Court Says Begging Is Protected Speech, Allows Challenge To Anti-Panhandling Law
The city of Charlottesville, VA, (home to the awesomest University on the planet) currently has a law on the books that forbids panhandling in and around the city’s Downtown Mall area. A group of homeless men tried to fight the ban in court, but a District Court judge dismissed the case. However, a federal appeals panel has said the lower court was too hasty in tossing the case out. [via CourthouseNews.com]

Hey, Bozo:
Washington & Lee is THE university of Virginia!
Only an idiot from UVa Law School would think that panhandling is "speech".
God save us from the liberals that inhabit that cesspool.
