A Beggar is Making $100K A Year Prentending to Be Mentally Challenged [VIDEO]

A guy in Lexington, Kentucky named Gary Thompson pulls in $100,000 a year panhandling. He pretends to be mentally challenged, and goes around in a wheelchair to get sympathy and money from people. He was confronted by a local news station about it, and in the interview he laughed and said he doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon. Watch the report, where he does his handicapped impression, and then his real voice.

I watched this report and was DISGUSTED!  How dare someone pretend to be mentally challenged to get money.  And to laugh about it is shameful.
