Joplin officials take legal action against Hopeful Bites organizer, citation issued


Joplin city officials took action today against McKenna Jade Pulsipher, organizer of the Hopeful Bites project that has been serving food to the needy daily in front of City Hall.

Pulsipher was charged with a building code violation for blocking access to City Hall, according to Joplin Municipal Court records.

The citation includes the following statement:

Subject set up a table with items on it, encumbering the sidewalk in front of 602 S. Main after previously being asked not to obstruct the public way at that location.

City officials have told area media that Hopeful Bites has not been following city health guidelines and have said Hopeful Bites needs to find a new location.

The initial appearance for Pulsipher is scheduled for 8 a.m. January 26 in Joplin Municipal Court.

(Note: When I originally published this post, it included a screenshot of the citation. I did not realize until I read the comments here and on the Inside Joplin Facebook page that the citation included McKenna Jade Pulsipher's home address. Thanks to those of you who pointed that out. It was not intentional and I apologize for its inclusion in the post.)

Lock her up! Then clean up our streets and run these handout grifters out of town! Shut down Wretched Gardens while you're at it.

Please redact her address.

So, they can go across the street?

I’m guessing they could move 50’ but they are making a point to the city so they can’t ignore it.
But I would watch the rest of the streets and make sure nothing is encumbering the sidewalk, after all you can’t pick and chose who and where you enforce the city code.
So Joplin police enforce building codes now?

Nice gesture but people still need to follow the laws and regulations set forth. Sometimes that is the problem you feel in your view that it is the right thing to do, but again if it is unlawful then try to figure it out from a lawful standpoint - Do Not Break the Laws to just try and make your point known - do the right thing.

Casenet will have her very public address... no need to redact it.

Yes you are right on the money. None of those places as ever actually helped anyone except themselves.

Why just her? She is only one of the little Anti-fa cell that runs it.

Antifa is the equivalent of the freedom fighters from yester year. Its refreshing to witness true believers of the constitution who have an actual concern for humanity, the environment, and future generations, not this maga malignancy that has diseased the nation, polluted the land and air, and created more fear, economic hardship, and division in our own homes and around the world. You voted for this disaster, I proudly say "I did not".

"Your 3rd grade teacher", is another Wacky Leftist Liberal Karen - Do you also, believe that Palestine has the Right to Kill, Rape, and Take Hostages of Israeli Citizens - - If so you need your Teacher's License Taken Away - The only person McKenna Pulsipher is Schooling are you Minions - that Follow this Disturbing Thought Process. If you want to do something - "Your 3rd grade teacher", maybe with all the rest of these Teacher's in the Biggest Union in the United States, (Which dumps Millions and Millions of Dollars to the Democratic Party every year of your Dues) is figure out and fix the Educational System - which Missouri is Ranked - 30th - 33rd in the Nation - - it seems that you are Not Helping Dick and Jane - Read, Write, Understand Math, Science, or History - Probably spending to much time Following Radicals like McKenna Pulsipher, and the Rest of the Rainbow Crowd instead of doing the Job that the Taxpayers are Paying for and that is Teaching and Raising the Educational Scores in the State of Missouri - -

Let's See - McKenna Pulsipher is quite the Nuisance. She wants to be seen as Mother Teresa, but without the Humble Attitude and Law-Abiding Processes to get things done. So, I am going to talk about you, McKenna Pulsipher - Anyone that feels that the Palestine People have the Right to Kill, Rape, and take Hostages - Innocent Israeli Civilians from a Music Festival, Women, Children, and Men - is a VERY SICK PERSON!

You feel everything is a Fight, a Disagreement, because you want to control things and accomplish things the "Wrong-Way", yet you think when she goes to Court - She is going to "SCHOOL ANYBODY", Think Again - Minions!

McKenna Pulsipher, has Eight Legal Case Net Cases alone in 2025 in both Webb City and Joplin. What a Model Citizen.

Maybe she should - Pay Her Bills, Pay for Auto Insurance, Stop being a Nuisance and do things in a Law-Abiding Manor - Before thinking about Schooling Anyone - "Your 3rd grade teacher," and if you too feel that Israeli Citizens, Women, Children, and Men should be Killed, Raped, or Held Hostage - You Rate as another SICK PERSON!!!

Finally, to bring complete stench to this thread, in walks The PPPP! Offering even more spineless and cowardly cut and paste waste, the PPPP brings an odiferous air of hate and ignorance while they indoctrinate their minimal intellectual capacities inhaling white supremist beliefs. The Dems are out to get you PPPP!

She is setting a bad example by not following the laws this city has set. Now she is acting like a victim instead of accepting responsibility for her own wrongdoing. No one is trying to stop you from feeding people, just move your location and quit trying to be a victim when you are not. Ugh!

Free Muduro!, You have got to be the most WACKED OUT LEFTIST LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC, WOKE, DEI, CRT, PROUNOUN SHAMER - OUT THERE!

