Jose Pazos confronts Veterans and Patriots Citadel Incorporated panhandlers
Jose Pazos confronted some panhandlers in Miami when the former Marine saw them in Army uniforms representing the organization that calls themselves Veterans and Patriots Citadel Incorporated. According to the NBC affiliate, their license to solicit has been suspended by the State of Florida;
The Florida Department of Agriculture suspended the authority for Veterans and Patriots Citadel Incorporated to collect donations as a charity on the day of the incident.
Veterans and Patriots Citadel Incorporated told NBC 6 that it was the state’s fault their license was suspended, but Florida said the group did not file the correct paperwork to keep its license.
From Local 10 News;
Pazos, who served two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, said he confronted the two men after he witnessed them collecting donations in full uniform at Bird Road and Southwest 67th Avenue in southwest Miami-Dade County.
“I am 99.9 percent sure these guys are scam artists,” Pazos said.
Pazos confronted the two men last week when he spotted them when he was on his way to work.
“They’re not doing anything for veterans and that’s what infuriated me,” Pazos said.

When I moved down to Florida, I used to see these guys in camo BDU’S on the main drags with 5 gallon buckets to hold the moola shmoola people were throwing in. I learned on that they as well as their employer got paid and the people that were supposed to get the moola got a very small amount where the employer kept most of the money. Met one of them who said that he was an Army Vet and the small amount of money he made helped out a little.
Lazy is as lazy does.
If one less panhandler is on the street, fine by me. Two less – even better. They used to follow me down the street, yelling at me because I wouldn’t fork over anything, but I’d buy a paper from the homeless guy who was selling the Sun-Times at the corner.
I remember getting cussed at by a panhandler because I offered him food instead of money and since then I’ve had little sympathy for them. Instead of giving them cash I donate to The Salvation Army.
I handed a panhandler a bottle of cold water. The bastard uncapped it and poured it on my hood.
So FUCK ‘EM ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ungrateful little bitches don’t get my sympathy any more.
I guess it’s cool now to diminish the reputation of some of our country’s greatest institutions… as long as you have the proper business license. Thanks Obama.
Blame the people that voted for him.
