Am trying to add the video and story to this picture. Another very sad example of things that are wrong. This is yet another city in Florida that arrests and fines citizens trying to feed those in need. I posted recently that Ft. Lauderdale arrested a 90+ year old man, and this is another sad tail from Daytona Beach in Florida.
Just returned from an out of state wedding and vacation and collected boxes at the post office from Sheelagh S, RoseMarie, Dianne L, Sally B, Marsha M, and Sandra R. Additionally I received drop offs from Jenny C, and Tristi K. All these donations will be photographed and blog posts forthcoming. Please stay tuned. Thank you ladies.
If the embedded link doesn't work, please try to do a search and read about this sad and growing situation of lawmakers and the police that make the arrest of people doing good.
All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
ReplyDeleteI agree totally with Damaris comment, but have to wonder if there is more to this then we saw printed in this story. I believe that the police officers could not do what they did without getting orders from somewhere to carry out this act. There is apparently some city ordinance that allowed this to happen. THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I. I do have to wonder however what would happen if i set up a soup kitchen in the park near my house. GOD BLESS THE HOMELESS and God bless those that are trying to help them no matter where they are. Our rules need to change for acts of kindness to our fellow men.

So sad that people are getting arrested for feeding the homeless. I would like to know the laws they have in FL. I am looking forward to seeing all the new posts with all the items that have been donated. Hope you had a good trip Sandy.
ReplyDeleteSandy and Marj, part of the reason the cities are having these fines to feed the homeless are because they are broke and they need the money. The people do not stand up for their rights, and they are loosing them every day. Rosemarie
ReplyDeleteOrlando and Lauderdale make lots of money off tourists, can't imagine they're broke. Something is just wrong here, very very wrong.
