This is the exact mentality I have towards panhandlers. I’ve always worked my ass off to earn a dollar, why shouldn’t they. I don’t believe in handing people free money when they have the ability to work like the rest of us

My boyfriend's mother offered one of the people with these signs a job and they declined so fast. Said they "don't have time". If you really need money and someone offers you a way to earn it, wouldn't you take it?

I saw a panhandler in Florida holding a sign that said " out of work " in front of a Walmart. The irony is, that 5 feet right behind him was a huge "NOW HIRING" sign posted by Walmart.

When are we going to start calling them what they are...: BUMS! Not homeless

I work at a mission here in Florida, I'm a volunteer here and I see those truly in need on a daily basis. The homeless are in need believe me, I'm one of them.

I cant believe I watched a 5 min video of some old man rambling on while driving. My bad

There are hundreds of handlers in San Francisco holding "Homeless Vietnam vet. Please help." A Veterans group did a background check of 100 of them. Turns out that 99 if the beggars were never in the military. Only one was ever in the military...sort of. That one was kicked out of basic training.

I loved cutting grass as a kid and as a teenager I would love to do it again

Trying looking in a Walmart parking lot at 6 am to 7 am for the people that spend the night in there car. These are the people need help.

I gave a panhandler a dollar one time then a few days later I saw the guy at Wal-Mart with a shopping cart full of beer. Shows you how they take advantage of ppl

Good Job Jason - Thank you;

Walmart Kmart you are a stalker

based on the comments... (1) this vid created more questions than answers. (2) created more problems than solutions. good day.

Stop Feeding The Bears. If you really want to help, donate to orgs that get people off assistance. ..... In Northeast Pennsylvania, for instance, Valor, which takes in homeless veterans, has a 97% success rate.

I saw a guy holding a sign..."Starving, need money"! Stopped at McDonald's and bought a Big Mac and fries. Went back and gave it to him and as I was driving off I saw him throw it into the bushes. Guess he wasn't that hungry after all

Your boarderline stalking tho bro.....i get what ur sayin but, you can't jus go around takin pictures of ppl wit out permission tho!!!

I commend you for what your doing. I couldn't agree more with your philosophy. If these leaches are strong enough to walk around begging for cash, then their strong enough to push a friggen lawn mower. Thanks for sharing, Eric Dee

Ppl....he literally went out of his way, spent gas money, and time to go and find this panhandler and offer him work! At least he doesn't just call all panhandlers names, and ignore them! He works hard for his money.....everybody does. At least Jason takes the time to find out their story , not just walk or drive by ignoring them. Jason is the first to help someone " down on their luck". It's when ppl use panhandling as a lifestyle that is wrong!

Just about every Walmart has a "help wanted" sign out front right now.

" I don't have time for somebody like him", lol, except for driving around all morning to not offer somebody help lmfao

If i was in need i would’ve taken the deal, work for money..

Do not give bums money. Compel them to utilize the social programs available that we're already paying for. Help is available and waiting.

You Did Not Offer Anyone A Job... Why Lie?

Jason ASSelin looks like they got the first part of your last name right .

Good for you Jason. Don't mind the 11 year old haters here, they don't know the real world.

I'm moving to your hood. I will pretend to be a 🐻 bear. Oh you have $20 bucks!!! Wow!!! I can't wait to meet you and I am bringing my team and film gear to reverse this entire shitdom or yours on its head once and for all. We are also bringing lots of salmon to help recruit all the bears as part of our team and oh it is going to be on. You will never know which one of us is ready to hug you with a best bear hug buddy.

