Right in front of the Giant in McLean.
He does not play the violin and I’m sure his sign is a lie as well. So fake and so annoying! Stop giving this faker money; it only encourages him to come back. |

| The panhandlers are here because they make a lot of money. They would go away if people stopped giving them money. |

| Why can’t giant kick them out? I can’t stand the panhandling. |

| What do you mean he's fake? He plays recorded music while holding a violin? or Doesn't play, just holds the instrument? |

Worse: - he plays recorded music while he pretends he is the one playing it. Then asks you for money. If only there were a word |

| In many places, busking is licensed - in part to prevent this sort of fakery. |

| I admire his bravado. |

And where can I see this, lol... if he makes me laugh, I'll give him a couple of bucks. |

It's not bravado. It's actually a nationwide problem, there are fake violin players busking all over the country. No other instruments, just fake violin playing. It's scamming but looks fancier than asking to resurface your driveway. |

| He's not that different from the rest of the county, which takes money from McLean but refuses to invest in the area. That's an even bigger grift. |

I mean, if people enjoy way CB in this and give him money, it’s not a scam. Different from people going to doors and “inspecting” your roof by doing damage and then saying they need to fix your roof. |

| Everything about them is a lie and fake. They’re not playing violins, those are not the children with them, they don’t have cancer, those limps are probably fake as well. |
