Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist Dallas, TX — Feeding and clothing the homeless in the land of the free has now become a revolutionary act. Luckily, however, there are still good people willing to carry out that act. In December 2014, the Dallas city council enacted Ordinance No. 29595, which makes it illegal to serve food to the homeless without jumping through a statist myriad of bureaucratic hoops, including a fee, training classes, and written notices. One should not need to file multiple forms and pay a fee to obtain a permit to give food to those in need who are willingly ready to accept it. The folks at Don’t Comply know this. Matthew Short, with the aptly named organization, Don’t Comply, and dozens of volunteers from children to adults alike took to the streets of Dallas this week to hand out food, sleeping bags, clothing, and tents to the area’s less fortunate. As TFTP has reported on numerous occasions, often times, police will swoop in and shut down those who would dare defy the authority of the state and conduct charity without a permit. However, most organizations aren’t like Don’t Comply. As they took to the streets this week, many of the members of the organization open carried their weapons. This was done—not out of an act of intimidation—but merely to assert rights as well as protect them. The resultant heavily armed group of do-gooders effectively staved off any attempts by police to shut down the charitable efforts. In talking with TFTP, Short tells us that although police drove by fairly often, they never stopped and never attempted to intervene. Success. “We are not complying with a bad law today,” Short, who is the PR director of Don’t Comply said, echoing the sentiment from all of those in attendance this year. “Evidently the city of Dallas believes that it’s wrong, or bad, or unlawful for us to feed more than a certain number of people at a time. But, during Christmas, we want to show love to our community and give these people a chance to survive the winter, whether it be with blankets or coats, or just giving them a holiday party like today with all kinds of cookies, and goodies, turkey and dressing, and the whole nine yards.” Dubbed “Feed the Need 5,” this was the fifth year in a row the group has conducted the event. Below is the most amazing video showing the results of good people breaking bad laws. As TFTP has reported at length, the war on the homeless, as well as the war on those who want to help them, is relentless. Just last month, during Thanksgiving, a group giving out food in Atlanta was shut down by police because they failed to pay the state for permission to give food to voluntary recipients. On Friday, TFTP reported on a new law in Kansas—which appears to be a trend across the country—that allows police to fine and even arrest people not for feeding the homeless but for simply giving them money. Sadly, the state’s endless desire to generate revenue and oppress rights has led to a system which requires permits for just about every activity not just feeding the homeless. This permitting process acts as a stranglehold on those trying to make a living—keeping them in a perpetual state of poverty. In May, the Alameda County Sheriff’s department posted a photo of a deputy arresting a man for selling fruits and vegetables on the roadside and attempted to justify the arrest. When people read the department’s justification, they lashed out — peacefully — to let them know what they were doing is wrong. In June, a 38-year-old homeless man was attempting to earn some honest money by providing a much-desired service of bicycle repair to the residents of Kennewick, Washington when he was threatened with extortion and arrest by the local police department, which effectively ended his enterprise. After the Kennewick Police Department threatened the homeless man and prevented him from making a living, they took to Facebook to shamelessly brag about it. The man was told that while it was illegal for him to fix bicycles, he could certainly beg for money.

Someone dies and the guys with the AR-15's will be nowhere to be found.
Once upon a time, sixty homeless people were hospitalized in Denver when the largest food poisoning outbreak occurred among the homeless in the past decade. Some of the good Samaritan citizens can’t decide if they want to feed the homeless for Christmas or to give them food poisoning. The facilities preparing food for the homeless needs to be carefully and continually health inspected.
His mother accidentally dropped him on his head -- four times. Yep, that has to be the reason.
Seriously? That's what they did? The only thing they did was give food to the homeless without asking the government for permission. Yeah - I can see why that hurts your feelings. I bake a cake and give it to my neighbor without a permission slip from the State. I can give them some of my leftovers as well. This really isn't any different. It's because government wants us to give them the money to dole out food. So they make it difficult for others. If memory serves, NYC had some ordnances in place in the Dinkins years where people could not feed the homeless with food prepared in a home kitchen. You had to get some sort of health permit.
Now if your neighbor is a homeless person ….then that is a whole different ball game. There is a law/ordinance that says you can’t make it your mission to go out and feed the homeless people without the food having been prepared in a health inspected facility.
What if the food will be from peoples own home kitchens? Should people be allowed to eat in their own homes without government people like you controlling it? Are government officials the safest cooks and food preparers? Should private families be under supervision of the officials? Should children be raised by the government officials?
