Today while serving lunch we were visited by the Drug Enforcement. When I say visited… I mean they circled the parking lot about 20 times in a “non-conspicuous, drug enforcement type van with blacked out windows, government issued hubcaps, wheels & tires, blue ball cap wearing” kind of way. Never stopping to ask “what” I was doing.
C’mon guys! Could you be any more fucking obvious!?
Seriously, do you have nothing better to do than intimidate and harass someone who is simply trying to help those who are down on their luck?
If you think I’m up to something illegal (because all drug dealers pull up in a shopping mall parking lot and post a sign for free lunch, just to attract all their customers in one spot) THEN STOP AND ASK WHAT I’M DOING! Hell, if you’re hungry, have some lunch with us.
But DON’T intimidate. DON’T run off the people I’m trying to feed.
Instead work your 9-5, do your job, meet some people along the way, get to know them and hear their stories. These people are not your problem. They’re not people to target. They are victims. They are mothers. They are fathers. They are children. They are your neighbors. Your community.
But, hey, when it’s 5pm,clock out Johnny Law. Go on home to your nice, warm house,with water, plumbing, food on a table & a warm bed. Because that’ll FIX IT ALL. And tomorrow you can go back to work and harass those less fortunate & be thankful that you’re not them. But remind yourself often,
YOU COULD BE.
WE ALL COULD BE.
