Florida Homeless Hunger

OFFICIAL: Compassion is illegal in the USA.. Lets do something NOW

Yup you read that right…..

It is now illegal to show human compassion in the USA… It is now illegal to give hungry people food… it is now illegal to give thirsty people water!!!!
But we can do something about it.. and we need your help urgently…..
Washington Post:
Feeding the homeless is usually seen as a charitable act beyond reproach. But three members of national activist group Food Not Bombs found themselves on the other side of the law in Orlando, Fla. Wednesday for doing just that in a public park, an act that violates a city ordinance.
The three were arrested for, according to spokesperson for the Orlando police, “intentionally violat[ing] the statute,” which bans feeding groups larger than 25 people in the park without a permit. Groups can apply for a permit for each location twice a year.
Douglas Coleman, a spokesman for the group, sees the issue differently: “They basically carted them off to jail for feeding hungry people.For them to regulate a time and place for free speech and to share food, that is unacceptable,”
so what can we do now?
Sign the petition: If you try to feed him in Orlando, they will put you behind bars
