“I don’t agree with hacking Orlando but it is wrong to arrest people who feed the homeless.”
If only it were that simple. Some of the folks who feed the homeless do so without adhering to basic food safety practices. If the homeless person gets sick tax payers pay for their care.
They also tend to attract homeless people to areas with the food. The homeless people then defecate wherever they want, make a mess and bother other people. Is it fair to business owners to have these homeless people camped out on their doorstep?
If homeless people want a meal there are numerous organized charities they can go to. Nobody will go hungry.
Here in Tampa there are lots of homeless people doing the same thing. Many are young people refusing to work and instead living off others.
Arrest or remove the homeless and put them in tax paid shelters where the homeless refuse to go and let them defacate there. Have the do-gooders visit the homeless in the shelters, along with their sandwiches to eat. Provide already paid taxes towards shovel ready jobs of keeping the parks cleaned, by continuing to haul the homeless to the shelters if they return to the parks. Problem solved!
