4. IDK if I feel "sorry" for the backpacker types

This isn't (presumably) a case of somebody with untreated mental illness or another disability, other than the "disability" of being an entitled shitgibbon. I don't know. I remember when I was in Allston there were always kids there in the summer who just sat on the corner and aggressively demanded money because they were "making a trip to San Francisco to record an album" (never mind that they were twenty yards from one of the best independent studios on the east coast, which rented out session time for remarkably cheap for indie acts, nor the fact that they had said the same thing the past two summers.) I was couch-surfing at the time because I couldn't afford both an apartment and tuition, but they still threw stuff at me when I walked by them.

For that matter I have no particular reason to believe the panhandlers in this video are homeless.
