This issue is more nuanced than the city flat out saying they can't feed the homeless. They said they can't do it in front of the public library. The city has a designated spot to hand out food, the charity was told this, but still did it at the library in protest.
Both sides have valid points. The charity has a right to distribute food, but the rest of the population also has the right to safely use public facilities.

"Crime comitted: poor in front of library"
You clearly haven't been around a bunch of homeless people. It's not a super safe place to be.
Like I said, it's a nuanced issue, but it seems you lack the capacity for it.
Homeless people: Just trying to get some food so they can survive.
Cops: Doing every petty, bullshit thing they can do to prevent homeless people from getting food.
You, the true understander of everything: It's the homeless people who are the bad guys.
You clearly didn't stop to think that the reason they made those shitty little ordinances in the first place was to stop people like FNB from highlighting the city of Houston's embarrassing failure to take care of their own people.
This isn't a "both sides have valid points" issue. One side is unquestionably in the wrong here, and in this case it's the city who keeps throwing up arbitrary roadblocks against people who are just trying to feed the hungry.

I have. I've had more guns stuck in my face by suburbanite psychopaths than I've had homeless people try to rob or attack me.
Finally. These people are doing good work. The city doesn't want homeless people so they made it illegal to give them food. This group went out repeatedly and violated the ordinance. True heroes.
