“Feeding alone or giving out clothing or camping equipment doesn’t address the core issues of being homeless.”

Many of the homeless are mentally ill, and homeless by choice. They'd rather live under a bridge than be confined to an institution where they would receive care.

Can we even slip them a protein bar, calling it “candy”?

I guess not, if it doesn’t have Queen Michelle’s stamp of approval displayed prominently on the wrapper.

This country is now certifiable, a few bricks short of a load, a few bubbles off plumb, nuts, and disnintegrating faster than those new-fangled packing peanuts.

Time to take to my bed and cry.

My Lord and Savior told me to feed His sheep. That outweighs man’s law.

The law pertains to do-gooders who open up a “soup kitchen” on the street with no regard for the community at large.

People can open soup kitchen that have planning and permits.

Hippies say that too. Don’t plan on opening a soup kitchen in the business part of Manhattan without problems.

This is sucker bait.

No, but you can slip them a few bucks to buy some booze or meth.

Hippies claim Christ wanted them to feed the homeless? In which galaxy?

I just cannot see the benefit in regulating these charitable works to death. Its precisely this kind of thing that causes the dependency on government, as it replaces what ordinary citizens are often capable of and willing to do themselves.

If I want to go into a city and help the homeless by providing a hot meal, should I really be jumping through a million hoops and fine-print documents?

This is sucker bait.

And it's catching quite a few.

Maybe you’re not old enough.

You can’t open a free soup kitchen on the busiest intersection of your city without problems.

What? Oh, btw, the law in NYC allows me to vend from the sidewalk without a permit. Do you know why?

Can you open a soup kitchen in front of the New York Stock Exchange?

No!

This topic is dumped here by Liberals periodically.

You’re never going to get anywhere arresting, priests, pastors and imams in the street.”

Umm. We routinely hear immans recruiting in prisons looking for violent followers useful for intimidating the masses. But, show me one report of an imman circulating among the homeless to provide them comfort. Give me a break.
