Thug gets his sorry ass hauled to prison!

[Takket]

Good riddance!



So this guy gets locked up, which means he's spent more time in jail than all the Wall Street execs who destroyed the global economy and stole over a trillion dollars. But this country isn't fucked up or anything.

1. Pretty screwed up, huh?

[daschess1987]

2. Nothing surprises me anymore...

It's a heartless system and tptb really do want to kill the poor.

[joshdawg]

3. And since Scott got re-elected,

these type of things will only get worse.
Florida: What the F**K were you thinking?!

[Ineeda]

4. We sane ones

hang our heads in shame, shaking them in utter despair.
It's nice weather here, though. <sigh>

[joshdawg]

5. Same here in Texas,

what with the crook Abbott and his gang of republican thugs.
We're right there with you, hanging and shaking.

[MoonRiver]

16. Same here in Kansas

[ChiciB1]

10. I Live Here In FL & Still Think Something's

JUST NOT up to snuff! Very weird!

[Brigid]

6. So this guy feeds people and goes to jail . . .

While the banksters and the Kochroaches are walking around free. If this isn't a sign of the times, I'm sure I don't know what is.

7. Wealth and power

is merely preparing for the post-apocalyptic society it is creating.

8. florida again

geez........ This state is the cause of untold grief for our WHOLE nation and other country's in the world. How fucked up is that? DAMN!!!!!!!! I should have left this hell hole years ago when my inner counselor told me, "it's gonna get bad in this country, find a better place to live". Didn't do it, I regret that big time.

9. instead of helping those down and out

"I'm not satisfied with having a cycle of homeless in the city of Fort Lauderdale," Seiler said. "Providing them with a meal and keeping them in that cycle on the street is not productive." (Seiler is the mayor of the crazy town)

Back in the early 70s Dick Nixon of all people floated the concept of a Guaranteed Annual Income - an amount such that a person could live a decent life. It is so much needed. I believe there are some European countries that have such a thing

11. "new ordinance banning public food sharing,"

Dafuq?

[cvoogt]

12. he is not in jail

He should not have been arrested.. but is not (yet) in jail. At least, not according to the article.

[AlbertCat]

13. Where are all those "good Christians" in Fort Lauderdale?

...or are there only 3 or 4 of them?


What are these now starving homeless supposed to do?

Mayor Jack Seiler's answer...translated: Get a home...or starve to death.....duh! Or at least move to Pompano Beach!

[mountain grammy]

14. Sounds Republican to me.. create an economy that leaves people hopeless and homeless

then punish anyone who tries to help. If you're poor, blame yourself.

[Enthusiast]

15. They might as well fire up the ovens. It would be about as humane.

[asiliveandbreathe]

17. We don't want them hanging around

so don't feed them - are you kidding me, someone actually said that??????

Like don't feed the rabbits or birds -

This guy, whoever made this abominable comment, should be put in the town square and humiliated....I am so disgusted at this point..but I am not ready to give up....

We must find the answers!

[Takket]

18. If a hurricane hits the area, and the red cross shows up with food, will they be arrested?
