A man has been found not guilty of breaking a law against feeding homeless people outside a public library in Houston, Texas.
Jury nullification, the people see this law and know it is 100% ignorant.
Yes. But the fact that the law even exists, that the guy got charged, and that the charges didn’t get dismissed before this point is extremely concerning. There were multiple points of failure before we even got to this point.
Lawmakers never should have created such a shitty law. Police never had to issue tickets. Prosecutors never had to charge him. The judge could have dismissed the charges as utterly ridiculous. But no, all went through and we had to depend a jury to stop this bullshit.
Also, the article has the quote:
The city of Houston said it will continue to “vigorously pursue violations of its ordinance relating to feeding of the homeless,” according to a statement released to news outlets.
So despite all of this, the city of Houston is determined to still be evil little fucks. People tell me Houston is supposed to be progressive, but I’m not seeing it. Houston folks, what the hell?
People need food to survive; he truly believes in the “sanctity of life”.
A 90 year old food not bombs member sued for first amendment violations and violations of the freedom of religion law in Florida.

He cuts to the real point of why this is so disgusting.
