OKay, I realize that this is almost three years old, but it's so absurd and borderline inhuman that I have to repost it.
"Activist Charged With Violating Orlando's Ban On Feeding Homeless
POSTED: Thursday, April 5, 2007
ORLANDO, Fla. -- An activist was arrested while he was feeding homeless people in a public park.
Eric Montanez, 21, a member of Orlando's Food Not Bombs, violated a city ordinance against feedings in the park Wednesday evening, police said.
Each group is allowed to feed only 25 people, but undercover officers saw Montanez feed 30, police spokeswoman Barbara Jones said.
Food Not Bombs and Montanez are plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit against the city, claiming that the ordinance is unconstitutional, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Montanez was charged with a misdemeanor count of prohibited activity in a park and was released from jail on a $250 bond.
