San Antonio: A young man was approaching mostly women at a restaurant I frequent and asking for a handout. He would get very close to them, right in their face, give them his sob story, anf of course they would immediately hand over some cash for the sake of getting rid if him. Is this illegal?

Harrassment is illegal. For the specifics on panhandling laws you need to check your city laws about it. This varies from town to town (which is why panhandlers gather in certain areas and not others).

If he's poor why dont you try to help him?
Oh sorry, just sweep him under the rug, ignore him
maybe he'll get beat up or something isn't that the typical
"neighborly thing' to do?
Wouldn't want your property values to go down or anything
Gawd forbid.
Your racists

In my city, Augusta, GA, aggressive panhandling (i.e. physically accosting someone for money) is illegal.
