A Florida judge ordered the city of Fort Lauderdale to temporarily stop enforcing a law it passed to harass a 90-year-old WW II vet who has been ruining the city's quality of life by feeding homeless people at the beach. The law had been aimed squarely at the activities of Arnold Abbott, a retired jewelry salesmen who had drawn the ire of city officials by continuing to think that homeless people deserve food even though they are unsightly and not at all fun on the beach. Not that it was personal or anything; the law merely limited where volunteer groups could feed homeless people, required permission from property owners, and required any group feeding the homeless to provide portable toilets. It was all about health and safety, not trying to discourage anyone from helping the unsightly poor and mentally ill, who would have no doubt gone away if everyone just pretended they didn't exist. Or if you
I really hate it when all them homeless people stand around me on the beach, casting shadows and making my tan a little uneven. We're all victims here!
<i>If you feed the homeless it will ruin their initiative to get their own food. </i>
But if you give tax breaks to the wealthy, or subsidize oil companies, it doesn&#039;t ruin their initiative to accumulate all of the wealth. I mean, just look at them go!
Mayor Seiler&#039;s &quot;Meet us halfway&quot; suggestions:
1. You can feed the homeless, but the food has to be poisoned. 2. You can only feed the homeless other homeless. 3. You can feed the homeless only if you personally fit them with adult diapers. 4. If you feed the homeless at the beach, it has to be 50 yards offshore. Also, boats aren&#039;t allowed. 5. If you feed the homeless at the beach, it has to be 50 yards above ground. Also, no ladders. 6. You can feed the homeless all they can eat, but only what they poop out. 7. You have to provide each of the people you plan to feed with a home, a job, and nice tasteful attire. Only then you can feed them. 8. Only homeless people who are board-certified as invisible can be fed. You can only get this board-certification in, say, Alaska. 9. Any food given to homeless people must be served to the homeless in a catapult, and then both are launched into another city.
That&#039;s 9 suggestions! That&#039;s a lot! Surely we can come to an agreement!
This is Florida. We would be happy with a simple &quot;try not shoot thy neighbor, assholes.&quot;
That kind of mayor would have been run out of Florida on a rail.
Could He throw in some pillars of salt, too? There seems to be a few good candidates ....
Not Mittens.
...wait, you are telling me Jesus never said &quot;If you feed them they will just keep coming back&quot;?!

<i>&quot;&ldquo;We hope that Mr. Abbott meets us half way&quot; </i>

I don&#039;t think that the mayor can tell the difference, hence the requirement for toilets.
Judge Lynch is awesome. Even after his appointment to the bench, he wore a ZZ Top beard, ponytail, and was a big biker.
Fort Lauderdale: Come for vacation, leave on probation.

The poorz are just flawed like that.

You HAVE to give the wealthy tax breaks, or they&#039;ll lose their initiative to work.
You can feed the homeless, but not on days ending in &quot;y&quot;.
