Critics say a new measure targets free assembly and basically takes away the right of EVERYONE to walk or stand in public . . . Supporters say that the KCMO homeless crisis is out of control and something needs to be done.
Here's a conversation with the author of the ordinance:
Fox4: Northland council person describes proposed ordinance that aims to block panhandling
Description:
Kansas City Councilperson Teresa Loar stopped by FOX4 Wednesday to talk about her proposed panhandling ordinance.
Because it's not illegal for people to beg for money, the proposed ordinance goes out of its way to avoid mentioning the word panhandling and instead focuses on pedestrian safety.
Loar represents the west half of the Northland -- District 2 at large.
She told FOX4 events such as Red Friday and Fill the Boot would still be allowed under her proposal.
Take a look at the full video.
You decide . . .

ReplyDeleteWho's the homeless dwarf she's talking to?
ReplyDeleteIf the public wants to get rid of panhandlers STOP GIVING THEM SHIT!! If you stop giving them FREE shit they might be motivated get their shit together!! If they dont get their shit together who fucking cares at the end of the day! These losers have options for help but in order to get that help they have to get off the drugs and booze. The only reason these corner beggers keep standing on the corner and begging is because people who give them free shit helps get their drug and alcoholic needs met so STOP enabling these people!! you are not helping them you are helping to kill themselves wake up stupid people!! Its not rocket science!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, if we stopped giving all the welfare and free housing and free food stamps and free healthcare to the negroes, they would actually work for stuff? If you believe that, you are a stupid motherfucker.
ReplyDeleteYou can work on sucking big black dick.
DeleteI'm for getting the beggars off the streets and off the traffic islands. It scares the hell out of me when they leap into traffic for a "donation" toward the cause. Oh, wait....that also goes for the folks raising money for their Church of JimBob What's Happening Now. They exercise a little more caution, but it's still nervewracking to drivers.
ReplyDeletePile the shot bodies of the homeless under the Beardsley Road bridge and burn them.
ReplyDeleteDid people used to give these bums pans when passing by?
ReplyDeleteDamn Teresa is getting as fat as James and maybe more.
ReplyDeleteSHE WAS ALWAYS FAT
