Proverbs 28:27
"When I was hungry, you fed me. When I was thirsty, you gave me drink. When I was a stranger, you welcomed me."
Matthew 25:23.
Not In Broward.
You can share many things in Broward- ideas, talk, money, rides to work, perhaps even bodily fluids during spring break.
But you can't share food. Nope. It's a crime, because after all, it's Broweird.
Last week the
PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR AND WALK AWAY FROM THE PLATE OF FOOD!
From one of the accused in the report here:
One of the police officers said, 'Drop that plate right now,' as if I were carrying a weapon," said Abbott, who runs a nonprofit group called Love Thy Neighbor, Inc. "It's man's inhumanity to man is all it is."
You can almost imagine the city commission meetings up there:
"We can ban the United Way, shut down those pesky charities and ask for some minimum mandatories for even associating with the ACLU. This business of helping people is going to END now on our watch! Ft. Lauderdale will assume it's rightful place as the meanest city in the world!"
Then the commission members jump to their feet in ecstasy, visions not just of hundreds of homeless people being arrested, but their benefactors being imprisoned as well.
And sitting in the corner, nodding with a small smile, the man the myth, the legend, the prosecutor who refuses to ever exercise discretion and who directs his minions to try even innocent defendants with the credo "let the jury decide" Mike Satz.
Wonderful town they have up their, if you're not poor, hungry, or generous.
See You In Court.
We have many fine establishments to feed hungry people in Ft. Lauderdale. Just bring your Amex, don't leave home without it.
ReplyDeleteDon't have a home. Nor an Amex Black , well to bad, to sad. Go directly to Jail, don't pass GO.
I'm so disgusted by this. Aren't there some other "crimes" that the police can focus on? Only in Florida!
ReplyDeleteReally something to be ashamed about in a county where Dems outnumber Reps 2-1. Maybe all the Reps live in Ft. Lauderdale, or are just on the City Counsel?
ReplyDeleteSo rather than help the homeless problem, we just want to criminalize it?
ReplyDeleteyeah, make the city the bad guy, but would you want the homeless eating and defecating and shooting up dope in YOUR neighborhood??? Nope. So STFU.
ReplyDeleteFt Lauderdale is a shit hole, not a neighborhood. Proof is in the fact that its downtown cannot be reached by expressway, or without getting stuck at a railroad crossing during morning rush hour traffic.
ReplyDeleteMike Satz has nothing to do withthis. In Broweird, the State Attorney does not prosecute city ordinances. The city attorneys do. So, the dirty duty will fall on, and stain, the hands of the Fort Lauderdale city prosecutor.
ReplyDelete@Japoline, Aren't there some other "crimes" that the police can focus on?
ReplyDeleteYes, plenty, such as judicial bribery that is beyond the interest of the JQC.
@but would you want the homeless eating and defecating and shooting up dope in YOUR neighborhood??? Nope. So STFU.
Florida Judges routinely ‘defecate’ on the civil rights or ordinary people by violation of the Constitution and laws of the United State and Florida. Florida Judges have been caught driving drunk in our neighborhoods, and found drunk while sitting on the bench hearing cases. Can’t say if they ‘shoot dope’, but at least one judge took ambien and drove under the influence, and smashed her vehicle into government property, a patrol car and a security fence, right in our very own stinky little Florida neighborhood.
