Arrested for feeding the hungry
-
Food Not Bombs volunteer Eric Montanez, 21, was arrested Sunday for feeding the hungry in Orlando, Florida, in the United States. This past July Orlando and Las Vegas Nevada passed laws making it illegal to feed the hungry. Other cities also tried to ban Food Not Bombs but their efforts failed.[^]
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
So does that mean I have to go eat before I go to the restaurant?

I agree with that not because I think that genuinely homeless people shouldn't get a helping hand but becuase begging has become an occupation for many in London. You can't walk past an ATM without someone sticking their hand out or past a station with some bloke and a dog or on the train (not seen for a while actually) a woman dressed in eastern european, possibly romanian, garb carrying a semi-comatose child and begging for money and getting angry when you don't give or being constantly accosted by people trying to get you to join the gym or gve to a charity. FUCK OFF and leave me alone; it's enough now. Any lingering sympathy for your plight has been eroded by years of people's hands out in the street. I don't believe any of them anymore which is a real shame for people who really are in a bind. So yes, they are correct to try and get these people off the street and, if they need it, getting help; if not, stopping the professional beggars who blight our streets. A recent report showed how they can make hundreds of pounds a day if they know what they are doing and the best place to be.

British hypocrisy at its best: it despises other western european countries for their refusal to open their labor market to eastern europeans and at the same time it refuses to deal with the consequences, and even blames the eastern europeans who believed in the British Dream to beg in the streets to survive.

What the fuck are you talking about? What has this to do with eastern europeans or immigrants? I have no idea if those women dressed as eastern europeans were from Poland or Pimlico and I don't care: I want to be left alone whilst walking the street sor travelling to and from work. I give/have given enough to charities of my choice over the years and I do not want to be accosted on the street by a professional beggar from ANYWHERE.

Why do you think there are so many beggars[^] near your ATM?

I would love to hear the rationale for making it illegal to feed the hungry. :omg: :wtf:

It's like feeding wild animals, they forget how to find food for themselves...:badger:

What's stopping you from giving ALL your money and possessions to others who obviously need it more than you? You talk a good game, but when it comes time to put up or shutup, guess which you choose. That's what I like about you liberals. You all think you have better ideas to spend OUR MONEY than we do. Try spending your own for a while. If you want higher taxes, there's nothing preventing you from sending more of your money to the taxing authority in your country!

I doubt it's because they're all Polish, especially when they swear at you in perfectly fluent estuary-English. You're making too much of the immigrant issue when it has nothing to do with the problem and if you were accosted several times a day in the street on the way to work you'd get pretty fucked off too: I'd like to see you stick your hand in your pocket faced with that every day. Enough is enough: it's not about being uncharitable: far from it, in fact; it's about being conned by wankers who can't be bothered to get work and would rather beg thereby making life even harder for the people that really need the help.

When they were passing the legislation in Las Vegas, they cited protecting tourism. That feeding the homeless is unsightly. And I believe its just in the downtown areas, although I could be wrong on that.
This statement was never false.

It has to do with spontaneous soup kitchens. The homeless are already there. This won't remove them. It just stops them from being fed.
