90 Year Old Man Faces Jail For Feeding The Homeless

[quote](CNN) -- Arnold Abbott handed out four plates of food to homeless people in a South Florida park. Then police stopped the 90-year-old from serving up another bite. "An officer said, 'Drop that plate right now -- like I had a weapon,'" Abbott said. Abbott and two pastors in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, were charged for feeding the homeless in public on Sunday, the city's first crackdowns under a new ordinance banning public food sharing, CNN affiliate WPLG reported.[/quote] [quote]"Just because of media attention we don't stop enforcing the law. We enforce the laws here in Fort Lauderdale," Mayor Jack Seiler told WPLG. He defended the law in an interview with the Sun-Sentinel newspaper. "I'm not satisfied with having a cycle of homeless in the city of Fort Lauderdale," Seiler said. "Providing them with a meal and keeping them in that cycle on the street is not productive."[/quote] [quote] "Providing them with a meal and keeping them in that cycle on the street is not productive."[/quote] You heard it from the mayor himself, folks. Giving food to the homeless only incentivizes them to stay homeless. [url=http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/04/justice/florida-feeding-homeless-charges/index.html]LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF THE BRAVE.

  • -_________________- I am ridiculously fiscally conservative, and even I realize how retarded that law is. That's definitely a violation of freedom: maybe not a constitutional right, but that sounds authoritarian.
