Of course, they could never do that because everyone is broke.
You don't get it, the city doesn't need to build shit. They're are soup kitchens everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE. No one is starving.
You all just don't understand how many homeless people come to florida just to post up with their hand out in a few of the major cities. There are times downtown where there are more bums around than anyone else.Quote:
the human abstract said: cops arrested people
they didnt just say stop and leave.
Yes, because this is a common problem. There's always some asshole hippie college student that wants to stir up a bunch of shit by feeding the homeless in the park, or in front of the courthouse. Meanwhile, there were probably 2 or 3 soup kitchens within a 5 block radius. This has less to do with feeding hungry people, an more to do with some spoiled hipster fuck wanting to feel important.
You all just don't get it because you don't live here.

The reason this law is in place because the parks will end up looking like this, minus the obvious drug use, lol.

Now that I think about it more, I have to agree with you blewmeanie. There are tons of soup kitchens and places for them to get food. They could've just helped out there instead of feeding them in the park.

And the KNEW it was illegal when they did it. this was a protest, they wanted to get arrested.
Cops shoulda just turned the dogs on 'em.

Yes, they seem to be just taking advantage of the law out of context to try to further their cause. I've been to several of those kitchens to help out when I was younger. There are enough that you never need to feed the homeless in a park.
If the homeless people actually were starving here and couldn't find the abundance of food available to them, thats simply natural selection.

Mehh, If people want to feed the homelss in a park then that should be ok. Like someone said a couple pages back. You do not need a permit to get some family's and friends together for a picnic. Shits ridiculous.
Yet another thing government should not be allowed to deal with. Although I am not familiar with the law and this could be a state issue.

Around here you need a park permit if you are having more than a certain number of people (might be 50?) whether they are public or private. Dunno about these guys, but it's probably similar.

Florida has a lot of weird laws. I can't wait to leave in a few months. If they were just feeding individuals it would have probably been fine. If I read the article correctly, the people could've had a permit but refused it and were basically protesting.

Maybe they did so because its stupid as shit 
Like Ive said before. Just because its a law does not make it right and should not suggest that we all stand complacent on the matter.
Sure, some laws do need to be followed. I am no anarchist. But things like this is a waste of tax dollars if the cops are out busting people for such things.
My opinion.

It may be stupid but they knew what they were doing was illegal and didn't care. I don't personally agree with the law, but either way the people aren't starving. There probably is a reason it is illegal but I'm not going to speculate

You all don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. Without laws like this public spaces are completely uninhabitable in Florida. Just like they had to pass a law banning standing within so many feet of an atm, because so many bums would set up camp around them all day that no one could even use them.

Have you ever been asked for money while inside a store or restaurant? It happens all the time here.

For one, not many people are trying to feed the homeless in parks. And two, the ATM thing is understandable.

That's not what the park is there for. I can't open up a store in the park, or build a house, because the park is there for everyone. When what you're doing prevents other people from being able to enjoy the park then it's a problem. The homeless dominate parks in Florida if you let them.

Often times, looking in bums general direction around here causes them to come to you and beg. If you gave one homeless person food in many of the parks here, others would come and it would certainly detract from your experience. You may say we sound harsh, but after long enough it gets kind of annoying. Especially when it is clear that they don't need what they beg for nearly as much as they say. I have nothing against them and have helped out many in the past

It's probably illegal because it's a capitalist country and you are required by law to give money to the government before you can start making money. Fuck this, I want a free-trade market system! Fuck income tax!
-edit- forgot to mention, even though no profit is being made here, it's still a business in greedy eyes and needs to pay up. America is a mafia.
