Bobby and Amanda Herring spent more than a year providing food to homeless people in downtown Houston every day. They fed them, left behind no trash and doled out warm meals peacefully without a single crime being committed, Bobby Herring said.
That ended two weeks ago when the city shut down their "Feed a Friend" effort for lack of a permit. And city officials say the couple most likely will not be able to obtain one.
"We don't really know what they want, we just think that they don't want us down there feeding people," said Bobby Herring, a Christian rapper who goes by the stage name Tre9. More here:
I like it when government steps in to lend its genius in situations such as this. I mean, what would we DO without the government controlling our every breath? I can guarantee the government here has a problem with one of two things:
1 - They need to be consistent in the application of their kazillion regulations so they aren't sued.
2 - See item #1.
That's right -- lawyers are stopping the homeless from being fed for free. But you know what? Lawyers don't care ... they're only looking out for the public good ... and to ensure that everyone is treated equally ... right?

the only thing lawyers look out for is more money. The more lawyers we have = more laws and ways to get your money.
