🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in Jacksonville FL after a 77-YEAR-OLD man with a BROKEN ANKLE, walking with a CANE, was put in HANDCUFFS at his own warehouse...
...for leaving cat food out for 7 stray cats he's cared for for 16 YEARS since his ONLY SON passed away!!!
The charge? "Feeding raccoons."
Florida put a grieving 77-year-old father in HANDCUFFS over a bowl of cat food.
His name is Louis Abbruzze.
In 2010, Louis and his wife lost their only son, and not long after, a few stray cats started showing up around their warehouse.
They did everything right.
Trapped them.
Got them vaccinated.
Got them fixed.
Found homes for as many as they could.
But even with all of that work, seven cats stayed.
Every night for 16 YEARS, Louis has cracked the warehouse door so those cats can come in out of the weather, eat, and sleep.
"These cats are not just cats," Louis said. "They're my children."
"That's what kept my wife and I going. We found something that made us human again."
Then, about a year and a half ago, the property's HOA hired new management.
Suddenly the door had to stay shut.
Then, somebody called Florida Fish and Wildlife and said a tenant was feeding raccoons.
FWC officers came out and warned him and he was cited.
Louis says he did exactly what they told him: feed the cats, and pull the food if a raccoon shows up.
"I started doing exactly what the FWC said," he said.
AND IT GETS WORSE.
On September 15th, the officers came back.
Not with another citation. With HANDCUFFS.
"He says, 'Now turn around and put out your hands,'" Louis said.
"Cuffed me. Put my cuffs on right there. I can't walk. I've got a broken ankle. I'm walking with a cane."
They put a 77-year-old man with a cane in a car an hauled him off from his own property on a MISDEMEANOR.
He says he was treated "as a common criminal."
Meanwhile, in the same state, violent offenders walk out on no bond every single day.
But the old man with the cats? Cuffs.
LET THE MAN FEED HIS FREAKING CATS!!!!!!!
A 13-year-old girl was kidnapped from her home. Hours later, a man stopping for gas noticed something that made his heart drop.
It was the exact SUV from the Amber Alert, right in front of him. Daniel Cosby checked the plate, realized it matched, and called 911.
But Daniel didn’t just make the call and drive away. He stayed behind the SUV for several miles, keeping it in sight and updating dispatch as deputies raced to catch up.
When police finally moved in, the suspect, 45-year-old Jason Castillo, refused to stop and tried to flee. Deputies disabled the SUV and surrounded it. Inside, they found 13-year-old Juliet alive and unharmed.
Daniel was just going about his day, but because he paid attention and refused to look away when it mattered, a missing girl made it home safely.
So let’s share this story and give Daniel the recognition he deserves.
A Belgian Malinois who refused food and paced nonstop after his officer went down finally got his thirty-minute visit - and moved around every injury like he already knew exactly where they were.
@EshaAA33 Every culture has plusses and minuses. It is the tolerance of these differences that creates freedom. You don’t have to share my belief system, but you do have to respect it, if you expect me to respect yours.
