A woman is set to appear in court today for handing out food to homeless people.

Adele MacLean was arrested in November after she refused to stop feeding people in need in Hurt Park, Atlanta. The good Samaritan, who works with anti-capitalist group Food not Bombs, told CBS: Well feed probably at least maybe 100 people today

Why are they setting up barriers for taking care of human needs?

Its not the homeless making the city look like this. Its people driving down the streets in $60,000 cars throwing stuff out the window and making a mess.

Georgia State University police said: Those who feed outdoors with no facilities, sanitation, food safety to prevent food borne illness and no order, create serious issues as hundreds gather for a meal.FCC chairman drinks from ridiculously oversized mug as he ends net neutrality

Mayor Kasim Reed said at the time: I am proud to announce that with the unanimous approval of the Atlanta City Council, we will move forward with our $50 million commitment to make homelessness rare and brief in the City of Atlanta.

We now have the opportunity to end chronic homelessness in our city, and ensure that all women, men and children regardless of circumstance have the chance to live stable, meaningful lives and participate fully in their communities.

The issue isn't that they don't want the homeless fed. The issue is doing things like this drives them AWAY from food kitchens and shelters where the city can do a much better job of providing support. This woman could volunteer at her local food kitchen if she wants to feed them so badly, but instead she's going to cost her city tons of money fighting this nonsense and actively making it harder to help the homeless all so she can sleep better at night.

That's literally not even the excuse the city is using to arrest her.

They're claiming they had to arrest her because it causes too much illness to give 100 people some food.

It's just bullshit upon bullshit.

Are they wrong? Who is there to make sure that proper sanitation guidelines are followed?

It's bullshit. It's a meal for 100 people.

1 afternoon of being given food that may or may not follow government sanitation guidelines for preparing food is less dangerous than 1 night sleeping rough.

It's not a reason to arrest them for helping the homeless.

I remember that story about a church getting fined by the city because they were a shelter.

The issue is that sometimes people are terrible

Same reason you can be fined for feeding the geese. When they have food, they don't go away.

I'm not mad, dude. I was suggesting a possible reason for why they would even bother to go after this woman. Charity work is to be lauded, and I don't think most reasonable people would try to stop a woman like this unless they thought they had a good reason.

Do you just walk around assuming republicans are in a frothing rage all the time?

The obvious reason was, the city doesn't want homeless people congregating right there.

Isn't that more or less the same thing I originally said?
