The Super Bowl's Homeless Problem fixed via a 500 fine for panhandling

[midnight]

On Sunday, James Jones, who spent much of the first 14 years of his life living in homeless shelters, will play in the Super Bowl. The Green Bay Packers' wide receiver has done a lot to raise the profile of homelessness through public appearances and his Love Jones 4 Kids Foundation, which helps homeless kids stay in school. But if you're expecting his made-for-Hollywood saga to provoke any national soul searching amidst all of the halftime hoopla this weekend, you're probably going to be disappointed. If anything, the big game at Cowboys Stadium in the Dallas-Forth Worth area is shaping up to be a textbook example of how the poor get the shaft.

James thinks it would be a great idea if the city rolled out the same treatment to the poor as they do to the rich.

if they rolled out the same treatment to the rich as they do to the poor.

3. Corporation are allowed to panhandle through their never ending ads

and commercials but don't let a real needy human being do it.

4. cities have typically made homeless people 'vanish' before big events

whether through detainment or pawning them off on some other city...
