90-Year-Old Serial Feeder of the Homeless Arnold Abbott Re-Arrested in Florida

I blogged the other day about 90-year-old Arnold Abbott and a
couple of ministers
being arrested
in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, for violating a city
ordinance barring feeding the homeless in public.

Everything law and order types say is true: you let these
criminals out on the street, they are just going go commit more
crimes, as the Daily Mail reports that Abbott did it
again, and
was arrested again
.

Mayor Jack Seiler, the Mail
reports: 

told Local 10, ‘Mr. Abbott has decided that he
doesn’t think these individuals should have to have any interaction
with government, that they should be fed in the parks. We
disagree.’

Again, Reason’s sadly large archives
of stories about people arrested for feeding the homeless, and this
Reason TV video about Philadelphia’s war on this sort of
charity:
