I Figured Out A Way Around Georgia's Law Against Providing Food And Water To Voters

Just hand it to them either on top of, or inside a hollowed out version of, an AR-15. They wouldn't DARE interfere with a person giving someone else an assault rifle.

Hand out food or water? Go to jail. Hand out assault weapons? A-OK!!!

Take donations for supplies, and sell a bottle of water for a nickel ... $1 will buy water for you and 19 others in line ...

Free hand of the market, capitalism etc ...

A judge found that the people putting out water for the immigrants were doing it for religious reasons so could not be charged.

But I also like the idea of selling for a tiny nominal amount so that you are not giving the water or food away.

Church groups should show up with food and water and dare the police to arrest them.

Jesus was big on feeding the hungry and giving water to the thirsty. It is the religious duty of Christians to do so. If the State of Georgia wants to arrest people for doing their Christian duty, we'll have to see what a Georgia jury thinks of such.

And the RepuQs are trying to cut out Sunday voting, this would be a good way to involve Black churches in the voting efforts.

If you don't know what Souls to the Polls is, many Black churches have been getting their congregations to the polls after church during early voting. It's been big ever since early voting started.

technically a squirt gun is an "arm". A crappy one if you want to kill someone, but an "arm" nonetheless. and the government has no right to take it away from me.

right?
