed up," said Brian Boykin, who said he was going to use his money for a hot meal. "That whole time we sat listening to him, thinking we would get money -- and then nothing."

Man, it sucks to be homeless in San Francisco! You spend six hours sitting on your ass waiting for a free $10 handout, and then you don't get it! It's really hard being a lazy, self-righteous drug addict!
