Oh Florida.
On Wednesday evening, 90 year old Arnold Abbott of Fort Lauderdale was arrested for feeing the homeless. The city recently passed a city-wide ordinance that made "food sharing" outdoors much more strictly regulated, effectively making the work of Abbott's Love Thy Neighbor organization illegal.
Abbott could face fines or even jail time, because of his dedication to his cause. So clearly, I'm not glad that he was arrested, but I find this story to be an inspiration. Arnold Abbott is making me happy today.
