You're pretty lose with the word "help", there, Scooter.

You may believe a handout is "help", and you're welcome to hand out all of your stuff that you like if you really beleive it's helpful. But since at least the Johnson administration I've seen way too much welfare state accomplish exactly nothing (other than providing employment to the useless apparatchiks that run the programs), while robbing people of their initiative and self-respect.

You can claim it's "help". I'm not convinced. And you're certainly not entitled to despoil a public park to do it.
