Or perhaps they're already registered to read NYT's screeds and don't feel like making the obvious comments so the liberals can jump all over them about how heartless they are.
Look...a public park isn't a homeless shelter. If you're looking for a warm fuzzy feeling by proving what a noble soul you are for feeding the homeless, part of your job is finding a place to do it without turning the park (which was built for other purposes) into one.
There's a
lovely big park down the street from my house. It's also a working farm. It closes at sunset, and overnight camping is not permitted.
I can imagine the patrols the rangers would have to run to empty the place (nearly 700 acres of farm, woodland and stream, including a trout hatchery) at night if free food was being dispensed there...they'd be working long after the do-gooders went home, patting each other on the back.
