The old man is not far from me.....they passed an ordinance recently, which I think was aimed kinda at him. What they need to do is eliminate homelessness.

Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

I have stopped trying to help beyond my donations to our church poor fund. My moment came when I drove thru the mickey D's and picked up a bag of burgers, etc. for a 'please help homeless' sign holder near Clearwater Beach, Fl. He was so pissed at me for the food rather than drug money he kicked my car door and then threw the food at me through the window. All the while screaming what a no good MFTAHole I was. I know, one crazy crack head nut job shouldn't spoil the whole batch but it was enough to shut me down. Beyond that and to the point, The laws they pass are so stupid it boggles the mind considering what they may have considered but not passed....yet. The guy may have had a point... I like Burger King better, too.

Here's a perspective from a Ft. Lauderdale cop.
Quote:
This is our current issue here in FT lauderdale that has made national news (I'm sure you have seen). -even the Colbert report. It seems like such a non issue compared to the real danger we deal with all the time. But, It is not fun having your face smeared all over the news. This is not the first time that I have been involved in something that has been in the news. But it just solidifies my hate for how the media is purely biased and you can never really get cold hard facts anymore.
Just a minor run down of our new ordinance; it does not state that you cannot ever feed the homeless, it just created certain provisions for mass feelings of the homeless. Such as, providing restrooms, having a wash basin to wash your hands, a way to remove waste properly, permission from the property owner, proper food storing temperatures, etc.
I do not hate the homeless. Homelessness encompasses so many factors that just feedings alone will not solve. It is unfortunately and issue that we will likely never be resolved. Growing up I even volunteered in a soup kitchen at my local church -ironically it fits our new M.O. Criteria. LOL. My issue is that regardless of whether you believe the ordinance is right or not, you are still violating a law. Therefore, you deserve to be cited or arrested. I do not have the liberty to pick and choose which laws I enforce.
Anyway, I just needed to vent. This sucks.

The problem is, they are crapping everywhere, in doorways and alleys...and congregating like stray dogs looking to get fed. Gainesville has porta potties for 'em. And, just like stray dogs who get fed, they stay. The cop is right, the media always posts the side of the problem that is guaranteed to cause the most dissension, and seldom print both sides of the facts. That crap started with that Commie Cronkite and grows worse each day
