Have you heard of the love police?

Asked by poisonedantidote (21685points) July 7th, 2013

I am just curious to see if anyone on here knows a group by the name of The Love Police, an activist organization.

I have just logged on to my youtube channel, and noticed that Danny of the love police has a fund raising project to help him fight a court case and make a documentary about it.

I would be very interested to know if anyone on here knows about the love police, or Danny and the other members, and what you think of this project.

If you are not familiar, watching the fundraiser video on indiegogo should give you all the info you need regarding what they and Danny are all about.

What do you think?

I was supportive until the part where he throws away the parking tickets. So, freedom means no laws or rules? If so, I suppose I don’t want freedom.

I agreed with a lot of what he said, but he’s an extremist, which is something I’m not comfortable with. Plus, the megaphone thing is just plain annoying.

By his own admission, in his own words…

” I have been an irritation to shoppers and the authorities…”

“This mischief-making has frequently resulted in situations…”

“My hijinks have been chronicled…”

Sorry, but I cannot associate the word “Love” with any of the above statements by Danny.
_______

“I am not preaching any specific agenda…”

Then it’s noise.
_______

While I appreciate Danny’s sentiment, I cannot find any motivators in his methods.

Seriously, I have little patience for people who complain to the point of nuisance, but they never offer any solutions or alternatives.

Reading further…

“The man who “charged” me for my “offence” also hangs around in Westminster waiting for people to drop cigarette butts and then issuing them with £80 fines.”

So what Danny? Is it better to fine a few people for littering, or to force everyone else to walk through their trash? Folks can stop the fines by not dropping their ciggs. Easy fix.

What is the problem here?
