As always, there may be more to this story than meets the eye. To begin with, the activist group calls itself "Food Not Bombs", obviously Socialist useful idiots, right? Could there possibly be a political motive lurking in the background here, either motivating the police action or helping to justify it?

More importantly, who felt the need to provoke this roundup? Could it be homeowners and property holders concerned about crowds of homeless congregating in their park, especially if it promises to become a regular occurrence?

And if it occurred in town (a city park is where our homeless tend to congregate here in Ft Lauderdale) maybe its the local business community upset because all those vagabonds are scary and bad for business.

Now that you mention it, wasn't Jesus bad for business? And didn't he get the business community's attention when he threw his temple tantrum? And then they contacted the authorities and got some law and order..

Let's not be too hasty to condemn the "statists". They usually get their marching orders from the real fountainheads of power.
