aVian Offer Upgrade User ID: 805698 United States 01/16/2011 08:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	City of Houston puts a stop to Homeless Outreach Warm Meals [link to www.activistpost.com] Bobby and Amanda Herring spent more than a year providing food to homeless people in downtown Houston every day. They fed them, left behind no trash and doled out warm meals peacefully without a single crime being committed, Bobby Herring said. That ended two weeks ago when the city shut down their "Feed a Friend" effort for lack of a permit. And city officials say the couple most likely will not be able to obtain one. "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves, in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." - Frédéric Bastiat food, water, ammo, weapons, battery back up solar, hand well pump, wood stove and 1 year of food...oh yeah PM's too...good luck

Will you need a permit to give your neighbor a cup of milk? I hope they keep doing it and press the issue. After being arrested on bogus charges they can sue and give that money to the homeless.

Smilin' Irish Eyes User ID: 656642 United States 01/16/2011 09:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: City of Houston puts a stop to Homeless Outreach Warm Meals Wow, this is so sad that someone doing something charitable and out of their own pocket is being denied because of a "permit". Who the hell complained about this or who was offended that someone was actually trying to help? But, it also doesn't surprise me. Back in the 1970s/early 1980s my family used to help out in the Soup Kitchens, serving meals; I wanted to pass that along to my kids, was told that we couldn't serve the meals unless we had a "food handlers" license.
