Why Does McDonald's Hate the Homeless?

McDonald's is harassing homeless people by forcing them to purchase,
eat, and leave within 30 minutes. As far as I can tell, they are
only enforcing this policy with homeless customers. If they start
forcing Jewish, African-Americans, or other groups to leave if they stay longer than 30
minutes, I will let you know.

I say boycott McDonald's for hating and mistreating the homeless. We should not stand by and watch this persecution just because the homeless are poor. There but for the grace of God go we.

I believe that, for a homeless person to go into a McDonalds anyway, must mean that there is no alternative. Homeless people are all of us potentially, and are no different, and should not be discriminated against. Furthermore, being homeless means that you do not have the means of purchasing and cooking your own nutritious food, much less growing your own. McDonalds is no substitute for this.
