    This is such a frustrating reminder of how stupid people can be. They’re feeding homeless people in central Houston, and the city received reports of violence and threats against library employees. When they decided to designate a new space to feed these people, the fucking assholes chose a location near a police station.

    Like that will work. It was largely rejected, so then they made a law against feeding more than five people without getting permission from the property owners.

      I don’t understand who you are calling stupid. If the people giving free food to the public received complaints that it was causing reports of violence and threats, wouldn’t be logical for them to move the operation to a police station?
