"Judge blocks Philadelphia mayor's ban on feeding homeless in public parks Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/07/14/judge-blocks-philadelphia-mayor-ban-on-feeding-homeless-in-public-parks/
This website gives a video from the Fox news and it explains how a judge struck down Mayor Nutter’s ban on feeding the homeless in public. The reporters interview a few homeless people who are usually fed by others and they said that it was helpful because they might not have eaten in 1 or 2 days. The reporters also give many good reasoning as to why the judge struck down the ban. Also they explain how the striking down of the ban was just temporary until Mayor Nutter finds a better way to keep the city clean without stripping the homeless of the only food sources that they come in contact with for days.
