Sam Kinison was right:

"MOVE TO WHERE THE FOOD IS!"

And the professional bums always know where that is.

Another U.S. City Outlaws Feeding Homeless People

Misleading headline of the day...

As a frequent visitor to Orlando, I am amazed that such a city could be relatively conservative. So many transients and tourists..

It applies to public property. Those who want to feed the homeless are free to do so on their own private property, but they are not the public and have no inherent right to even be on public land.

How many people opposed to outlawing feeding the homeless actually live near these parks?

She probably had to go a week without food to get down to that size, she looks a little slimmer than normal for that type.

Nobody is stopping the Food Not Bombs organization from gathering the homeless and taking them to houses and apartments of the Food Not Bombs members and feeding them there.

Orlando is trying to keep charitable groups from feeding the homeless in downtown parks.

The headline absolutely stinks.

Authorize more shelters away from the parks--would that help the homeless/transient problem?

I can't believe that they are trying to hide the homeless problem! We need to drop everything and fix the problem right now! In this 3% unemployment environment the HUGE homeless problem here in Orlando just keeps getting worse. If that unemployment rate continues to drop or hold steady people might start to see that those without jobs and income have chosen crack, meth and mad dog 20/20 over working to pay rent or a mortgage.
How dare the city keep mobs of pleasantly smelling, polite, upstanding citizens from standing around to await thier well deserved free meal in the park, right in the heart of the down town business district. These people never, ever harrass anyone or go off begging for money, toss trash in the grass or crap and pee in the elevator of the parking garage right across from the park.

HAVE WE GONE MAD?

The average person I see is much much heavier than back in the fifties and sixties. Apparently the average weight goes up in direct proportion to the sales of diet foods and weight loss programs. Or is it the other way around?

I am sure of one thing, back then I would have stopped traffic (six four and two hundred and fifty five pounds) nowadays few people even seem to notice my size.

What about water??

They arrested a little girl just for trying to give a drink to a helpless individual in Fl.

There would have to be more to this story that the simple line you have thrown out.
