Ft. Lauderdale and their assault on the homeless

Mm. Just saw the news. Again, it seems, and please click on the hyperlinks below: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida is arresting people for feeding the homeless.

First is the 90 year old man who they arrested. They follow this up on cracking down on three others, including a minor.

Way to go Ft. Lauderdale Goverment! You get the Pharisee award.

Their logic, per their Mayor: 

"The ordinance does not prohibit feeding the homeless," the city has said in a statement released to ABC News' Fort Lauderdale affiliate WPLG. "It regulates the activity in order to ensure it is carried out in an appropriate, organized, clean and healthy manner."

Right. So you want people to do good, but you want them to do so in a place of your choosing? And you HONESTLY think that your government won't bog them down with red tape?

Some points to consider: 

Woe to those who issue unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights. - Isaiah 10: 1-2

But whoever earns an offense or a sin and then blames it on an innocent person has taken upon himself a slander and manifest sin. - Surat An-Nisa' 4:112

O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah , even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do. - Surat An-Nisa' 4:135

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven - Matthew 5:10-12

Surely we will not dare say that these laws are unjust, or rather, that they are not laws at all. For it seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all. - St. Augustine

One may well ask: "How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?" The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all." - Martin Luther King Jr

Law is order, and good law is good order. - Aristotle

What's the gist of what I am saying? 

Laws which are unjust or poorly made which will harm those more than help those will be eventually met with civil disobedience by people who feel compelled to act, be it for moral, ethical or religious purpose. 

If you will arrest people for feeding the homeless, for not feeding them where YOU want, then I suggest you build more cells. And pray you can handle the backlash.
