Well-Armed Activists Openly Defy Texas Law To Feed The Homeless – Hundreds Clothed And Fed:

(Matt Agorist) When feeding the homeless becomes an act of civil disobedience, Americans have been asleep for far too long.
Luckily, however, there are still good people who are willing to defy such arbitrary and ill-conceived laws and ordinances.
The folks over at the aptly named organization Don’t Comply, took to the streets just outside the Austin Street Shelter in Dallas this weekend to perform, what has now become a revolutionary act – feeding the homeless.

The following debate originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Another Perfect Example of the State Using Public Tax Dollars to ‘Take Care’ of the Homeless“…
Rayn: Is this that “compassion for the poor” y’all imagined your tax dollars pay for? Suckers!
It’s just like those helpful “vagrancy” laws, used by the State to harass, fine and imprison the homeless.
“Without government, who will build the spikes where homeless people sleep?”
Jonas A.: 😡
Lutz S.: Nastural selection. If you end up homeless, you 90% are either a drunk, junkie, or mentally disordered.
Lutz S.: Those genes need to go tf away
Rayn: Unsubstantiated, accusatory, and patently false…
“Nearly one-quarter of all homeless people (23 percent or 138,149) were homeless children under the age of 18, and 30 percent of sheltered homeless people were children.”

For three and a half years, my family and I were homeless, living in the NYC shelter system nightmare. I was twelve when we entered, and fifteen when we finally escaped.
Jesus G.: without government who will be able to read/watch Superman cartoons! Spider-man anyone? 😮

The following debate originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Brooke N…
Brooke N.:
“So you want the government to ‘stop giving poor people free stuff’? Funny how you don’t care about the $70 billion a year we spend on subsidizing Wall St. Banks, the $38 billion in subsidies given to oil companies, the $2.1 trillion that Fortune 500 corporations are stashing abroad to avoid paying U.S. taxes, and the $153 billion a year we spend to subsidize McDonald’s and Walmart’s low-wage workers?”
Gene K.: And another thing….. some of the “Reddest” states receive the greatest amounts of welfare…… and HATE that people get “handouts” from the government…. I need somebody to explain that logic to me….
Brooke N.: Not logic, greed and blindness. I know Libertarian people who are on Disability and want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. I don’t think there’s any to accuse this of being logic.
Gene K.: Yes, I know a lot of people of many persuasions that hate anything that smacks of socialized medicine. It is like they think that medical bills are paid by the Medical Bill Fairy and are not subsidized by all of the people using the medical care system.
Folks, there ain’t no free ride. Sorry. There. Just. Isn’t.
Brooke N.: But it’s possible to make life a little easier for 99% of the people instead of utterly effortless for the 1% 🙂
Rayn:
“We disapprove of State education. Then, the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a State religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a State-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality.
It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the State to raise grain.” – Frederic Bastiat, The Law
