1. The article focuses on three men who were cited as a result of feeding homeless people. Their main point is that people who are starving cannot be ignored and left to starve.
2. The article quotes the man who was arrested, Arnold Abbot, "One of the police officers said, 'Drop that plate right now,' as if I were carrying a weapon." A 90-year-old man carrying a plate of food, trying to help people who are in desperate need, is possibly detained for "up to 60 days in jail."
3. People in need cannot be ignored and left to die. Passing laws and regulations will not keep people off the streets, instead it will drive people into desperation; leading to dumpster diving, stealing and the like.
