Homeless Beggar’s Attorney Talks Today
-

- 28
Today’s “High Noon” radio program will include an interview with Carl D. Birman, the attorney for Eric Hoffstead, a homeless panhandler who was arrested in New Rochelle last month after asking a cop for a dollar.
The charge was thrown out of court after Hoffstead, 36, argued that his right to free speech had been violated. Do you think begging for money is a First Amendment right?
Listen in today at 12 noon at WVOX, 1460-AM. (It also streams live at www.wvox.com) and if you want, call in at 914-636-0110. Let your voice be heard! They don’t call it “VOX” for nothing.

The US is a wonderful place. the rich get anything they can afford. The poor get what they dont have. and the working class struggles on and on and on .. ;-]
To paraphrase the western hero Bat Materson (buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, beleive it or not)—The rich get ice in the summer and the poor get ice in the winter…
I don’t what he said, if anything, about the working stiffs.

Back then the working stiff was the poor ;-]
