90-year-old Arnold Abbott, a veteran of World War 2 and founder of Love Thy Neighbor, has been feeding homeless people for 23 years through his organization.
This past weekend he was arrested along with two Pastors when trying to feed homeless people in a Fort Lauderdale, FL park. He faces 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
“One of the police officers said, ‘Drop that plate right now,’ as if I were carrying a weapon,” stated Abbott.

They will arrest a 90 yr old man for this but drive buy as gang bangers stand on the street corners in broad daylight and sell drugs.
I think karma will happen to cops who did this and karma is not good
I clicked on this story and all I got was advertising, hoping to get the truth as to why the Police arrested him. The police were doing their job, but there seems to be an underlying reason for this shock and awe type of post. Some try to incite people to draw them to their advertising agenda. I received no information regarding what happened to result in this hero’s arrest. Just saying. Don’t judge the book until you get to read the whole story. Truth and Action didn’t give the whole truth on this one.
the cops are like Nazis, the exact thing this man fought against.
How did we let it get this far–change is due now; because this is all WRONG!!
I am still astounded and demoralized by the ignorance I see in the comments. How in Hell could a law against feeding people be accepted? How could any of you think that feeding people is grounds for an arrest? Do you really believe that a law like that should be obeyed, simply because it’s a law? What kind of heartless animal are you?
what kind of a person would arrest somebody for them feeding the homeless. scarey . what if that was his Dad?
This is a result of Obama’s Fascist government. Hopefully, things might start turning around now and we can actually feed the hungry, take care of our old and create jobs.
THOSE POLICE and the city council all need removal and arrest
David you wrong…this area this man was arrested is VERY republican and conservative. I lived in the area a few years back. You can’t blame Obama for everything….do you blame Obama for Furgeson???? Thats is a very white, conservative run city.
