Sean's Outpost Under Attack

[tkbx]

Pensacola, the city which Sean's Outpost is in, as well as the county, are taking seemingly unfounded legal action against them.

"As of now a health inspector and code enforcer are being paid every week to inspect the property and no violations have been reported; in fact in the latest report it was written that the property has remained clean and orderly and is not in violation of any laws."

That sucks, just goes to show you they only want people helping others if it's using the dollar >_<

If I had to guess, I'd say that there is a 99.99999999% chance that the city is doing this because they don't want the homeless moving in, and has nothing to do with the bit/alt coins hes collecting through donations.

Oh, selectively enforced laws

My initial thoughts exactly!

[Lethn]

Lol you're probably right about that too >_<

[BittBurger]

Yes they dont want to be known for a 60,000-person homeless tent village.

this fact evidently shows that government is just afraid of it

Afraid of some tents and tables? They might not like it, but any harassment they face is bound to be because of the fact that it's a homeless reservation, not because of Bitcoin.

the state is fast enough to employ an inspector and pay him a good wage of maybe 20,000 meals ($25k)

but would easily say no to donating that same $25k to a foodbank/ soup kitchen / hostel

The state just follows the voters.  Politicians will do whatever gets them re-elected.

This is because homeless cant vote right?

[Swordsoffreedom]

This is an issue the idea seems to support helping others but given the capitalist society I guess those type of goodwill efforts are pushed to the backburner.
Food ok government housing OK
I agree it is selectively enforced laws

Lol, when paying attorneys you never have enough!  Trust me on this one...been there, done that!

[franky1]

the purpose of the funds are to feed the hungry, even the guy doing the charity prefers the money used to feed the poor. rather then feeding the rich lawyers.

i feel sorry for the guy as it seems his state authorities dont believe in charity.

if only the state employed a homeless person, trained them up in kitchen prep/hygiene, and then got them to work at the outpost to clean and do the report filling in regularly that seans outpost meets hygiene standards high enough for public consumption. (meaning higher then a clean home of family consumption).

but no... they prefer highly paid inspectors to torture charity.. whats next, comdemn all foodbank buildings?

Go bitch at your own corrupt leaders/cops/bosses - wait you don't have the balls for that because they couldn't give a two dime fuck about some man-children squealing with too much time on their hands.

Jason has good lawyers.

In case anybody's forgotten, I slept there for 5 outta the 7 days I was down there conducting Thanksgiving at Satoshi Forest. I spoke with the neighbors and with some of the guys that use the site.

I met this guy presenting his case at the city council meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9UbD-yAd1s

The gentlemen could easily be considered a prick by some, but his main concern is protecting his ever decreasing property value.

There is a solution to all this, of which I will weigh in later.
