How truly sad ;( That a world that is supposed to be the most civilized and technologically advanced in history, So they say!!. Are the most uncivilized, barbaric, unhumanistic, ludicrious, unsympathetic,and uncaring civilization on the planet. You now get arrested for kindness!!! When will the world learn true compassion and humanity. Someone has to take care of them. Shame on this country having homeless in the first place. With empty buildings across this country!!! Shame on them who arrested him.

I suspect the real reason is that the clients were considered unsightly and the city did not want them congregating so visibly.

We were just talking about how more people should be like the Barber, how the world would be so much a better place. And asking for hugs from people who consider themselves untouchable was an extra mitzvah thrown in. Heart breaking.
