20 Orlando Police Steal food from Children, Arrest 6 MORE for feeding the Hungry

[General of Darkness]

So the city will spend hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars to collect a permit fee. They seem to be sending a message, just like the mafia, we want our cut, and if you don't give it to us, we'll send out our goons to collect, all legal like.

Incredible GoD.

I am quite saddened by what is happening every single day it seems. Enforcing a 'Policy' that literally takes food out of the mouth if a hungary child, because it is their job. I feel a deep sense of sorrow and empathy for these Officer's. They will face their maker one day, and have to resign to the fact that when it came down to it, they chose to serve Man's laws and not the Creator's.

And i will admit a small part of me wanted to resort to violence to solve the problem of innocent people being victimized by thug criminals.

The governments job is to interdict traffic. That's what they do. If you haven't paid the requisit traffic fee, toll, levy etc then you got problems. When you look at governments behaviour they behave just like pirates. That's because that's what they are. It's pretty simple really. They behave just like the mafia does when it shakes someone down. They run a protection racket and they want a cut.

Of course they will, because basic economics and the concepts of profit/loss don't apply to government work. They will spend thousands of dollars to collect a $20 fee because it's their policy and they have to follow it.

The first thirty years of the Food Not Bombs movement.
Food Not Bombs is one of the fastest growing revolutionary movements and is gaining momentum throughout the world. There are hundreds of autonomous chapters sharing free vegetarian food with hungry people and protesting war and poverty. Food Not Bombs is not a charity. This energetic grassroots movement is active throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. Food Not Bombs is organizing for peace and an end to the occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. For nearly 30 years the movement has worked to end hunger and has supported actions to stop the globalization of the economy, restrictions to the movements of people, end exploitation and the destruction of the earth.

The first group was formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1980 by anti-nuclear activists. Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to nonviolent social change. Food Not Bombs has no formal leaders and strives to include everyone in its decision making process. Each group recovers food that would otherwise be thrown out and makes fresh hot vegan and vegetarian meals that are served in outside in public spaces to anyone without restriction. Many Food Not Bombs groups also share groceries and organize other efforts to support their communities. Each independent group also serves free meals at protests and other events. The San Francisco chapter has been arrested over 1,000 times in government’s effort to silence its protest against the city’s anti- homeless policies. Amnesty International states it will adopt those Food Not Bombs volunteers that are convicted as “Prisoners of Conscience” and will work for their unconditional release. Volunteers are currently being arrested in Orlando, Florida and Minsk, Belaruse. Even though we are dedicated to nonviolence Food Not Bombs activists in the United States have been under investigation by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, Pentagon and other intelligence agencies. A number of Food Not Bombs volunteers have been arrested on terrorism charges.

Food Not Bombs is often the first to provide food and supplies to the survivors of disasters. During the first three days after the 1989 Earthquake, Food Not Bombs was the only organization in San Francisco providing hot meals to the survivors. Food Not Bombs was also the first to provide hot meals to the rescue workers responding to September 11th World Trade Center attacks. Food Not Bombs volunteers were among the first to provide food and help to the survivors of the Asian Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. Our volunteers organized a national collection program and delivered bus and truckloads of food and supplies to the gulf region. We were one of the only organizations sharing daily meals in New Orleans after Katrina. Food Not Bombs is now preparing for the economic crash organizing Food Not Lawns community gardens, housing the homeless with Homes Not Jails, organizing additional meals each week and starting new Food Not Bombs chapters.

Food Not Bombs works in coalition with groups like Earth First!, The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee, Anarchist Black Cross, the IWW, Homes Not Jails, Anti Racist Action, Farm Animal Rights Movement, In Defense of Animals, the Free Radio Movement and other organizations on the cutting edge of positive social change and resistance to the new global austerity program. Food Not Bombs provided the meals for the protesters at Camp Casey outside Bush’s ranch in Texas and was the frist to provide food to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Volunteers also helped organize and shared meals at the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle and provide logistical support for many other anti-globalization actions. Kiev Food Not Bombs fed the tent city protest during the Orange Revolution and groups in Slovokia started animal rescue shelters in 24 cities. We are also sharing meals at protests responding to the global economic crisis.

