    On one hand I say good, I'm not a fan of Orlando Fl.
    The place is basically owned and run by Disney and Universal.
    I don't know if you get the show Cops over there, but in all the years it's been on, it's never ever done a show from Orlando.

    Now on the other hand, this type of stuff makes me cringe.
    All these hackers will accomplish is to give big brother another reason to tighten the rains on the Internet.

      Been watching cops for years. It seems that a small section of the population is responsible for the majority of atrocities. Very much like the U.K.

      The Kill Switch is coming. Isn't the law approval soon? I know I read something last months.

      Edit: It was approved already????

    This isn't the first time Florida has pulled this one. It is disgusting enough that we have hungry in this country - to arrest someone for feeding someone is criminal insanity.

    I just wish the citizens would storm the capital instead of seeing an Internet hacking group being the only ones taking action against this travesty to humanity.

      Sal it's not really Fl. as much as it is the city of Orlando.
      They don't want the homeless in those parks because they are in areas where tourists go.
      They want the image of Orlando being THE tourist destination and will do everything they can to keep that image.

    Looks like they did what they said they were going to.

    Can't get on the city of Orlando site.


    That's stupid to arrest people feeding the homeless, a lot of homeless are there through very little fault of their own. Now they really look like asses.

    If they want to save face, Orlando and Disney should set aside an area somewhere.

    Could call it Homeless World or something.
