2019 sounds like so far in the past…
Texas must have fixed those stupids rules? Maybe they have fixed the houses crisis…
Please I really could use some hope right now
Here are the current Dallas ordinances on feeding the homeless. It looks like it’s legal if you notify the city 24+ hours in advance and abide by certain food safety and hygiene measures. Still seems pretty onerous to me
Texas boggles my mind because it’s such a blue state with some of the deepest red politicians running the place.
Congressional districts should have a perimiter-area ratio limit, and the largest district should not be allowed to contain 10% more people than the smallest district.
A whole lot of empty land seems to have really important votes, since theirs seems to count for more than mine.
It’s a crime in Dallas to help homeless people?
For the uninitiated: https://www.beliefnet.com/news/2003/09/the-gospel-of-supply-side-jesus.aspx
It’s generally not allowed to create an ad hoc aid group. It’s bullshit.
The “reasoning” is the are no permits/ food safety licenses, etc.
But obviously that’s bullshit given the alternatives.
Does being armed actually deter cops in Texas? In my home country being armed is more likely to alert cops
Yes, it deters the cops. You have to understand that many or most cops are paranoid, cowards, and bullies. They aren’t going around enforcing laws because they think that they need to uphold justice. Rather, they’re going around power tripping. And it’s not such a great power trip if you have to worry about getting shot because people think that you’re dirty.
Of course this is not true for all cops all the time, but it’s certainly true for many cops most of the time.
*American cops.
Everything you just said would not be true of, for example, Danish cops. Or French cops, for that matter.
The French cops who brawled with firefighters and other protestors during the pension reform?
The police are an arm of the state formed specifically for the purpose of maintaining a societies class structure because the laws they enforce are dictated by that societies ruling class. French and Danish cops absolutely will do whatever the state tells them because its their job, they are law enforcers not law interpreters. One day shit will go down hill for the French and Danish ruling class and when that happens they will use their law enforcers to maintain their standard of living which is to say their positions of power and wealth. This is very normal and becomes quite clear when you learn the history of labor and civil rights movements all over the world.
The French cops are notoriously dirty, my friend. They have their own similar issues. We saw this during the protests a while back, and that’s even international news…
A dozen armed people attract cops.
A couple hundred armed people repel cops.
You know you’re on the wrong side of history when you make it illegal to give to those most in need.
And have to be visibly armed to stop the cops from harassing you for doing so.
And claiming to be a devout Christian while making these laws is ludicrous.
Yeah, this definitely is one of the more ludicrous things Christians have done. The crusades and the child molestation I was okay with, the inquisition just sounds like an awesome time for everyone, and shoving your religion down the throat of everyone else is just what you do sometimes when you feel you’re right. But making laws against feeding homeless people really makes me wonder if maybe Christians are a bit wrong sometimes.