As the global economy was starting to fail the city of Orlando passed a law restricting the sharing of meals with the hungry. The Orlando Police arrested Food Not Bombs volunteer Eric Montanez on April 4, 2007. Many other America cities were also introducing laws to discourage the feeding of the hungery and Food Not Bombs volunteers were arrested in Nevada, Connecticut and several other states. Eric was found innocent and Food Not Bombs challenged the law in Federal Court. After winning at the district level the Eleventh Circut Court of Appeals rule that Orlando could restrict Food Not Bombs to twice a year per park. The city started arresting the volunteers for sharing meals at Lake Eola Park on June 1, 2011. The arrests continue. Volunteers in Minks, Belaruse are also being arrested for sharing food with the hungry. Their capaign also continues.

Many groups organize Really Really Free Markets giving away all kinds of items for free, planting Food Not Lawns community gardens and housing people with the Homes Not Jails project. Many chapters also organize Bikes Not Bombs programs collecting and repairing used bicycles to provide to people in low-income communities. We also provided meals to protesters at the Democratic and Republican National Conventions in the United States. We will provide meals to the families of striking workers and help organize actions encouraging alternatives to the failure of capitalism.

Food Not Bombs activists are currently making plans to celebrate our 30th year of cooking for peace. Along with organizing the celebration each local chapter collects and distributes food every week and there are several other projects that support the Food Not Bombs movement. One collective called “A Food Not Bombs Menu.” helps people find or start local chapters. They also maintain the website www.foodnotbombs.net (http://www.foodnotbombs.net), organize tours and support Food Not Bombs gatherings. They also provide books, t-shirts and other materials to promote the principles of Food Not Bombs. We hope you will join us in taking direct action towards creating a world free from domination, coercion and violence. Food is a right, not a privilege.

After reading all of this, these guys seem to be of the 'Collectivist' sort. As if Capitalism is the reason why we have hungary people. ANY GROUP trying to subvert what the country was founded on is suspect in my book. If they cant see the truth, how are they going to fix anything? This is the type of Propaganda that gets all of our freedom and private property eviscerated.

Food is a Right? From who? The Creator gave you the Right to food? NO. He gave you the Right to earn your own food. Not take it from another.

They admit to providing food for homeless who protest, as well as Unions who Sounds to me like providing gas to the tank of the Proletariat's, another Communist ploy.

They say they resist the Global austerity plans. Yet, they want the Government to feed them? I mean they said food is a Right. Who will provide this Right? Hello Pot, meet Kettle.....

I just wanted to bring these items to the surface. Im all about helping people that need it, VOLUNTARILY out of my own decision. But these groups usually use the problems that Socialism brings to actually usher in an even deeper version of Socialism.

Still, cops have no right to tread on that parade.

Of course they will, because basic economics and the concepts of profit/loss don't apply to government work. They will spend thousands of dollars to collect a $20 fee because it's their policy and they have to follow it.

When you are dealing with the 'criminal justice system' you are dealing with a group that holds the assumption that "all your property are belong to us". They file charges against a sum of money they find in a search, and that allows them to keep your money--just because they found it. They stop vehicles and confiscate peoples money, claiming it is drug related when there is no evidence. They are not accountable for what they do. You can't stop them. They are thieves and murderers on the loose with protection of their 'offices'. And when they kill someone or steal somebody's property and we watch it on TV, we think 'glad it wasn't me'. Well, if we don't get together and oppose this, one day each of us will wish it wasn't me. It's difficult to oppose the 'law' but when the law is your enemy, you need to change it before it kills all of us.

Pretty much. One never truly owns anything, if some asshole with a gun and badge can take away anything they want at will. They have no responsibility, they can literally do as they please with out consequence. The scale is so tipped in their favor that it is utterly ridiculous, according to them and the state we are all armed and dangerous criminals and need to be reigned in if we make a false step at any time.