Should people be allowed to eat in their own homes without government people like you controlling it? I think we all know his answers to those questions. Aside from your sick obsession with poop and men's anuses - now you seem to be suggesting that these food donors deliberately contaminated the food they gave away. There is a law/ordinance that says you can’t make it your mission to go out and feed the homeless people without the food having been prepared in a health inspected facility. Oh that's right - you want to see little kids' lemonade stands shut down for not having a license as well. It's a fact that there have been many more cases of people being poisoned by restaurants and other government approved businesses and "health inspected facilities" than by groups acting in the spirit of Christmas and feeding those who are less fortunate. What if the food will be from peoples own home kitchens? As has been repeatedly stated: ALL food for the homeless MUST be prepared in a health inspected facility. I eat each day in my own home with no government people controlling me. Are you having a problem with government people controlling you eating in your own home? The government officials do no cooking or food preparing….unless they may be avolunteer at a soup kitchen after work hours. Then they are of course not consider government officials since they are not there in a official capacity. I think that Deckard, Hondo and Bucky might qualify as needing this supervision. I know of no place they are….except of course maybe some juvenile detention centers.
I eat each day in my own home with no government people controlling me. You are not answering the question, you are using misdirection.
Besides, you devious asshole, you attempted to skew your analogy to bias your argument using the same method you use on your cop-hating positons. It’s a fact there are millions and millions more people eating in restaurants and other government approved business and "health inspected facilities" than there homeless people eating anywhere. That’s MILLIONS and MILLIONS more people.
Besides, I have long firmly held the opinion: ”There are no such thing as Stupid Questions.” I no longer believe that….and as I now, I am here today to testify to the world that there are.
So Johnny, that being the case….then pray tell why
Really man - seek help for your Coprophilia. Now THAT was really "Immature" and "Amateurish." At least TRY to do SOMETHING to hold my ATTENTION. Yawn …
Merry Anarchist Christmas!
If you are dissatisfied with my responses….then you are free to go pester someone else. This was not a response, it was a lame attempt to hoodwink and bamboozle. I just wondered what is your next trick and you provided it "you are free to go pester someone else".
Don't be afraid, you can come out of closet. This is a free speech zone.
Just as we are free to laugh at this self touted "gallant" former 'major', -- or is he in reality the former Admiral of refrigerators? I
Because they have AR-15's.
Because they have AR-15's. --- misterwhite Does misterwhite imagine he's funny too, like the phony major? Of course he is, in the same twisted way. The giggles guys strike again..
Agree completely !! Just observe nature and one will see it. It also applies to the ghetto apes ( of all colors ) It is one reason, among others, that we should abolish all welfare, or at a minimum GREATLY reduce it !!! Taxpayers should not be forced to finance it. Politicians that promote it should be removed from office !! Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. Never Pick A Fight With An Old Man He Will Just Shoot You He Can't Afford To Get Hurt "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." (Will Rogers)
Filthy inner city potatos. Snowflakes frown upon the term "ape, chimp or monkey". lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
It is one reason, among others, that we should abolish all welfare, or at a minimum GREATLY reduce it !!! Taxpayers should not be forced to finance it. Politicians that promote it should be removed from office !! Agree 100%. Unfortunately, our populace has been weakened and pussified to be able to mentally cope with some of the end results of this ideology. In the wild, not ever animal lives a long easy life. It's part of the checks and balances of any species. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Can you spare a dime, bro?
You are like herpes simplex 10... you never go away.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Where is your compassion for your fellow mankind this tyme of year?
No time of year is ideal to make sheep dependent. Dumb shit. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
For your gift reward about being curious in investing in marijuana stocks ... Santa tells me to not provide any data from my accounts. You know, this tyme of the year, I have to listen to Santa. But because its Christmas tyme and all that AWESOME world around us, I will ignore Santa and provide data based on your purity of being. You have to agree to the following about your life to the end of tyme: Do you agree to abide by these three moral principles?
Look, poopie plunger, investing is a self generated means of independence. A way to financially survive without needing some weak filthy snowflake to feel so bad that they have to give me free food down some dirty alley near a garbage dumpster. You keep espousing making the sheep dependent, stupid and high... and I'll continue with my self reliance. I don't need your help...cock knock. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I asked you straight forward considerations not based on relativism as you seem to describe. I can only say you opted for lying, cheating and stealing in life. And that means you lie, cheat and steal with ALL around yourself to include this chit-chat channel. I will not go forward with revealing any marijuana stocks with you. GO FUCK YOURSELF.
