According to the City of Tallahassee Police Department, a citizen sent in a video of Officer Tony Carlson shaving a homeless man's beard. The homeless man reportedly entered a McDonald's looking for a job. The restaurant told him they wouldn't hire him unless he shaved his beard. The officer witnessed this occurrence and offered to help. So the officer went and got some clippers and shaved the man's beard so he could go back and get a job! I am so proud to live in a community where our deputies and officers are such wonderful people. Good job Tallahassee Police Department!!!, the citizen said.     Poster Comment: Guess laws don't apply to cops. Criminal barbering? Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 11. #1. To: Deckard (#0) Guess laws don't apply to cops. Criminal barbering? “Here you go again”. The law doesn’t apply here because the police officer was not “criminally barbering.” You are such a dumbass and stretch reality beyond the limits in your blind hatred for cops. Your link points to and discusses the Florida law regarding opening or operating a barbershop without a license and operating as a barber in those shops where the barbers in those shops were CHARGING for a service. The video of the officer shaving the beard of a homeless man so the homeless man can apply for a job has gone viral and everyone is applauding the cop for his actions ….that is everyone but you, Scourge. A Florida police officer's act of kindness is going viral after he was seen on video so he could apply for a job at McDonald's. According to a post on the Tallahassee Police Department's Facebook page, a witness captured the deed on camera over the weekend. Kelly Duvall sent in a picture and video to the police department after her daughter filmed an officer shave a homeless man's beard outside a Circle K gas station on Thomasville Road, CBS affiliate WTSP-TV reports. She explains her daughter went inside the store and encountered Officer Carlson, who was cleaning himself up. "She offered to buy him a drink and got talking," she wrote. "Apparently the officer was at McDonald's next door and this gentleman went in looking for a job. He was told they wouldn't hire him unless he shaved his beard. So the officer went and got some clippers and shaved the man's beard so he could go back and get a job!" "I am so proud to live in a community where our deputies and officers are such wonderful people. Good job Tallahassee Police Department!!!" Duvall wrote. The video now has more than 24,000 views on Facebook. Carlson told the Tallahassee Democrat he saw the man named Phil trying to shave his beard, but he didn't have a mirror and was having trouble with a razor. So the officer fixed the razor and shaved his thick beard for him. "If he's wanting to help himself, I need to be more than helpful and try to help him out the best I can," Carlson said. "Hopefully from this, Phil will get a job." And on Monday, Phil returned to the McDonald's on Thomasville Road and officially took an application, according to a company spokesperson. Juan Vazquez, who is the McDonald's owner/operator of this location, told CBS News, "We are always looking to hire those who go the extra mile at my restaurants and this gentleman has proven himself to be willing to do just that." Vazquez added, "We look forward to having him come in to complete the application process and sit for an interview." I often wonder, Deckard, if the day will ever come when you can start to think and act like a rationally normal human being. But then I stop and realize that I fear not because I see your unbridled hatred is too far ingrained in your soul for any salvation to come between you are your RADICAL ideology where you blindly follow your sick agenda.

