The article states that they needed to pay for insurance to do this, which they didn't do. It's a public park and if they want to turn it into a soup kitchen then they should also have to pay for it.

And this is why some conservatives get angry at liberals for laughing at them for their attachment to the principle of keeping the government out of their affairs.

The park belongs to the community, and these people are choosing to feed homeless people using private funds in this park. The government should have the sense to use discretion when their is a technical violation of the law and consider whether the spirit of the law is being broken. Politicians and public servants are supposed to be a proxy for the will of the people, not dictators who decide what is proper behavior for themselves.

Insurance is an imperialist construct of the patriarchal white capitalists. Not a thing for these ideology champions.
