City sued for harassing disabled homeless

City officials in Laguna Beach, California, really aren't in the holiday spirit, are they?

Right-wing city leaders have in effect criminalized being disabled and homeless - under the guise of an anti-sleeping ordinance. The city authorized sweeps of beaches and parks to harass, threaten, and arrest disabled homeless people.

All out of sheer meanness.

But now the ACLU is suing the city because the anti-sleeping ordinance is unconstitutional. The city of Laguna Beach had plenty of time to enact City Council's recommendations for dealing with homelessness, but it willfully failed to do so.

City leaders who supported cracking down on the homeless should also be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
