I’m glad to see the police are on top of this year long string of crimes.

"barring individuals from serving food in public"

Well, there goes tailgating at the Daytona 500. Or beach picnics. Or church socials. Or company picnics.

... The Crime Of Feeding Homeless People
No, the crime was individuals serving food in a public park - didn't matter if the recipients had a home or not.
If Chico and Debbie Jimenez feel the "calling," I suggest they open a homeless dining room - maybe in their own back yard.

[TexasCajun]

That'll be $ 1,000.00 for a city food license and monthly inspections.

...yes, even if you're giving free meals to the needy.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Just like I said, fascism spreads. Despot Mike Bloomberg when he was in office would regularly have food donated to the homeless confiscated, and I said just watch: This is going to spread, and here we are - Now you get fined.

How to Feed the Homeless in Dayonta Beach, Florida

[Lorianne]

Yikes! That could have happened to me.

Years ago KFC had a deal that gave a huge bucket family meal for virtually the same price as a smaller meal. Since I just wanted one white meat piece for lunch I’d buy the whole family bucket (with to-go accoutrements). I’d ask them to put my one piece in a separate bag for my lunch. Then I dropped off the rest of it in a park nearby where I worked and were there were a lot of homeless people. I’d place the entire huge bag on a park bench and say Free Chicken! to those standing around.

It’s like feeding stray cats or wildlife; they’ll come to expect it and bring their pals.

[forgotten man]

I would not want people feeding homeless people in my neighbor hood. I am if favor of helping the needy, but not this way. In my area we have plenty of non profits that feed the homeless in clean dining rooms. Feeding the homeless in parks is like feeding feral cats and pigeons. It is a mess and unsanitary.

From the article -

The Jimenez's contend that the area's homeless agencies don't want to lose people to outside feedings because that means fewer of them come to the agencies — which means less funding.

Folks, this is the real issue. Government workers are going after the Jimenez's, because these people are a threat of those big time government salaries.

[I want the USA back]

Welcome to the usa, where no good deed goes unpunished.

The left needs a permanent underclass. It wants millions of people kept down and out. How dare you try to alleviate their misery!

[justa-hairyape]

Let me see if I got this straight.

The government is not feeding these people,

and fining anyone who tries to feed them ?

Obviously government is trying to kill these people through mass starvation.

Same ole. Same ole.
