WSVN-7 Homeless Hate Crime Bill Signing
Fri, 05/21/2010 - 02:22 | Mark Targett
Today the Govenor of Florida, Charlie Crist, signed the bill to include "Homeless" in the hate crimes statute. Broward County was #1 for hate crimes toward the homless for the past 3 years. Teens were mostly involved in these crimes. Hopefully, changes toward how our children look at the homeless will now change. Who is to blame? especially when it is illegal to feed the homeless in most cities.

Slain Davie woman who helped homeless was 'kind-hearted,' her family says

When Jill Dornbush learned her nephew needed a place to live, she didn't hesitate to let him travel from New York to stay with her in her apartment.
It didn't matter that the Davie woman didn't have a close relationship with her nephew, Alex Dornbush. She let him stay for several months in 1993.
"She put me up and helped me out," said Alex Dornbush, 36, of Vancouver Island, Canada. "She'd help out anyone."
Homeless hate crime bill passes Senate
Fri, 04/30/2010 - 02:14 | Mark Targett
A bill adding the homeless to the state's hate crime law is headed to Gov. Charlie Crist after the Senate's passed it 25-10 Tuesday morning.
The bill was triggered by a 2006 spree of attacks by three Broward teens who beat homeless men for sport. The teens beat one sleeping homeless man to death with a baseball beat.
One of the non-fatal beatings was captured on video tape and gained national attention.
The Senate took up HB 11 sponsored by Rep. Ari Porth, D-Coral Springs.
