So if there are under 25 homeless people there being fed - that is OK. Hit the magic number of 25 and you are in trouble? Crazy laws - what purpose do they serve? Who are they protecting?
I think the important thing is that the city were quite happy for the group to serve food in a variety of places across the city (or so the article implies) but this seems to have been in a park, and no doubt the city elders feel that such places should not be being used for this. Remember, also, that many such homeless are homeless either as a result of their abuse of drink and/or drugs, or have taken them up having lost homes due to family breakdowns - and that when under the influence can become violent (we get occasional incidents of fighting on our programme - either between clients or, on very occasional occasions, when they start abusing us!). Is this appropriate for a public park?
