He faces 60 days in jail and a $500 fine, and he intends to get cited again Wednesday night, when he sets out to feed some of the Florida city’s estimated 10,000 homeless on a public beach. “I know that I will be arrested again, and I am prepared for that,” Abbott said by phone from his office at Love Thy Neighbor, Inc., a nonprofit he established in honor of his wife, Maureen, after her death in a car accident 23 years ago. “I am my brother’s keeper, and what they are doing is just heartless.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Ft Lauderdale for many years & as you know,I still live in Broward County,Florida We have a saying here"Arrive on vacation & leave on probation",,,,,,the State of Florida has little revenue other than fines,citations,court cost,monthly probation fees etc....."arrest,arrest,arrest,tickets,tickets,tickets",,,,,,,this is what the politicians want to win favor with the voters,,,,,the voters are the elderly Florida communities & they demand THEIR beaches free from "riff-raff",funny thing is most of them are but part-time residents that are only here half the year,,,,,,,,many of these "snow birds "were my clients,most of which are wealthy,jewish,northerners,,,,,,they did a fine job ridding FtLauderdale of the spring-breakers and they make a lot of noise when they want something done to keep their "view" from anything they deem unsightly...............this of course is still my opinion but I have many good reasons to believe this to be the plain truth of it..... Love,Kwik Understand please,I am not at all anti-Semetic but in my many years here I have seen & encountered quite the opposite......"anti-Christian" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a new expression to me. I am guessing that means somebody who lives in the colder north and moves to the warmer south for winter, am I right?

The reason for the laws is because it keeps people away from the city food? Id think the city would be happy-saves them money. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow birds is what we in arizona call those who move here from snowy states/countries in the wintertime to spend the winters in warmer climates. Im guessing florida has the same expression.
