Don't Feed Homeless People...

...or you might get arrested for promoting homelessness like this 90 year old guy from great ol' Fort Lauderdale, Florida

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...less/18525049/

"Two pastors and a 90-year-old man were arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Sunday for feeding the homeless.

Local 10 reports that homeless advocate Arnold Abbott, 90, and Christian ministers Dwayne Black and Mark Sims face up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine on charges they resisted a new ordinance in the beachside city that places heavy restrictions on public food sharing.

The arrests were captured on video and tweeted by several sources:

When i saw the thread title, i was expecting you to say: don't feed (or give money) to the homeless because they'll just buy more crack.

Why the ordinance? Prevent some people trying to poison the homeless?

This law was model after laws which bar people from feeding the pigeons and rats, because we want them to go away and not stay. They figure it may work the same way with the homeless.

South Park should do a show on this one, that could be pretty funny.

Just throw a piece of salami out the window and keep going.

I've tried that before, but got arrested for indecent exposure.

They already did a pretty funny episode about the homeless. "Can you spare some change?"

Okay that reminds me of what my college buddy use to do to the street people, before they would get a chance to ask for money he would begin to ask them for spear change and if the would ask why, he would explain how he was poor college student and the school took all his money and he had nothing left to buy even a coffee with.

I wouldn't feed the homeless, law or no law.
