Fort Lauderdale Law Created To Kill Homeless People Via Starvation
Â This past Friday, a new city ordinance in Fort Lauderdale took effect, causing the public handouts of food to homeless to become a crime, punishable by fines and jail time.No sooner had the ordinance become law than city police found it compulsory to citeÂ three men for handing out food to the homeless, including 2 church pastors. All three men, including a 90-year-old Arnold Abbot â who has been feeding the homeless for over 20 years â could face fines of up to $500 each, and 60 days in jail.âThey donât understand why this law was created, and why weâre just trying to do our jobs,â said Officer Joe Goldsmith of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. âSee, we have a severe homeless population here, and when you feed them, they just keep coming back. Homeless people arenât anyÂ different from feral cats. Once you give them food, more come around, and they never leave. Weâve got to nip that problem in the bud.âFort Lauderdale officials say that they created the ordinance specifically to eradicate the homeless problem âplaguingâ their city.âItâs disgusting. I hate homeless people,â said one city council member. âI mean, my God â get aÂ jobÂ for crying out loud. The fact that we have so many homeless people here, itâs just mind-boggling. This new ordinance is perfect. Once we start fining these damn do-gooder types who feed the homeless, theyâll stop helping. Once the homeless canât get food, theyâll either move on to other towns, or theyâll just die off. Either way, problem solved.ââThese people are just down on their luck, and they need a bite to eat and a friendly face,â said Mark Stuart, a resident of Fort Lauderdale who has often brought food to homeless shelters around the city. âThis ordinance spits in the face of what everyone knows is right, and thatâs helping your fellow-man. No one wants these people, who just need some help, to die.ââActually, thatâs exactly what we want to happen,â said Goldsmith. âI mean, come on, theyâreÂ homeless. A lot of them even have mental illnesses or diseases, for crying out loud.Â We donât need that kind of shit âuglying upâ our city. Letâs get rid of them, and we can become a nice, happy place once more. This law will just bring more pain to the homeless, and theyâll suffer. Itâs great!â
