90 year-old Fort Lauderdale resident Arnold Abbott was arrested for feeding the homeless. The first time the police confronted Abbott they treated him like a criminal.
The first confrontation occurred on November 2nd when an officer literally told the humanitarian hero to “’Drop that plate immediately.’ As though it were a weapon,” Abbott recalled.We wouldn't want a 90 year-old man using a paper plate as a weapon. Abbott has vowed to continue to feed the homeless.
And yet, the people who passed that law, and those who aren't revoking it in shock now, deserve their share of mockery too.
