nope
i have never been arrested so i guess i am better than them.
and i do follow the rule of law no matter how stupid it is.
and i do think people need to be helping themselves instead of having their hands out.
i am give a man a fish you feed him for a day teach a man how to feed and you fed him for a lifetime crowd.
what people like those and possibly yourself fail to see is the promotion of dependency.
i liken this to a zoo feed the animals domestic them and if they ever get turned back into the wild they cant survive from the morality imposed on them by people like them.
not very humane in my opinion

"They intentionally violated the statute," said Lt. Barbara Jones, an Orlando police spokeswoman.
Of course they did. THEY DID NOT LOSE THEIR HUMANITY LIKE YOU...
Freaking cops. Whoever passed this law needs to lose his job and go homeless. The cops who arrested those 3 persons need to lose their jobs and become homeless and if a judge dares to convict those 3 people, he needs to lose his job and go homeless.
I wish the governor would sweep in and overthrow that stupid law.

They made this law on the basis of "Feed them and more will come".
What do you know?
I was homeless for a good 8 years. I know a lot. I would go where there was food. Homeless people know how to use a phone... meaning they would call their buddy's up saying "- Common down!

If the law forbids them from giving food to the homeless, does it also forbid selling it to them for, say 1p or the equivelent in other currencies ?

How shameful.
What does this say about us as a society when we criminalize feeding the hungry or helping the needy.
And how does this reflect on us as a society for allowing and for tolerating it, how does this make us look in the eyes of others?
This is the most absurd and despicable thing i have seen in a long time, since the panhandling ban in Atlanta about which i wrote a nice letter to the editor illuminating these same things, such as...how is a homeless person going to be able to A) post bond or B) pay any fines, and C) just more taxpayer money keeping these people locked away for being needy.
Every day brings a new reason to loathe our society and our country even more.

It is a shame that this organization cannot buy from trader joes, but I imagine they work with limitied funding.
As for rotten food, not all foods considered rotten are unsafe for human consumption.
You'd be surprised what you'd eat if you ever were truly hungry.
Did you really eat rotten food knowing it would make you "violently sick"?
