Miami Considers Ban On Feeding the Homeless Without Training 18
The Miami City Commission will consider a proposal next month that would make it illegal for "unauthorized people and groups" to feed the homeless. They say the ordinance will cut down on litter and ensure the safety of the food that the homeless eat. Anyone without formal training who is caught giving food away would first receive a warning and then fines up to $300 for subsequent food offerings. Without laws like this the homeless might start to associate people with food, and the only thing more inconvenient than having to look at a homeless person in the morning is having to run away from cannibals.

Exactly, because this is the land of opportunity, so all those poor people are just leeches who refuse to go get their $150,000/year job so they can make us all look bad. Naturally, if we make poverty illegal, it will go away, just like recreational drugs! Mission accomplished!
Were I a resident there, I would suggest to the homeless that they go follow a cop around going 'oink'. Repeat as needed until they're arrested or given food. If they're arrested, they will get fed by the jail. Repeat as necessary. That should give the 'enlightened' community the choice between feeding the homeless or having their cops running from them.
