I was thinking in terms of some other grocer who would have otherwise sold food to the people getting it from the one that got evicted. > Hard to make the argument on canned food though. Never underestimate the ability for attorneys to come up with creative arguments. :) The bottom line is that if the police/city/county got involved in giving that stuff away someone would find something to sue them for whether it was a business who "lost" sales, someone who got "sick" as a result of something they took, or even just someone who missed out because "proper" notice of the giveaway wasn't posted at least 30 days before the giveaway on at least two occasions in a widely distributed newspaper. The liability in getting involved in something like that is just too great a risk. I'm wondering why the headline isn't: "Church doesn't show up to receive huge pantry donation; allows poor to starve" -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:362211 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
