Democratic led city of Fremont California is slated to vote on a law that criminalizes "aiding and abetting the homeless" what the hell ever that means. The bill also criminalizes being homeless, sleeping in any type of public area like parks or sidewalks.
The Democratic Mayor Raj Salwan defended the insane law by saying "won’t target outreach workers handing out food and clothing" though the law doesn't make a difference.
