The Gateway Pundit reported on the arrest of an Arizona grandmother, Norma Thornton, 78, in 2022 for feeding homeless people in public, violating Arizona law.
The grandmother said that she was so shocked about being arrested that she thought it was a joke.
“Still, I thought it was a kind of joke, someone playing a prank– until I was put in the back of the police car,” Thornton told Fox 5 Vegas. “I have always believed that when you have plenty, you should share.”
The Institute for Justice (IJ) filed a federal lawsuit against Bullhead City in October 2022 on Norma’s behalf.