Jesus Was Born in a Police State Had Jesus lived today and attempted to feed large crowds of people, he would have been threatened with arrest for violating various ordinances prohibiting the distribution of food without a permit. Florida officials arrested a 90-year-old man for feeding the homeless on a public beach. " inner city potatos " That is funny. I like that ! But my description " ghetto apes " more accurately describes their actions & mental capabilities . Although your " inner city potatos " accurately describes their mental abilities, LOL. Snowflakes frown upon the term "ape, chimp or monkey". Well, if the snowflakes do not like it, they can ESAD !! BTW, I hope your grand daughter is recovering well !!! Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. Never Pick A Fight With An Old Man He Will Just Shoot You He Can't Afford To Get Hurt "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." (Will Rogers)
Whether Jesus was born in a police state or not can be argued. But it would be hard to argue that he did not die in a police state. Anyplace where the authorities can nail you to a cross and let you die can definitely be seen as a police state. That’s a ridiculous analogy....not worth addressing. Uh-huh [Thanks, misterwhite]
The guy has way more balls (and compassion) than you will ever have. Maybe, who knows. But he surely doesn’t’ have the great intellect I have. I would not have been arrested for feeding the homeless because of violating the law. I would have used my superior faculty of reasoning and have a clear understanding of the law to objectively find a way to feed the homeless with no problems. But then, I will pit brains and rational planning versus balls and compassion any time. Too bad you cannot realize that....life would be a lot easier for you if you could.
Great idea! Let's bring all the homeless, vagrants, drug addicts and mentally ill down to the public beach so they can mingle with the taxpayers and their families and maybe sing Kumbaya.
Good grief! Get over yourself you self-aggrandizing and arrogant ass. I can’t block out reality like you do. “Truth is truth wherever it is spoken.” Someday you will face the truth about yourself. When you do....please try not to take it so hard.

… giving food poisoning
Yea, SERIOUSLY ….Once upon a time, sixty homeless people were SERIOUSLY hospitalized in Denver when the largest food poisoning outbreak occurred among the homeless in the past decade.
Seriously? … giving food poisoning….That's what they did?
Not yet, they didn’t….not this time.
But that is what they could do….give food poisoning.
It has been done by good Samaritans. The only thing they did was give food to the homeless without asking the government for permission.
Nope, that’s not the only thing they did.
They gave food to the homeless prepared in a facility that was not health inspected.
That was THE problem.
Their problem had nothing to do with asking the government for permission. Yeah - I can see why that hurts your feelings.
Never hurt my FEELINGS at all.
I FEEL great….I never ate the health uninspected food. I bake a cake and give it to my neighbor without a permission slip from the State.
It’s okay if your run your finger up your butt hole every few minutes while you are baking the cake to give to your neighbor and if your neighbor wants to eat the cake, that’s between you two. And, yes….you can do that without a permission slip for the State. I can give them some of my leftovers as well.
Same answer….even if you use a different finger to run up your butt hole …. This really isn't any different.
Oh, but there is a difference.
There is a big difference.
And that difference is called….wait for it….a law/ordinance.

I personally can see no reason why people could not arrange to have their own home kitchens health inspected. Should people be allowed to eat in their own homes without government people like you controlling it?
Albeit my wife does from time to time….but wait, she is no government person. Are government officials the safest cooks and food preparers?
Should private families be under supervision of the officials?
Should children be raised by the government officials?

Aside from your sick obsession with poop and men's anuses -
In no way an obsession. It’s just that each time I see either your name, Bucky’s name or Hondo’ name on the screen, I think of shit and what assholes you all are. - now you seem to be suggesting that these food donors deliberately contaminated the food they gave away.
No, I am acknowledging that sixty homeless people in Denver got food poisoning from contaminated food….I never in any way mention deliberately. That’s something your brain fart came up with. I only said the food must be prepared in a health inspected kitchen….and what I said is a fact you cannot argue with. Oh that's right - you want to see little kids' lemonade stands shut down for not having a license as well.
Oh that’s wrong – you telling me what I want to see. I will DECIDED what I want to see….NOT you. It's a fact that there have been many more cases of people being poisoned by restaurants and other government approved businesses and "health inspected facilities" …
You think that profound statement would make the families of those sixty homeless people who had food poisoning in Denver feel any better….to know that some more people had it worse than the did? I fear it would not. And you no doubt realize that too….along with realizing the stupidity of your analogy. …groups acting in the spirit of Christmas and feeding those who are less fortunate.
