These people, Caifornians, are just deperate human beings that society "the family and system" cast away because the are deemed unworthy. It is the human species way of aborting the unwanted by leaving them to the wills of the cruel system. It should not be illegal to pan handle with out undo durest to the parties involved. Btw, California law makes homelessness illegal and they end up in psych hospitals and ruined buy the system.
