It's a crime in Dallas to help homeless people?
Chaotic Good
A place to post examples of chaotic good actions.
Yeah, it's what Jesus would want, didn't you know?
Supply-side Jesus is the worst Jesus.
For the uninitiated: https://www.beliefnet.com/news/2003/09/the-gospel-of-supply-side-jesus.aspx
It's generally not allowed to create an ad hoc aid group. It's bullshit.
The "reasoning" is the are no permits/ food safety licenses, etc.
But obviously that's bullshit given the alternatives.
not just in Dallas
You know you're on the wrong side of history when you make it illegal to give to those most in need.
And have to be visibly armed to stop the cops from harassing you for doing so.
And people are banning books.
And claiming to be a devout Christian while making these laws is ludicrous.
The black panther method, 10 outta 10
Yep. This is it.
And that’s a factor in generating early gun control laws, black people exercising their rights.
As a 2A liberal, I LOVE this. Black Panthers did it right, don't change what works!
Fun fact: California's anti-gun culture was born out of racism and fear of the Black Panthers.
Ronald fucking Reagan started the anti-gun movement to disarm black people
I've been following some of these folks on social media who do this every couple of weeks. It's crazy. The police were arresting them for giving away food. So they went through the courts and won the right to feed homeless people. Crazy right. The even crazier part is the cops sit across the street every single time they give out free food and hygiene items and harass them, take photos and other ACAB sort of shit. 4-6 cruisers at a time. Insane.
Its only crazy if you don't want to look at why they're doing it square in the eye. Please don't get me wrong, I wouldn't judge anyone doing it, presuming it does apply a little you yourself. I could be wrong of course. The truth is very, very ugly and not something anyone would want to be true.
Despite their claims, the problem was never the cost to the government of feeding the homeless, as can be seen. The reason the police do this is that wage slaves won't be forced back into the worst, most poorly paid jobs we can find if they're not facing death by starvation.
It was the same in the UK, back when they made feeding the homeless illegal and the penalty being being homeless OR without a job for 3 days was being sent to the workhouse where you might well be worked to death.
Its the same thing, centuries apart.
Damn, giving food and clothes is a crime.
It's food serving legislation being taken too far. The clothes I think are fine, but since they're not inspected by the health department like a restaurant the government can technically shut it down which is complete bullshit.
So if I buy the food let's say 100 burgers from a fast food joint. That would be ok right?
Anecdotally, I don't think so. I used to do some work with a place that did a lot of charity work and would get together bi-weekly to talk about travel and have a banquet. The banquet was always prepared and served in accordance with the law, and there were often tons of leftovers. So we would give the leftovers to the homeless. The health department fined us because we weren't allowed to serve food outside of our establishment.
Texas boggles my mind because it's such a blue state with some of the deepest red politicians running the place.
A whole lot of empty land seems to have really important votes, since theirs seems to count for more than mine.
Now I understand why americans need guns.
Too bad this is an extremely rare use case, but yes this is exactly the INTENT of the second amendment.
I mean, that was always the point.
To fight tyrannical bullshit.
It's just that purist assholes don't want any regulation whatsoever - so that anyone, anyone can get a gun. And welp.... the tragic bullshit happens.
I'm not pro-gun or anti-gun. I'm pro-common-sense.
I hate that this is true.
Every single protest should have an armed contingent in America. That is the only way cops will take you seriously, but make sure you dot the i's and cross the t's, because your permits better be current.
Are you ok over there? Do you need something? Like healthcare and a social state?
Does being armed actually deter cops in Texas? In my home country being armed is more likely to alert cops
Yes, it deters the cops. You have to understand that many or most cops are paranoid, cowards, and bullies. They aren't going around enforcing laws because they think that they need to uphold justice. Rather, they're going around power tripping. And it's not such a great power trip if you have to worry about getting shot because people think that you're dirty.
Of course this is not true for all cops all the time, but it's certainly true for many cops most of the time.
It stopped the cops from entering a school while someone slaughtered 19 kids and 2 adults and that was just 1 person with a gun. So I'd say this would.
Have you heard about Uvalde?
Cops only punch down
And that's how you properly fuck, fuck, fuck the police.
Lol we are so fucked.
More of this, please
They could skip the middle step and just arm the homeless
