It’s a crime in Dallas to help homeless people?

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.
As a 2A liberal, I LOVE this. Black Panthers did it right, don’t change what works!
Fun fact: California’s anti-gun culture was born out of racism and fear of the Black Panthers.
Ronald fucking Reagan started the anti-gun movement to disarm black people
You love it? You don’t look at this and think “This can’t possibly be how a reasonable society works”?
Of course most of us don’t love it. A lot of us live in places where, due to concepts like gerrymandering, we have no political choice, so people have to resort to stuff like this. We love that people are fighting back, not that it has to be this way.
I’ve been following some of these folks on social media who do this every couple of weeks. It’s crazy. The police were arresting them for giving away food. So they went through the courts and won the right to feed homeless people. Crazy right. The even crazier part is the cops sit across the street every single time they give out free food and hygiene items and harass them, take photos and other ACAB sort of shit. 4-6 cruisers at a time. Insane.
Its only crazy if you don’t want to look at why they’re doing it square in the eye. Please don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t judge anyone doing it, presuming it does apply a little you yourself. I could be wrong of course. The truth is very, very ugly and not something anyone would want to be true.
Despite their claims, the problem was never the cost to the government of feeding the homeless, as can be seen. The reason the police do this is that wage slaves won’t be forced back into the worst, most poorly paid jobs we can find if they’re not facing death by starvation.
It was the same in the UK, back when they made feeding the homeless illegal and the penalty being being homeless OR without a job for 3 days was being sent to the workhouse where you might well be worked to death.
Its the same thing, centuries apart.
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.
The black panther method, 10 outta 10
