Let 'em sue....Vegas will declare the homeless and the samaritan are urban terrorists and have the shipped to Gitmo with Homeland Security funding.

The Constitution? Bush wrote a post-signing statement to annul that.

Speaking of stretches.

Just remeber the parable of the Samaritan was told to answer the question "Who then is my neighbor?" Obviously your "samaritan" isn't a neighbor to the people whose park she's exploiting.

She's taking advantage of it and not paying for it. Would you prefer another word? Too bad.

She isn't really an altruist, but she plays one in political theater.

How is it her advantage? I thought it would be to the advantage of the homeless.

Out of curiosity, what is she not paying for? What, exactly, is she taking advantage of?

Maggie, have you ever considered that she fed the homeless people out of the goodness of her heart? That she might just like helping people?

Briefly. Until I did some online research on Food Not Bombs. Then it was clear to me what her motivation was.

Maybe you should do that too.

If she "likes helping people", she sure doesn't seem to like the folks whose park she's using, who she'd definately not helping. And not everybody agrees that she's helping the people she's feeding, either.

The park.

Oh. I didn't know you were required to pay for things like that.

Well, somebody "pays for things like that". In the case, it's those nasty people who don't want a soup kitchen in it.
