Yeah, I know some of you won't like the source. (I was looking for something specific and somehow this came to the top of my search)...
But... Wut?
It seems there’s a limit to brotherly love in the city of Brotherly Love.
The city of Philadelphia has outlawed the feeding of people outdoors.
If you’re living on the street, you used to be able to go to the oh-so-appropriately-named Love Park and get fed. No questions asked. Just line up, get a plate and eat.
Someone from the Chosen 300 Ministries was there to hand out the food. The students from The Mathematics Civics and Sciences Charter School raised money to buy the homeless food and toiletries. Volunteers from across the city would do their part.
You can imagine how important those meals – and that love – was to the homeless.
Now, the city wants it to end.
They want the homeless fed indoors. In special zones of the city only. In places the city approves. Away from where tourists might see them.
As Reverend Brian Jenkins of Chosen 300 Ministries says: These rules “are designed to tuck the homeless in a corner and pretend that the problem does not exist in our city.”
In the city which gave birth to American freedom, they have banned the freedom to give out food.
In the city of brotherly love, they have banned brotherly love.
