The leftist regulatory state makes it difficult to do even simple things like helping homeless people. This group has found a way to keep the rotten cops away:


Since Feeding the Homeless Is Illegal, Activists Carry AR-15s to Give Out Food, Supplies

December 9, 2019

Dallas, TX -- Feeding and clothing the homeless in the land of the free has now become a revolutionary act. Luckily, however, there are still good people willing to carry that act out.

In December 2014, the Dallas city council enacted Ordinance No. 29595, which makes it illegal to serve food to the homeless without jumping through a statist myriad of bureaucratic hoops, including a fee, training classes, and written notices.

One should not need to file multiple forms and pay a fee to obtain a permit to give food to those in need who are willingly ready to accept it. The folks at Don't Comply know this.

Over the weekend, the aptly named organization, Don't Comply, and dozens of volunteers from children to adults alike took to the streets of Dallas to hand out food, sleeping bags, clothing, and tents to the area's less fortunate.

As TFTP has reported on numerous occasions, often times, police will swoop in and shut down those who would dare defy the authority of the state and conduct charity without a permit. However, most organizations aren't like Don't Comply.

As they took to the streets this weekend, many of the members of the organization open carried their weapons. This was done not out of an act of intimidation but merely to assert rights as well as protect them.

The resultant heavily armed group of do-gooders effectively staved off any attempts by police to shut down the charitable efforts.

What a chicken$hit way to promote 2nd Amendment rights... a whole separate issue as a shield to hide behind when you don't even need to bring an AR-15.

And if you call this a revolutionary act to feed the homeless, then clearly you are using the AR-15's to intimidate.

Also, there is a reason why you have to jump through hoops; it's to make sure that not only are you feeding the homeless safely and with fresh enough food, but also to PROTECT YOU from getting infected by accident or getting sued when someone claims they were food poisoned.

It's not about the 2nd amendment. It's about the idea that you shouldn't need government permission to help other people.

Of course, the political left can't bear the thought of anyone doing anything without government permission. As a famous leftist once said:

“Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.”

Do you really think it's a good thing to intimidate the police?

What's more important:

1. Helping homeless people by giving them food and supplies.

2. The feelings of police officers.

My church operates a food pantry every Friday. The other 4 weekdays are covered by other churches in town. Some of the food even comes from the government. No AR15's necessary.

The oppressiveness of leftist regulation varies depending on where you are. From the article:

So how about answering my question in the post you responded to?

By this reasoning a government permit should be required to have some friends over for dinner.

You should read the writings of those you quote:

Granted that the XIXth century was the century of socialism, liberalism, democracy, this does not mean that the XXth century must also be the century of socialism, liberalism, democracy. Political doctrines pass; nations remain. We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the "right", a Fascist century.

Insist on equal protection of the law for unemployment compensation so the homeless can apply for it and get off the street.
 
When I read the thread title, I immediately thought that the activists were carrying weapons to protect themselves against being attacked by the bad actors among the homeless.

Many of the homeless are mentally challenged. They are not angelic beings who are being persecuted by mean people who do not want their sidewalks blocked by tents and used as toilets.

The homeless industry is making a lot of money for people who are not homeless.

The word right (in scare quotes no less) doesn't even begin to override the extensive evidence I provided in that thread showing fascism is left wing. Actions count, not words, and Mussolini was everything modern progressives luv, which is why FDR had a man-crush on him.

If you want to argue the evidence, please do it in that thread, not here. Thanks.

Fascism has always been an ultra nationalist, strict traditionalist, reactionary movement against the left. The US even funded fascist movements to destroy communists.Fascism - Intellectual origins | Britannica

It was at the early beginnings a movement against progressivism.

Yes Dallas went Democratic and declared war on the homeless trying to starve them out.

Much respect.
 
Funny thing, there was zero coverage of this "event" on any local DFW station. Maybe it really was not all that big a deal for us.

Scare quotes? :lamo The quotation marks are in the translation I linked. The bolding is mine to make sure you didn't miss the refutation of your ignorant post.

I'll argue (ie, post) what I like, where I like, how I like and when I like. If you don't like it, report it. That said I don't need to argue your extensive (the bold again emphasizing the ignorance of your post) evidence. Il Duce's own writings cannot be refuted by wikipedia articles.

Fascism is right wing.

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy[3] which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[4] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries.[4] Opposed to liberalism, Marxism, and anarchism, fascism is placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum.[4][5][6]

These terms are decided by consensus among historians, sociologists, economists and political scientists. They can't be reinterpreted by amateurs or arbitrarily assigned to a group just because we don't like them.

No, it was labeled right wing by leftist history professors, for obvious reasons.

Think about it. Mussolini did everything progressives dream of - and everything right wingers like myself despise. Progressive hero FDR luved Mussolini, and Mussolini luved the New Deal.

I've got a ton of evidence to support my side of the argument. All you've got are empty assertions.
