[AMC-list] Feeding Houston homeless a Whataburger (AMC related)

Posted on facebook today, some words edited!

F*ck Houston's "don't feed the homeless" law. I don't need a permit for 
mercy. And with Obama's shit economy affecting millions, here was a guy, 
maybe a veteran, really down on luck. I have been feeding homeless folks for 
many years, especially the camp of them, some without legs, under Beltway 8 
of which my kids got sort of fond of and would want to go with me when I 
fixed up a cajun tex mix of stuff for cold nights. Anyways, this guy was 
sitting on side of Whatburger on I-10 near Dairy Ashford when Noah & me 
stopped in. Obviously not washed in long time, dirt & oil caked to hands and 
face. A Houston Police drove up and came inside and ordered a burger. The 
homesless guy slowly picked up his raggedy duffle bag and self and trudged 
over to fence next to used car dealership and plopped down. Some of you have 
probably heard of the homeless people getting TICKETS for dumpster diving in 
Houston recently.

Really. Anyways, I bought the guy a Whataburger...and gave it to him. The 
rich Memorial (Stratford high school) kids who have more money into their 
phones than I have in my 74 AMC Hornet Sportabout wagon this photo was taken 
thru (by son Noah) sort of had dumbfounded looks on faces inside Whataburger 
watching this transpire. Maybe they learned something for Easter. Was happy 
the cop in uniform didn't run poor guy off. Hmmm...maybe a Whataburger for 
Homeless campaign. Not sure when being hungry became a crime in Houston, but 
another stupid, useless law out there. Hope the poor bastard enjoyed his hot 
meal, it is about 22 miles to Star of Hope Mission donwtown Houston from 
this location. Not a option, especially for someone with bum leg, no shoes 
(no soles!) and weak. I'd feed him again.

those of you on facebook (and I guess here) quickly pointed out the AMC 
mirror in the photo. Yup, it is THAT 74 AMC Hornet Sportabout was driving, 
fun car to drive daily.
