We posted two blog entries about the absurd Columbia South Carolina law
that would require homeless people to seek shelter or go to jail. With
all the national attention and pressure put on the City from national
groups like the National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Law Center, the petitions on Change.org and the national media stories was too much for the City Council. They backed away from the law
and will go in a different direction. It is amazing to me that they
did not have the backing of their own police, and that not one council
member saw the potential problems associated with this legislation to
vote against it.
