"One of the police officers said, 'Drop that plate right now,' as if I were carrying a weapon," said Abbott, who runs a nonprofit group called Love Thy Neighbor, Inc. "It's man's inhumanity to man is all it is."

They're not outright forbidding the feeding of homeless people, but rather they don't want them to be fed in public spaces like parks, on the street, etc.
Reminds me of city bylaws forbidding the feeding of pigeons. :(

Except pigeons are an actual pest that slowly destroys all the historical buildings who seriously need to fuck off, and not your brethren...
I would like to see something like that when I visit the park. It would tell me that my city is worth living in because it has community spirit and people are respected and granted a modicum of dignity within its boundaries.

That's just total bullshit. Where else are they supposed to be fed? Alleyways? They're unsanitary.

Apparently they expect you to feed them at your house instead of going where the people are.

This is pretty messed up.
Apparently it's some new city law to "forbid public food sharing".
Does that mean a mother can't pass an ice cream cone to her kid while walking down the street?

This is sad, I teared up a little. That 90 year old man is amazing though, we need more people like him.
I wouldn't be surprised if the city forbids talking to homeless people in the future.
'MURICA!

What the fuck in the world gave them the right mind to create such a law?!

Over here, there are charity cafeterias and whatnot.

Actually, it's a pretty old law and it doesn't forbid "public food sharing," but rather large-scale distribution. Sharing food with friends/family is not the same as organizing an event for a large number of people. In many places, you need a license to be able to legally do this. This requirement is more common when it's done on public grounds, but there have even been cases in the US where government officials literally crashed parties on private land where home-cooked food was distributed. They destroyed the food because it didn't pass USDA inspection of something stupid like that. As such, I'm not terribly shocked by this article.

I pictured a lady getting tackled by the swat team after doing that.
