Arizona Town Arrests Grandma For Feeding the Needy
Bullhead City Community Park in Arizona is a lovely spot for a picnic. But don’t dare open your picnic to someone in need, or you might be arrested under a new ordinance that criminalizes sharing food in public parks “for charitable purposes.” That’s Bullhead City’s lesson for Norma Thornton, a 78-year-old grandmother who for years shared food in the park with anyone who asked. Bullhead City police officers arrested Norma in March after she’d fed people and cleaned up the area; now, she's teamed up with IJ to end the city’s ban on charity.
