Easy loophole: befriend them.

Food Not Bombs in Houston gets ticketed all the time by cops who simply do not give a shit about the law. Tens of thousands of dollars in fines get thrown out every year. It doesn't matter, because the cops keep showing up and keep handing out tickets, forcing volunteers to keep showing up in court and fighting over it.

Fuck anyone who has an issue with it. Keep feeding people who have it rough, if you want.

Absolutely. People love to pretend that "Sticking it too the man!" means throwing on a balaklava and brandishing a gun. The harder truth is that its about keeping our neighbors alive when the city is trying to do them in through social murder.

But let's not pretend there's One Neat Trick to outwitting a thumb-headed trigger-happy gang of rent-a-fascists. You aren't going to argue your way out of a ticket for feeding the homeless any more than a sovereign citizen could. Cops aren't there to argue with you. They're there to put the boot on your neck.

Sounds like someone needs to get in the city council, or become mayor or something, and change more of the rules about homelessness. Can't anyone with compassion for the poor run for mayor these days?
