Feeding the Homeless In Orlando...Again

It's a crime there, you know.

CALL THE SWAT TEAM!

I don't really have a problem with this. Groups do it in Washington, DC and what happens is that then the buns literally move into the park and bring all of their possessions in the form of carts and trash bags filled with all their junk. They camp on the benches or in the restrooms if there are any, and they fight, use drugs, crap in the open, curse at passers-by, and do all the other things that mentally ill bums do. Real quick, the parks are then unattractive or just plan unusable to everyone else.

it's not illegal in Florida or anywhere else to feed them from a storefront or a church, but the issue is this park and the very valid fear that if you feed them there, they, like pigeons or seagulls, will come for the free food and stay.

Good idea, don't feed them and they'll disappear. What happens to them? Who the fuck cares, they're mentally ill!

Public park...public...unless you are sleeping on my bench and smell funny.

Let's not bother enforcing codes already in place against fighting, defecation in public, and so forth. We'll make a new one that outlaws the feeding of the public in a public place.

Also, the comments to the linked article are well worth a read:

"You know what they say about giving a man a fish..."

"He learns to make bouillabaisse?"

"Of course, if you taught the man to fish the teachers' unions would smack your ass for not being certified to teach."
