Arrested for feeding the homeless

without comments

A member of a group called Food not Bombs was arrested for feeding the homeless in Orlando, Florida. As ridiculous as this was for the police to do it raises another issue. I’m reading Joel Berg’s book and I’ve come to agree that charity cannot make up for government inaction. It is obvious that there are a lot of hungry people to feed in Orlando and throughout the country. Some of them are homeless some of them are working poor. Even people in the middle class are relying on food banks as times get tough. Yet, charity alone is not capable of ending hunger in America.