I used to always run into this one homeless individual and eventually we'd get to talking and it lead to me getting to know a good chunk of the local homeless community, about a dozen of them who live at a park along the road I commute to work to. One time I asked one of the woman, who had been homeless for probably 5-10 years, if she would be interested in working if given the chance. A 9-5 job somewhere, get an apartment, live a normal life, etc. Her answer? Nope! Wasn't interested in working. Would rather lay in the grass in the park and drink all day. She's not crazy, either. She's a bit weird, has a bit of anxiety, but is all there mentally and could work. She'll tell you as much. But after a while, she'll go and make some excuse about why she can't work due to a traumatic experience. Panhandling at a street corner, I was told the woman makes $100 in an hour (Hence she'll panhandle for an hour and lay around for the remainder of the day. A man said he made $400 in a day once panhandling, but he usually does nothing all day and they split the cash from the hour of panhandling. That man is youngish, early or mid thirties. Physically fine. Intelligent. He understands how to socialize and could act perfectly normal when he wants. I don't know what he's given antipsychotics for (didn't ask, not my business), but I saw he had them so he does have a mental illness, but whatever it is it's under control w/medication. He could work. But he doesn't want to. Rather drink and use drugs. Weird thing about this guy, is he's not "addicted" to anything in the traditional sense. He can, and often does, quit drinking or quit smoking meth for weeks. He's one of those very rare people who can take drugs or leave them; he just chooses to take them more often than not. That's just two of them. Another woman panhandles for week a month and that pays for three weeks of a by-the-week motel room. Panhandling and food stamps and Medicaid and she's fed, clothed, sheltered, and given medical care. Doesn't want to work. Why should she if she can get everything she'd get from a forty hour a week job by begging for twenty hours a month? I could go on forever. Before I got to know these people I used to always give homeless some money. I knew they might use it for drugs and beer, but I figured they were generally needy, down on their luck and had just exhausted all their options and dropped out of society from depression. That, or they were mentally ill or hopelessly addicted to something. But that's not the case with a lot of them. They could work and function in society, but they wouldn't take a $50k an hour job if you offered it to them. So I'm kind of at a loss now at what to do. I instinctually want to help but I haven't given a dime to any homeless in a while.

You can’t go anywhere nowadays without people begging for money. I wish they would hurry up and pass through and get to California.

Makes me sick,the last time I was homeless..I didn't stand on a corner or sit in a Walmart parking lot and beg for $$..I actually had a friend who let me live with her until I had a job n saved enough to get my own place..heck I don't even like to borrow $$..much less beg for it..sad

You said you're not gonna waste your time.... Looks like you have plenty of it!!

If people can clean trash from parks, beaches, highways not expecting a handout, it would be a hand up. We don't know the back story of someone we just met. We make assumptions that may be untrue. Many lie by omission. I decided to not give and not feel guilt for not giving. They'll find another target to hit up. Saying no might be the best things you do for them. Social Service agencies are better able to help them achieve short & long term stability.

And I'm sorry some of my spelling it were right

The most dangerous health problem facing the homeless in the U.S. is obesity.

You have WAY too much time on your hands.

We had a guy at the bus station begging people to help him with money for a bus pass, but the janitor found him sleeping in the stalls with a couple of beer bottles strewn about. I don't have any sympathy for people who do this. Anyone who makes the kind of choice for their lives to be this way are less then insects.

That could be you one day.

Your videos are appreciated. People are having a hard time understanding the difference between correction and judgement. Thanks for shining a light in the darkness of a begger's life.

I will give you credit were credit is due. You really did help a veteran with his house. Kudos on that.

Not all of them are liars there are ones out there to tell him the truth

I wish you lived in VA! I would love for you to patrol the people here. We moved from a different town, and there are a woman and a man that are at this same stop light every single day!! Man I’m struggling too! I don’t have extra money to hand out....I agree with you. What happened to working for money?? The rest of us have to. People are so messed up these days. I’m 30, and I thought it was my generation was going to be the worst

So, this guy is prolly on "disability" calling other people bums LOL. I dunno lol

yeah right! you can't afford it that's what it is, but keep uploading videos and maybe one day you'll get a check from KZfaq.

STOP watching you

I live in a third world country where a lot of people are very poor, homeless, children sleep in the streets and I never give cash to the kids who are panhandling. I do give them food mostly and buy things from them sometimes. Most of the kids that are panhandling are working for someone. I also know some families that I help pay for their kids schooling, books and clothes etc. I do give money to the old and some who are disabled, but most of the people will work picking scrap cans, bottles, plastic etc. They are too proud to ask for a hand out, they'd much rather do something for their money no matter how poor they are.

