90-Year-Old Vet Arrested For Feeding Homeless Will Hand Out Christmas Eve Dinner

Quote:

Arnold Abbott, a 90-year-old veteran who has been repeatedly arrested for handing out food to the homeless in Ft. Lauderdale, will be able to give them dinner on Christmas Eve. In October, the city of Ft. Lauderdale passed a new ordinance cracking down on those who give out food to the homeless in public. Abbott, a veteran of World War II who has handed out meals to the homeless every Wednesday for years, was arrested almost immediately after the law went into effect. He has since been cited two more times for continuing to hand out food to the needy. Earlier this month, Broward Circuit Judge Thomas Lynch ordered a temporary stay of enforcement for the ordinance. http://ift.tt/1Egi1ki
