Hey there all you net friends.
It seems that there’s a new breed of idiot out there and it comes in the form of Social Net Crime braggers.

Mayor Ricci said that his reason was simply to “preserve the sacred character of Assisi without damaging its welcome“.
In defence Renato Martino who is the head of a Pontifical council for justice and peace said, “Begging is not a crime, I don’t understand why it has to be banned by adopting a law. Even if some people take advantage, helping those who are in need is always a good thing to do.”
