Back in 2004 was pan handled by a Black couple in the old Boardwalk Casino while wife was in the Internet Cafe. Security came but not before I was $10 poorer.
Are you saying that you were so intimidated by panhandlers that you coughed up $10? Unless there were 3 or more, and they were circling me in a dark alley, I wouldn't give up a penny.
