No more panhandling from multinational media giants. But it raises an interesting question. Well, Sam Walker, a professor of criminal justice and an ACLU advisor, has a backhanded answer. He uses politicians' behavior to defend the rights of panhandlers. You cannot draw a line between making a political speech and asking for money.
Panhandlers have a right to talk to someone else about their condition.
It's like talking about a political party. It certainly is. The once existing difference between public representation and pandering to those with ready cash has dissolved. The destitute pleading for spare change certainly should enjoy the same rights as the representatives they mimic.
