Guy in wheelchair - what's the story?

Saw this guy downtown pretending to be stuck in his wheelchair. Couldn’t resist taking photos.

Who is he, and why does he pretend to get stuck so people will help him?

He’s “The Chairman” – if you search this site, you’ll get the background on him, I’m sure.

If you want to push him it will probably cost you money, he can stand and piss on the side of the road, he can hold a bottle and get drunk like the best of them. The guy is a piece of trash and if he runs you over with his wheel chair break his spokes.

lol I feel sorry for the people that helped him, wonder how much $ and smokes he scammed that day.
