DO NOT FEED THE HOMELESS, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT TRYING TO DO GOOD THINGS TOWARDS YOUR FELLOW MAN, BEING A PHILANTHROPIST WILL GIVE YOU A CRIMINAL RECORD.

Oh my fucking holy fuck. Fuckers!
Holy shit.
Even for Florida, that's pretty fucked up.
I say this guy and his crew are good people, moreso because they are going to keep doing it.
I hope that the people there, especially churches, organize protest picnics. I want to see the papers run stories about the police busting up church picnics.

I was wondering, because the wording in the news clip seemed to imply that ANYONE feeding more than 25 people at a time in a public place for any reason was illegal. So that would be awesome seeing the cop trying to bust up a church picnic.
This will not stand.
I ain't even going to make a bad joke about this. It actually pisses me off.
Wow.
Does this mean Jesus will have a warrant out for his arrest come the resurrection, in Florida?
Because if feeding 25 people is a crime, how awful is feeding 5000?

It would depend on if the fish were legal sized and whether or not they were in season.
Florida, where Fish and Game has more authority than any other division of law enforcement practically worldwide....

Sure it will. Your anger is irrelevant, given that the Orlando city council probably doesn't read PD.
Unless you are planning to, you know, DO something. Write a letter. Get others to write letters. I will if you will. Anything else you can think of would be listened to, at least by me.
But sitting here pissing and moaning means that it WILL in fact stand.

You can't even take a tarpon out of the water when you catch one, you know. If you get caught...hefty fine.
Also: Orlando.
Says enough right there. We need to get Squiddy out of there.
The world is fucking crazy. It's illegal to feed homeless people, and my friend just received a cease & desist for painting Richard Feynman.

Well, he's dead, and to paint him, you'd have to dig him up, which would probably upset the family.

That's amazing! I'm particularly fond of the cherub clutching the wiener.
Why is illegal to sell though? Is there some sort of copyright on Feynman's image?
what's with the wiener at the top and the ham hock at the bottom?
Just sell it privately. No one has to know.
ETA: I just realized, being illegal is a feature of the work that could be leveraged to make it worth even more money.

Feynman was Jewish, but I don't think he observed, if I remember his books correctly.

Apparently, Feynman's "likeness" is copyrighted. While I understand the concept (it is not OK to use his image to promote, say, salad dressing or a clothing line) extending it to the point of preventing his likeness from being painted for art's sake is going a little too far, IMO.

If he calls it a parody, he should be safe. That's where the ham comes in.

What's mildly humorous is that he's a biophysicist working for a patent lawfirm, reviewing genetic patent applications for viability.
I need to figure out how to copyright myself, though. That's gonna come in handy later.

Your buddy will probably have patented your gene sequence by then, and you'll have to pay his company royalties.

Too late; I already gave my genes to Johns Hopkins in a pre-emptive strike against the coming genetic profiteers.
Maybe I should donate my likeness to charity.
