Topic: Michael Nutter

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter announced a ban on outdoor feeding of the homeless in city parks, citing concerns over food safety and sanitation. Volunteers and activists have criticized the move as an attack on charity. The hosts compare the ban to similar measures in San Francisco, arguing that the "public health" rationale is a pretext for removing the homeless from public view.

Reports from Philadelphia describe violent "flash mobs" involving thousands of teenagers assaulting police and pedestrians. The hosts discuss the media's reluctance to report on these events for fear of encouraging further unrest, while noting the mayor's inability to control the situation.