Fair Question ( Didn't see an answer by you, Jayson, in the Comments ): Is 20$ a fair amount? Maybe it's a quick mow, a simple lawn, so I get it. That would be decent pay for an hour, especially. And anyone with self-respect would work for it. Otherwise, it sounds low and I'd be insulted if I was being given an opportunity to do a larger job and only paid the 20. I'm not attacking, but seeking clarity. Thanks.

Hey Jason, I'm in a situation were I may soon be homeless living in my van. I have a job at a local Hy-Vee grocery store but they are not giving many hours right now. You said $20 for mowing? I'd be willing to take you up on that offer homeless or not, I am willing and able and although I may be on the verge of being homeless, (not yet, but very close to it) I am willing and able. I wish there were more people that would offer jobs, hell I can't even beg for one right now, but I keep applying online. Fact is, whether people want to admit it or not, jobs may be listed, but getting those jobs is another world in itself. I apply daily and still have found nothing for a 2nd job sadly. If your ever in the KC MO metro area, I'm willing able ad ready for work.

I'm a firm believer if your down on your luck and you try hard enough to work for what you need you will find a job even if it only pays enough to buy a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter .

I like coming across people like you, most wait till light turns green and scream at ya lmao

Tampa, Florida passed ordinances banning panhandling on their major streets. Do you agree with that Jason? What should be done with them?

Farmer @ShawnDashiell1 Replying to @Bishop4House @wyldcat515 and 4 others Give a man a fish and he'll eat that day.. Teach a man to fish and he'll eat every day. Sometimes help isn't help.. it's enablement. Help the helpless, forget the hopeless.

Rejection of exploitation is lazyness? Would YOU accept 20 bucks for sight unseen "work"? You quite honestly look like the type of scumbag who would stiff him AFTER the job is completed, AND call a cop on him if he objected, and your entire schtick only confirms that impression.

Was that beer in your center console?

Just about everyone on the street panhandling is either mentally ill or addicted or most likely both. Just because you’re intolerant of them doesn’t make it wrong. It is a problem that we need to address as a community and publicly shaming people on the internet is not a solution. I’m concerned for these people. They need help, because they’re not able to help themselves. That doesn’t make them bad people. -Mike, from Marquette.

My philosophy is just give with a cheerful heart. Sometimes the lesson is for the giver.

Ive never given money to them...however, i did offer the neighborhood panhandler 20 bucks just to stand next to the moving van and watch over it when i was moving....he agreed to show up that Saturday...ha! He never showed up, so that reinforced my not giving money out....oh and i did see him later that week, he was begging as usual....and he didn't have an answer when i asked him why he didnt show up...

I seen a panhandler today at my local Target store had a big sign saying no food or gas traveling never seen her there before

Ah yes. U r the ultimate decision maker of the universe u goon. People r not allowed to do as they please. They should abide by mr trashy’s beliefs.

I don't know why people are talking s*** about this man he's trying to educate you not to give money for druggies but instead some people want to still be fools

3:39 mark... looks like two Bud Light cans to me in your console buddy I wonder how how many DUIs you have

Jason you really don't get it do you buddy one of these days you going to get it you need to back off leave these people alone if you want to go to work and make somebody else money you go right ahead because you are doing nothing except being a pain in the ass to people out here trying to survive like the person said before some of these people have mental issues physical issues you don't know the story so you need to mind your own business. stop being a hater Jason

I wish I was there I'm all the way in Indianapolis Indiana

Is this What you do to live? Expose panhandlers!!!???

it's cool to see your trying to prove your point by offering actual work. that makes it look a hell of a lot better. good job on this one buddy. keep it up

Hey I didn't even watch the video yet I just watched the beginning you know what you're a hundred percent right I only watch the first minute if they want money you know what let them work for us let's see if they really need the money and if they're telling the truth good job

you should only give to those who don't take kindness for weakness.

Jason u need to stop with your obsession with these strangers u and others are stalking. Your only asking for trouble. All these videos...your a sick man. People do what they have to to survive in this world. I actually think you are just jealous of these people...because they are just like u ....but smarter.

From reading the comments, one would think all of the beggars out there are using hard working people's money to pay for internet service

Maybe it's because you're creepy. I'm not getting in your van because I don't want to end up in a pit in your basement. Are you that clueless?

