Las Vegas homeless feeding law struck down

This morning, the injunction against the ordinance banning the feeding of the homeless in public parks, filed by the Nevada ACLU, was granted by a district court judge. Yes, that means that you can again go down to a park in Las Vegas, give a sandwich to a homeless person, and not worry about being cited -- at least until the city writes another overly broad ordinance.
