Come on he deserved more than a coin!

this guy is pouring his heart out. He's earned every penning. Maybe he lacks talent and training, but he doesn't deserve to called a beggar.

@ahlam33 I am glad that you understand. I was there and it wasn't pleasant. I never thought I would be there and it takes being there to understand and be a warrior and say or do the things that I do. It's easy to criticize and hate and hurt and do bad, but very hard for humans to love.

You know I am a not perfect, but I stand for righteousness sake. Thanks for liking my comments. I hope to enlighten the world with force.

No fuckin' wonder the poor guy plays off-key...he looks like he hasn't eaten in days. He's probably starved to death by now.

@megasif I agree with you, man. He's making his bread, not begging his money, and can play a musical instrument with a disability. That's more than some able-bodied poor people can do.

I plan to see this man in Heaven. Seriously. Screw the world and their fucked up mentality. I don't care if he was trying to get money 'cause it's called working. You do with whatever you got and that's all he got and it's better than fucked up people. That's for sure.

Ok this sounds awful, though I feel pity about him and would totally throw some coins inside.

Swag.

The poor bastards blind, i would give him $20 just for being on the street playing a tin can on a stick

i suspect in many asian countries these people are very close to being beggars. I come from an asian country where buskers are very rarely appreciated, and most who take to the streets in this manner usually are not doing it for the art form at all, but have too few means to survive.

if only people like this musician didn't need to struggling so hard....