Looks like a bunch of panhandlers are getting out their rage out in their local public library. If the guy was legit. $20 is nothing. $20 is also a Bag or so of Dope...

I like feeding bears...feels amazing 👍

Keep doing what ur doing

The BEARS ??? ,They're people ! Careful, you might encounter an angel or 2Again, i think you and what your doing is creepy. You got a chip on your shoulder.

One man and his pregnant wife walked to a Sonic in Central Arkansas asking for free food. The manger told them they were hiring, and the man said, " I wouldn't work at a place like this." This was after the employees had bought the couple food.

smart move. be aware of who you help.

Ive got lotsa things to do around my house and would love to find a panhandler that will actually WORK.

drinking and driving, weeeee youuuuu! how about them cup holders

$20 is actually kinda cheap for mowing grass bro. Depending on the yard I usually charge at Least $40 and that includes weed eating clean up.

These people are what they call “grifters” learn about folks or you’re basically giving your money to someone that already has more money than you.

Look I'm homeless and a dialysis patient I makwnonly 450 dollars a month on disability and even though I am broke most of the month I will not pan handle there are to many other ways to get what you need.

I get the impression he is mad about having to cut it himself.

I have done that...they dont want to help at least what my experience was....your right on some people

Totally agree theres so many jobs these lazy peoppe need to work for their money.

When does helping become enabling? When does loving someone become loving someone to death? When the family keeps bailing out a loved one who's engaging in self-destructive behavior until the outcome is jail, hospitalization, or death.💕

Yeah he's creepy

I remember at one time seeing people hold up signs that said will work for food.

😂😂 that dude tryn to tell his gf how to spell jasons last name..... "ASS" n he laughs on the low

We are not haters he makes alot of assumption and seems to know everyone travel plans and everyone is panhandlers that is not always the case, yes there are people who do for a career but their are those who really need help. I do like his approach about this at all he is very rude with most of them especially the elderly man that really made me mad.

Don't give money to ppl who can't support themselves. It's just as bad as going to the casino and losing

Why didn't you offer the man $20 to cut your grass?

U r right I am in madison Wisconsin and they post up downtown to sleep and then bus it all over town durring the day and panhandle in the intersections. They had to pass a law they where not allowed to panhandle on busy streets but continue to stand at the walmarts amd other stores. They dont travel or most dont they have to many resources for them here. Then sadly in the winter we have so many that all the shelters are full and perople freezing to death on benches. Most r junkies or alcohalics anyway and then use kids or animals to get ur money!

who cares if someone's pan handling!!! just don't give them money if you got a problem with them and I don't think he was seriously gnna pay him 20$ to cut the grass cause he woulda have!!!

Freedom of speech

I have to pay someone at least $30 to cut my small lawn.

Yep I know how you feel I got sick from work they screwed me I need to pay all my bills from money I saved from work and now I don't have nothing and it's been 1 year off work I can't collect grovment money cause I'm to proud of myself to not I find little jobs to get by but I'll never pan handle I'm to proud of myself for that

You know what these people that rip you in the comments do they understand. My opinion of you I think it's good what you doing because you know what the people are really need the help that are really down low they're the ones that you could to help not these fakers that is scamming all it does is hurt the real poor that really need help and most of those people that really really need to help will not come out and do this and beg and ask for money most of them are ashamed if you want to help somebody or you people that make bad comments about this guy why don't you go somewhere the church go to your congressperson phone the family that needs to help and help them then and stop ripping him

Homeless in his state should be granted restraining orders against this dangerous and unpredictable human being.

Stop feeding the Bears, that cracks me up! That is funny and it doesn't take them long to know where the honey is.

Maybe I should give a panhandler a counterfeit $20 dollar bill .

Please come to downtown Milwaukee & correct all these damn homeless people.... I was once homeless & got myself out of it. The same damn people are STILL living on the street saying they need help. When in reality they are shooting up heroin, drinking beer & to fucking lazy to work. I confronted many of them when they've tried to ask me for shit. And find it hilarious that they don't realize that recognize me from being homeless & that I know their game.
