I honestly do not know the story about this man and his “feeding” the pigeons, but I have to ask how stupid he is, given the horrendous rat problem in NYC, to throw pizza.

I haven’t followed the story either, it just made me think about that apple - one of those lessons I’ll never forget (obviously).
The thing about all of these little incidents we hear about and speak of is that they are irrelevant without seeing the big picture. Singular, meaningless incidents are just squirrels to chase.
I’ve been standing outside of the forest lately in order to see the trees. When observing individual trees (or individual news items), their importance is magnified ; however, it is the forest as a whole that bears watching.
Some believe the action or words of a single individual, either good or bad, affects the entire community. That is not reality at all. It is the actions of the whole community that affects the individual. It can be a pretty vicious circle.

What if the “big picture” is the size of a postage stamp?
“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt.” -Atlas Shrugged
Yes, a vicious cycle.
The guy is Scott LoBaido. He leads crusades against illegal aliens being housed in schools and near parks and such in NYC. The pizza incident was a protest on city hall for housing illegals. He’s a damn fine patriot, and GEOTUS is a fan of his. He just had a movie premier at Mar-a-lago where Trump “crashed” the festivities.
Bigg Red, if you look him up he has a dirty NY mouth.
