Whose responsibility is it to protect unhoused when it’s freezing outside? An Ohio pastor opened his church to the homeless and was charged by city.

I hate this god damn country so fucking much.
Don’t lose heart - it’s not all this way.
But yeah, we can’t hold out faith in it any longer either :-(.
Fwiw, did you notice the silver lining? Pastor willing to go to jail (or whatever, I haven’t read the details that closely yet, but let’s presume - anyway it’s likely true) rather than give up on his beliefs. He will die on this hill, so that they do not have to:-D. Yeah, fuck the system that made him do it, but still it’s quite inspiring that people like him exist that will fight against it:-).
Eh, it’s really a cultural problem among the people in it.
Anyone who thinks the disparity in wealth should grow instead of shrink is part of the problem.
Greed is something democrats and republicans can routinely unite on because they’re both in on it.
It might be part of the culture, but there is a class of people with substantially more wealth who are able to direct legislation to cause people to be charged like this pastor. The vast majority of people I think anywhere on earth would believe you should help the needy, but the average people don’t have a say like the wealthy class does, and this class has it’s own distinct culture which praises greed and growth.
But I was told democrats and republicans are not the same.
An F-150 and a Prius both need tires. I was not aware this makes them the same vehicle.
It’s the entire world
All it took was a couple opinionated headlines eh?
No it took 41 years of living here and seeing what we are like.
And I’m curious what you’re talking about because clearly you’re not talking about this headline. This is a headline showing cold hard facts about what happened so you must be discussing others?
The site literally has this article classified as an opinion piece. It’s in the URL.
Because the person went into their opinions on the matter. But, glossing over you trying to downplay this because of a tag, please tell me how this is OK based on that tag?
I’m good bro. Sounds like you already made your mind up, based on cold hard facts
In other words you have fuck all to defend this other then a tag on an article.
But hey! Ill even play the part you couldn’t have. ‘The law says no sleeping there! no eating there!’
Those zoning laws are in place to make sure people don’t try to use places like this as a restaurant or as an apartment. They can, of course, be overlooked on a case by case basis, which they always are when its not about daring to help the homeless. According to laws like this pancake dinners in church’s are illegal. Eating the eucharistic is illegal, as, yes, that is serving food. No city is shutting down churches for these things, would never even consider it.
The law is overlooked all the damn time based on whats actually happening. This is not the city having their hand tied by a law and regrettably having to enforce it. This is, obviously, the city not wanting the homeless to be helped which is literally POLICY IN SO MANY PLACES
I appreciate your honesty in introducing a strawman. I won’t be defending your arguments bud lol
In other words you have absolutely nothing other then a tag on an article to say its acceptable to throw the homeless back out on the street in record low temps.
If you’re gonna start shit at least defend your ideas or give a glimpse into your thought process before you punk out like a bitch after getting called out lol
