About Me

For me it is All About Being of Service & Living the Life of the Give-Away....

Being Mindful of those who are unable to speak for themselves; our Non-Two Legged Relations and the Future Generations.

It's about walking on the Canka Luta Waste Behind the Cannunpa and the ceremonies.

It's about Mindfulness and Respect. It's about Honesty and owning up to my foibles.

Man Arrested: Feeding the Homeless Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Man Arrested For Feeding Homeless Gets Arrested THIRD TIME This Month

B1sJn5DCEAAWtfE
The story about 90-year-old Arnold Abbott’s arrest for feeding the 
homeless in Fort Lauderdale, Florida went viral earlier this month. 
Then, on Tuesday – just two days after his first arrest – Abbott 
was arrested again. Just last Wednesday, he found himself in 
cuffs a third time, and the local mayor is not backing down 
from this totalitarian law.
The city’s ban on “public food sharing” went into effect October 
22nd. Abbott, the founder of Love Thy Neighbor Foundation, 
a local nonprofit organization that feeds the homeless, says that 
he never thought for a minute about complying with the 
dictates of the mayor.
The first confrontation occurred on November 2nd when an 
officer literally told the humanitarian hero to “’Drop that 
plate immediately.’ As though it were a weapon,” Abbott recalled.
Abbott has now decided to file a motion against the city to 
uphold a 1999 ruling that permits his organization’s 
feeding of the homeless.
In the meantime, Abbott says he will keep showing up to feed 
the homeless at 5:30 every Wednesday, regardless of how 
many times police arrest him.
“I appreciate all of your concern for my safety,” 
Abbott said to his supporters, “but I have faced 
the Klu Klux Klan on many occasions, and I have 
no fear of spending the night in a Fort Lauderdale 
jail,” Abbott wrote on Facebook. “I thank you all, 
and I pray that we all stay strong. We shall prevail!”
Watch the local report below…

If you agree that the police and local government 
have gone way too far, and that Mayor Seiler has 
overstepped his bounds and is regulating private, 
protected activity, the please take a minute share 
this article with your friends and family, and 
encourage them to contact the Mayor and let him
 know that you support Abbott and that private 
donations should not be punished!

To contact Mayor Seiler, please 
call (954) 828-5003 or 
send an e-mail to
