Community service should be a far more common sentence than it is.
In all honesty it’s not really even a punishment. It’s paying the community back for causing it harm.
Easy loophole: befriend them.
Ask them for their name. Tell them yours. It’s not illegal to eat pizza with a friend, and in that instance their situation otherwise is not relevant at all.Fuck anyone who has an issue with it. Keep feeding people who have it rough, if you want.

Food Not Bombs in Houston gets ticketed all the time by cops who simply do not give a shit about the law. Tens of thousands of dollars in fines get thrown out every year. It doesn’t matter, because the cops keep showing up and keep handing out tickets, forcing volunteers to keep showing up in court and fighting over it.

Absolutely. People love to pretend that “Sticking it too the man!” means throwing on a balaklava and brandishing a gun. The harder truth is that its about keeping our neighbors alive when the city is trying to do them in through social murder.
But let’s not pretend there’s One Neat Trick to outwitting a thumb-headed trigger-happy gang of rent-a-fascists. You aren’t going to argue your way out of a ticket for feeding the homeless any more than a sovereign citizen could. Cops aren’t there to argue with you. They’re there to put the boot on your neck.
Sounds like someone needs to get in the city council, or become mayor or something, and change more of the rules about homelessness. Can’t anyone with compassion for the poor run for mayor these days?
Joke aside, giving homeless people isn’t actually illegal right? That’d be almost as insane as half the stuff the US has inacted lately.
Edit: oh wow, that is disgunstingly inhumane and I have no idea how someone can support policy that bans charity and still sleep at night.
Armed to deter cops? Wouldn’t that give them more reasons though?
Cops don’t like fair fights. And they really don’t like it when people are carrying guns that will send bullets straight through their lvl III plates.
“Oh shit those guys know their rights and are armed, I’m reconsidering my power tripping. :F”
It’s very ironic that basically that Black Panthers were the reason for gun control laws. That, like someone said today, the only way to make things happen in the US is when the rich white people become utterly scared.
On that note…
Unfortunately, it probably doesn’t take many Brian Thomspons before Republicans start saying, huh, y’know, maybe gun bans are okay after all…
