Raleigh, NC: A city in need of a heart transplant

" A city ordinance prohibits individuals or groups from distributing food in city parks without a permit..."



SO, they should get the necessary permit.

Read the story, the permit is $800 each day. A weekend would cost $1600, that can provide a lot of food. So they were specifically doing the distribution on the sidewalks outside the park.

The blogpost that Roger posted tells it more like it is than the "News and Observer."

Threatening to arrest these people and refusing to let them hand out hot food and coffee they had already purchased for people already waiting in line was an incredibly bad call on someone's part - whether it was city council leadership or police or what.
Essential food programs need to be replaced or resituated before they are shut down, jeez loueeze.

Badly done Raleigh - boo.
Don't become like LA and Atlanta - we have enough mean cities already!!

The group is clearly motivated by a need to contribute, had they been the least political they would have defied the police order and provoked arrests, a course I might have chosen had I been in their place.
not sure what they did with all the food, hope they found a way to give to those who were waiting
I would have moved it all over the city hall parking lot, bused everyone over, then called the media (in fact I've done something similar. City governments can be shallow and mean but they don't like to be embarrassed.)

Heart transplant is usually done at the end stage, where there is no other option left to recover a diseased heart. This surgery truly improves the critical condition and gives you healthy life. However, before getting this surgery the factors such as age, compliance of recipient are some important terms to look for. Anyone who needs to have this surgery, you can look for good transplant center like Justsavelives and get the best result.
