Society Lacks Concern for the Poor, Homeless
What kind of society says it’s a criminal offense to be poor and sleepy? A society that has no compassion for its poor citizens.
In this mean-spirited society, it’s a crime to be poor and homeless in Brea, it’s a crime to ask for food on the street, it’s definitely a crime to be black, it’s a crime to be gay, it’s a crime to be religious, it’s a crime to be pro-life, and it’s a crime to make a sound in Huntington Beach.
These laws that are enforced by Orange County courts are the most heartless and meaningless laws ever written. It’s as if these cities are competing for who can come up with the most stupid and outrageous laws on the books.