And you claim that you're the rational one here? Oh the IRONY!! You do like to use inflammatory words. It is ridiculous for you to say I am on a “jihad.” A jihad is a struggle or fight against the enemies of Islam. I am in no way fighting against the enemies of Islam. I am fighting to get you to see truth and to understand truth. You call the article “leftist screeds” but that is ALL you do and all you obviously can do. You NEVER prove the information to be in any way incorrect. Instead of proving the information is incorrect you merely post a barrage of retorts in your typically sharp, angry, and wittily incisive manner following the Liberator School of Denial Doctrine ....that being to always attack the messenger and never dispute the message. You say that libertarianism is “a liberty-friendly political ideology” while I say libertarianism is unacceptable with this short, simple dismissal of llibertarianism. 99% of libertarianism is obviously untrue or unacceptable for one or more of these reasons. My Gish Gallop through 40 (or more) reasons. How can we know that so easily? Here are some simple principles that make it obvious (though these problems are not unique to libertarianism.) For brevity and clarity, "many" and "most" are omitted: presume they are there. Ideology Libertarians can only agree with each other if they get so vague that their statements have no fixed meaning. It's the same way we know that no more than one religion could be right, and probably none are. Libertarians ignore anthropological knowledge of the nature of humans in favor of their idiotic ideology. Libertarians use vague glittering generalities of propaganda (terms like "liberty") rather than specifics such as "liberty for A to do B at an uncompensated cost C to D". Libertarian ideology is loaded with large numbers of words reinterpreted to circularly force their conclusions, perhaps worse than Marxist ideology is. Most libertarian writings are based on cherry-picked examples that give false impressions of the severity of existing problems and dismiss problems claiming libertarian solutions would work (despite practical evidence.) Libertarianism is domineering and totalitarian: nothing and nobody is excused from ownership and markets. No matter how impractical markets might be. Libertarian ideology pretends that society is so simple that maximizing one axis ("freedom") while ignoring others will lead to optimal results. It's an ideology that glorifies and justifies selfishness by painting altruism and empathy as evil. Libertarians claim they want a non-coercive society: providing you overlook all the most extensive coercion of all, protection of property. Liberty Libertarians value their own personal freedoms (especially property and guns) far above other freedoms or the freedom of others. No universalism or equality here: they want to be masters. Libertarians want to dictate which freedoms we get for all time, and don't want to allow others to choose their freedoms. Libertarianism privileges property rights (their "liberty") above all other values, narrowly redefining liberty in terms of property. Liberty and equality, spontaneity and security, happiness and knowledge, mercy and justice - all these are ultimate human values according to Isaiah Berlin. Libertarians demand that liberty trumps the other seven. Libertarians do not have a solution to the problem of freedom to sign away freedoms. Some think you should be able to sell yourself into slavery. Philosophy Libertarianism is based on imaginary "natural rights" (including property rights.) Real rights are creations of coercive human institutions such as law. Or libertarianism is based on utilitarianism which is not only flakey, but can obviously conflict with individual liberty. Libertarians ignore the fact that all real rights, including property, are coercive. Non-coercive "rights" are merely moral claims. Libertarian philosophy relies on channeling your attention away from hidden premises and towards trick examples and faulty generalizations. Society Libertarian views of society are dog-eat-dog in the market and servitude, charity, poverty or starvation for the losers. Libertarianism is a haven for angry racists, men's rights advocates, sovereign citizens, militias, child abusers, spouse abusers, scammers, frauds, pimps, pushers and others too noxious for ordinary society. Libertarians ignore ideas of equality and justice except to make the ludicrous claim that markets provide them. Libertarians have no concept of the common good. Economics Libertarians assume that modern markets are "natural", and ignore the government institutions which create them. Libertarian economic arguments are based on multiple, conflicting, unrealistic economic models such as "economic man" or "rational" man. Libertarians lie about the "free market": it is only an academic model. Actual markets differ enormously from the assumptions and behaviors of free market models. Libertarians have inadequate solutions for public goods problems. Libertarians just assume "the market will provide", even when millennia of history in hundreds of nations shows otherwise. Libertarians assume that freak examples of private provision are both desirable and can be extended everywhere.

Libertarians just assume "the market will provide", even when millennia of history in hundreds of nations shows otherwise. Libertarians assume that freak examples of private provision are both desirable and can be extended everywhere. Libertarians prefer the feudal property relations of business and markets to democracy. Libertarians ignore unequal power such as market power. Plutocracy Libertarians shill for the wealthy. The intellectual structure of modern libertarianism has been funded from the start by the wealthy and corporations as propaganda to serve their interests. Popular libertarianism is either subsidized at a loss by the wealthy or pushed by policy "entrepreneurs" who bilk angry old white men. Libertarians engage in corporate-funded denialism of science, history and economics. Libertarians ignore the special privileges and vast concentrations of wealth and power of corporations. Libertarian philosophy is a "one size fits all" procrustean bed that only addresses the desires of economic winners. It doesn't address the human needs of women, children, elderly, incompetent, sick, minorities and others who resent being forced into unjust market competitions. Government Libertarians argue as if government is monolithic when there are hundreds of competing nations and most contain balances of powers and delegate powers to many independent levels of smaller, subsidiary governments. Libertarians demonize government while ignoring the benefits of government. Libertarians are incapable of explaining why governments are so successful. Libertarians have no justification for any taxation even if they consider some government services (such as defense) necessary. There have never been any examples of libertarian nations. For more extensive discussion, see What Is Wrong With Libertarianism and Analyzing Libertarian Arguments. A few libertarians avoid some of these. The Friedman clan avoids natural rights, but suffers badly from preferring feudal relationships to democracy. A few, such as the "Bleeding Heart Libertarians" are aware of some of these problems and engage in elaborate contortions to delude themselves they can solve them. Smarter libertarians depart libertarianism when the cognitive dissonance becomes too great to withstand.

In classical Islamic law, the term jihad refers to armed struggle against unbelievers in Islam. Read it from Sharia the "Islamic law". I provided a link for you.
