Activists sued Wednesday to strike down a new city law that makes it illegal to feed homeless people in parks. The law violates free speech, free assembly and other rights, says the federal suit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada.Fuck off you dickheads. How about you feed and house them then if you're so worried about it.

Why am I so uncaring about the homeless? Aren't they just displaced people? People who have been given a bad deal? Mentally impaired? Blah blah blah?
"The shelters provide food, beds, counseling services and doctors," he [City attorney Brad Jerbic] said. "What this is doing is, it's pulling them away from services and abandoning them in these parks."Ah. There's the rub.
We do take care of our homeless. But evidently, they get a better meal elsewhere. Trouble is, after you do-gooders pack up and leave for the day, the homeless are still there.
Not that I think giving them free meals, room and board, doctor visits, ... is doing them any good in the first place.

SO you think having a law mkaing it ILLEGAL to feed a stranger in a park is a good idea??
Sometimes you really baffle me.
I think they should earn thir keep just like the rest of us.
They could clean up the trash in the streets, paint over grafitti, ...
Giving awaay free meals only encourages stagnation.
"Why work when I don't have to?"
And like the article says, by drawing them away from the monitored areas, it only serves to degrade the services they are currently receiving.
