However this is the true story
MIAMI (Reuters) – Police in Florida have arrested an activist for feeding the homeless in downtown Orlando.
Eric Montanez, 21, of the charity group Food Not Bombs, was charged with violating a controversial law against feeding large groups of destitute people in the city center, police said on Thursday.
Montanez was filmed by undercover officers on Wednesday as he served “30 unidentified persons food from a large pot utilizing a ladle,” according to an arrest affidavit. The Orlando area is home to Disney World and Universal Studios Florida.

Feeding the hungry masses- Oh The Horror!
Peri says
I expect CSI: Miami will be doing an episode based on this terrible type of crime in their next season. Horatio will put a stop to these lawless ladlers and expose a massive Cambells conspiracy. That reckless 21 year old will be doing 5 to 10 for sure, probably working in the prison kitchen, ladling out soup for all the convicts and learning how to cook crystal meth.
