Bruce Alan Hodgson, Florida Homeless Man, Chooses Jail Cell Over Cold
By The Huffington Post News Editors
It was so cold, it was criminal.
A 38-year-old homeless man got himself arrested for trespassing at a Home Depot in Pompano Beach on Monday so he could spend a few nights in a warm jail, according to the Broward Sheriff‘s arrest report.
It’s not the first time Bruce Alan Hodgson has chosen a jail cell over a cold spell. He’s been arrested 28 times in nearly eight years, according to Florida Department of Law Enforcement records, and 16 of them were during the winter months.

Casey Anthony comes out of seclusion for meeting
After 19 months of seclusion, Casey Anthony emerged into the public spotlight once again on Monday for a meeting with creditors in her bankruptcy case.
Dressed all in black, Anthony arrived at the federal courthouse in Tampa with her attorney, Cheney Mason, several hours early for the bankruptcy meeting. The pair was mobbed by photographers as they made a short walk to the courthouse.
Anthony’s hair was long and dark and she wearing a sunglasses, black heels and stockings and carrying a black hat. She appeared flustered and hurried and did not address the media.
Anthony, 26, has not made any public appearances since she left jail in July 2011 after being acquitted of murder in the death her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
Anthony filed for bankruptcy in Florida in late January, claiming about $1,000 in assets and $792,000 in liabilities. Court papers list Anthony as unemployed, with no recent income.
Her listed debts include $500,000 for attorney fees and costs for her criminal defense lawyer during the trial, Jose Baez; $145,660 for the Orange County Sheriff’s office for investigative fees and costs; $68,540 for the Internal Revenue Service for taxes, interest and penalties; and $61,505 for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for court costs.
The filling also stated that she was a defendant in several lawsuits, including one brought by Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez for defamation in Orange County Circuit Court.
Fernandez-Gonzalez said her reputation was damaged by Anthony telling detectives that a baby sitter by the same name kidnapped Caylee. The detectives were investigating the 2008 disappearance of the girl, who later was found dead. Anthony’s attorney said details offered by Anthony did not match Fernandez-Gonzalez and clearly showed Anthony wasn’t talking about her.
Anthony had not been seen in public since she left an Orange County jail on July 16, 2011, 12 days after she was acquitted of murdering Caylee but convicted of lying to investigators and sentenced to four years in jail. With credit for the nearly three years she spent in jail since August 2008 and good behavior, she had to serve only several days when she was sentenced July 7.
Leaving jail just after midnight, Anthony was hustled into an SUV by her then-attorney, Jose Baez, and drove off, disappearing from public view.
“Law Enforcement” Officials Are No Less Dangerous Than The Public At Large
By Ron-Reale
A news story was released stating that a number of gun manufacturers around the country will no longer sell to Law Enforcement officers or government agencies within the states that have the most stringent weapons restrictions against their citizens’ rights to own similar weapons.
Upon reading this story, as well the comments, this was my answer to one particular comment, whose author was worried about “Law Enforcement” officers and officials being punished for the decisions of various government toadies.
This country has gone to hell since our local police were turned from “Peace Officers” into “Law Enforcement Officers”. We no longer have a police force concerned about the local citizenry; we have a roving occupying force of heavily-armed tax collectors on constant alert for our wallets and freedoms.
As a member of a generational police family, I can tell you without equivocation that there is nothing special about my family members that makes them more able to handle their Second Amendment rights than anyone else in my community.
As to the basic British concept that brought us our police, this century-long experiment with a police force to protect us has failed. The police are more worried about maintaining their perks and benefits than the deaths on the street. They cannot be everywhere we are to protect us. We have all heard the saying “Police, minutes away when seconds count!”
It is time for all legal citizens to learn to protect themselves and their families through personal and community-endorsed training and take our streets and wasted tax money from this out-of-control occupying force. According to the FBI/DOJ Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics, Law Enforcement commits more homicides, assaults, and sexual assaults against the populace than citizens commit against each other. And only marginally less crime on the whole! This is not to say that all Law Enforcement officers are criminals carrying guns. Neither is it right for them to say all citizens with guns are criminals.
We would all be safer today had the criminal Law Enforcement Officer Wyatt Earp been shot dead as a traitor to America and the Constitution as soon as he declared people in his city had no Second Amendment rights.
We have created a corrupt class of super-citizen that needs to be stripped of its position of superiority. And we must take back responsibility both for our own safety and that of the community. We live here. Give us back the right to protect ourselves. Within a very short time, the recidivist crime rate would plummet, and the streets of ALL communities in America would be safe to walk, 24 hours a day.
Kudos to these gun companies for their stance in defense of Americans and the Constitution.
