Hinzugefügt: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]The grandmother is facing $7,200 in fines [music] for feeding homeless veterans in a city park every Sunday. Watch the judge use the equal protection clause to stop the city from targeting her charity while they ignore every other picnic [music] in the park.

[00:00:14]>> My late husband was a Vietnam veteran, and I just want to make sure these men get one hot meal a week. I clean up every scrap of trash, but the city keeps sending [music] officers to hand me tickets while I'm serving plates.

[00:00:30]>> The city requires a specific permit for food distribution to ensure public health and park safety. Mrs. Hauraine has been operating an unpermitted program for 2 years, [music] and we cannot allow exceptions that bypass our health guidelines.

[00:00:46]>> You cannot enforce an ordinance only against [music] a woman feeding the hungry while ignoring every birthday party and soccer picnic in the same [music] park. This is a violation of the equal protection clause, and I am dismissing all 46 citations immediately.
