I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. Just like the German cop investigating gambling in the back in Rick's bar in the movie Casablanca.

It's hard to believe that was profitable for the church. You would think that providing food and shelter for these people would have cost around as much and they could get with welfare and panhandling. Perhaps panhandling is more lucrative than I thought.

I'm not surprised.

Where I live they do this all the time. Most of them that come around are Baptists.

I hope they spend a long time in prison.

I know there are guys in Africa who do this. They house and feed the panhandlers, and this seems to be an accepted practice.

I've heard there were quasi-moral arrangements associated with panhandlers but I've never had a chance to look into it.

I'm not surprised that they would assume the veneer of religion. Why wouldn't they?

And preying on some of the must vulnerable people in our society is pretty bad. I wonder if they were once or are now homeless themselves. It sounds like an unpleasant, desperate path for everybody involved.

Looks legit.......
