Do Democrats enjoy losing elections? It seems so as they double down on their obsession with migrant criminals. Witness the clown-world antics this week as a US Senator tries to bring 'home' a deported violent gangster.

Is the end of 'non-crime hate incidents' in sight? The Opposition is tabling an amendment to scrap them. This is something we all need to get behind ? so please use the FSU's template to tell your MP to vote for it.

Yvette Cooper will publish a "league table" of "offences committed by foreign criminals living in the UK while awaiting deportation". The problem is that some nationalities are more likely to be deported than others.

Food Not Bombs activist arrested and charged for feeding people

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Saturday April 07, 2007 14:30author by Seán Ryan Report this post to the editors

Eric Montanez arrested and charged with feeding the hungry.

Food Not Bombs, a 'radical' group in the US have made headlines all over the planet this morning.

21 year old activist, Eric Montanez, has been arrested in Miami for feeding hungry people. Apparently, Montanez decided to become a criminal, as he thought that feeding people was more important than trying to sell stuff to them.

Montanez, broke the law by attempting to feed a group of 30 people, in violation of a law that states that feeding groups of more than 25 people is illegal. Apparently poverty, homelessness and starvation, tends to put people off, in regard to splurging out for luxuries in the shops of Florida.

Montanez will be the first person ever to be prosecuted under this law.

Police took samples of the stew that Montanez presumed to feed people with. In Florida, in order to feed groups of more than 25 people, one needs to secure a special permit. One can only be issued a special permit twice a year.

Well done Food Not Bombs and Eric Montanez.

There are many such laws in the US. For example, in Atlanta, it's illegal to give a starving person a sandwich that you prepared at home.

How long will it be before we catch up with these progressive laws, in good ole, flexible and impressionable Ireland?
