Funny thing, I live in Columbia S.C. and this is the first I've heard of this "law". It must not be being enforced, as there are still plenty of homeless folks wandering about. Just walk around downtown any day or night of the week and you'll see them everywhere.
Who's been counting all the homeless anyway and how do they know how many of them are "missing"? Maybe they've just moved to other areas. A lot of homeless are transients anyway, especially the younger ones.
Orlando F.L. was arresting people who tried to feed the homeless a few years back. They were also busing homeless out to remote areas away from Orlando during their 'clean up Orlando' crusades, as the homeless population got so bad business owners were complaining. They were also going out of their way trying to shut down 'unsavory' businesses that didn't align with their 'family friendly' motif. The city relies almost entirely on tourism, so the homeless and the adult shops and nightclubs on every corner were scaring away those tourists, or so they thought.Yet the more of them they shut down, the more tourism dropped.
Fox is no different in it's lies and distortion of facts than CNN or any of the other major news networks. They all do the same thing because they're all controlled by the same handful of investors. It's all just theater for the sheeple. And UK/Euro news networks are no different. Mainstream media is the problem, regardless of whether they use donkeys or elephants as their mascots. For what its worth, Fox still ranks highest in viewership and ratings by about 3 times as much as its competitors. Which is actually kind of scary, but it is what it is.
