Man on Trial for Helping Poor

Heres soemthing that should shock you. A man is on trial for feeding homeless people. When I saw the headline I figured he has fed them rat poison. This is not the case. A man is in trouble for helping those less fortunate.

Evidentially, there is a ban in Orlando that wont allow for feeding of the homeless in a public place. Would you like some discrimination with your soup?

And the prosecution has videotape evidence of an Eric Montanez giving food to people without homes! Eric! The audacity!!

Eric argues that being poor shouldnt be criminalized, and local folks say the cops should do things more productive than harass good hearted people.

The ACLU says  That this is outrageous.

And they are right.