First - Learn how to Spell "Muduro", it is Maduro - - do you even know where he is from - - Venezuela? Talk about using minimum Brain Cells.

Do you have any idea what Maduro has done - Of course not - You would have to be able to Read and Think - which we are all sure you lack that capacity!

The indictment accuses Maduro and his inner circle of:
Shipping 200 to 250 metric tons of cocaine per year to the U.S..
Selling diplomatic passports to drug traffickers to aid in moving proceeds.
Using the presidential hangar to send cocaine shipments.
Ordering kidnappings, beatings, and murders to protect their operations.

Dear PPPP 753, It was an illegal kidnapping of an elected official from a sovereign nation. All the accusations against him are just that until proven guilty. Your maganuts are claiming anything, including false fentynal excuses to justify and demonstrate fealty to their king. Trump, like putin, netanyahu, and the nut from north korea, are all war criminals and a direct threat to mankind. Lock them up!

You should get your loud mouth down there to Caracas and tell them why we are taking their oil...unless you are all talk and no action!

Also he should have shipped 400 tons of tons of cocaine so he could get a Trump pardon!

"On November 28, 2025, President Donald Trump announced on social media that he intended to issue a "full and complete pardon" to former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández. President Trump formally granted the pardon on December 1, 2025, and Hernández was released from prison on the same day, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Hernández had been sentenced to 45 years in prison in June 2024 after a U.S. federal jury convicted him of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States and related firearms offenses. According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Hernández and his co-conspirators trafficked more than 400 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine through Honduras between 2004 and 2022. In his pardon announcement, President Trump asserted that Hernández had been treated "unfairly."

Some Members of Congress have questioned and criticized the Hernández pardon. Resolutions condemning the pardon have been introduced in both houses (H.Res. 929 and S.Res. 530). In addition to considering those measures, Congress could use its oversight authority to examine the Administration's justification for the pardon and the potential implications for U.S. security interests and relations with Honduras, among other issues." https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IN12621

"While the Trump administration is busy deporting immigrants with previous petty drug offenses, a member of the president’s cabinet, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has a brother-in-law who served over a decade in prison on federal drug charges after emigrating to the U.S. from Cuba. His name? Orlando Cicilia.

When Rubio was 16, Cicilia, who is married to Rubio’s older sister Barbara, was arrested on federal drug charges for dealing cocaine. After Cicilia immigrated to Miami in 1972 when he was 15, he met Barbara in high school, and the pair started dating. Barbara ended up staying in Miami with Cicilia when Rubio’s father got a bartending gig in Las Vegas in 1979.

The Rubio family decided to move back to Miami two years later and temporarily lived at Cicilia’s home in West Kendall. The family, including 14-year-old Rubio, lived at the house around June 1985 until July 4. At that point, his brother-in-law played a significant role in the $75 million drug operation, right out of his home. One of Cecilia’s drug runners later testified at trial that he cut and stored massive amounts of cocaine in his spare bedroom between March 1985 and January 1986.

Rubio wrote in his memoir, An American Son, that he would visit the home every week to help care for their seven Samoyed dogs, all while his brother-in-law ran this prolific drug operation out of the house. He maintained that he and his family were not aware of Cicilia’s drug dealing at the time, although two law enforcement officials previously told New Times that they found it hard to believe."

1:35PM, You have very Unintelligent Arguments - An Illegal Alien is still a Criminal - and has Committed a Crime.

Every Country in the WORLD - if you enter Illegally - will Arrest You, Fine You, Put You in Prison, and then eventually Deport You. Because it is against their Laws - Every Country has the same Law on Illegally Entry and Illegal Aliens. Why is this so difficult for the Leftist Liberal Democrats to understand - Breaking the Law is a Crime - People come from all over the World and go through the Legal Process of Entry to come here and become a Citizen - You show total Disregard for all the Individuals that struggled and did the Right Legal Things to become a Citizen of the United States. There are NO-SHORTCUTS - even if Biden wanted to let in 15-Million Illegal Aliens and give them Free Housing, Free Food, Free Medical, Free Education, Monthly Stipends, Jobs, Free Cell Phones, Driver Licenses (Of course they did not have Insurance so if they Hit your Car or Killed you they were not Covered). All of the Backs of the Hardworking Taxpayers of America - NO THIS IS WRONG - The Citizens of the United States as well as all the Aliens that came and Worked Hard and Got Clientship Deserve Better Treatment.

And here comes more irrelevant noise and nonsense from who else? The PPPP of course! What a dumbass comment you make in 1239. It demonstrates your malignant disease of the heart and mind. You obviously have issues with lgbtq and probably have latent homosexual desires you won't admit. Who else goes out of their way to perpetually cut and paste hate in all your posts with ignorance and cowardly fear toward humanity the way you do?
