    So let me get this straight, if I, living in Florida, ever found a fire ant free spot to lay down and relax in a park, I’ll be harassed by cops now? Or is this just for the “shittier” neighborhoods? What about people at the beach?

    The current governor and Florida legislature are a bunch of mean spirited bigoted buffoons.

      RTFA. The bill requires municipalities to provide encampments.

      You know, so they can concentrate people somewhere. In a centralized camp.

        I can already imagine razor wire fencing and a watchtower or two around these public “encampments” soon, you know, for their “safety”.
