Giving Food To The Homeless Shouldn't Be A Crime

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Carey Wedler

Government has long been characterized as inept. It's easy to forget that sometimes it can be downright cruel.

The latest example comes from Missouri, where the Kansas City Health Department is under fire after employees bleached food intended for the homeless because the people supplying it did not have the proper permit.

On Sunday, officials from the health department, accompanied by armed police officers, stopped volunteers with Free Hot Soup Kansas City from feeding the homeless at four locations, claiming the food had not been inspected. 

"Officers and health inspectors demanded we destroy our food and we were violating health code violations by sharing meals with our friends," said Nellie McCool, who has participated in efforts to feed the homeless for years.

The health department has defended its crackdown, claiming officials had previously informed the volunteer group that they needed to obtain a permit.

"They were notified back in a meeting in September that they needed to get a permit, and they just outright said they refused to do that," said Dr. Rex Archer, Director Of Health for KCMO, according to KSHB, a local Kansas City outlet.

Feeding the homeless is NOT a crime. Here is the proper permit - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=private+membership+association - which doesn't include any municipality. It's called a Private Membership Association (PMA). This doesn't mean that it was a crime before the PMA. It simply means that the PMA paperwork properly instructs municipality officials that they are out of bounds when they mess in something private, and can be sued for their actions, including how to sue them. Watch the top 3 videos in the link, and start your own PMA, or a local chapter of one of those in the link. Also, DuckDuckGo search engine PMA check. Then think of all the other places you can use this.
