On Sunday, Picone held a press conference outside the Houston Library on Smith Street with civil rights lawyer Randall Kallinen and trial lawyer Paul Kubosh.
Attorneys said this ordinance goes against the right of free speech. Picone called the court hearing a victory and said it will not stop him from feeding the homeless.
“We’ve got families that come out here with children to come out and eat. We serve them as well,” Shere Dore said. “It was a very pretentious victory. I was wanting to preclude that by saying that when there is unity there is always victory,” he said.“This law that the city has passed is absurd. It criminalizes the Samaritan for giving, for giving,” Kubosh said.“Only the people who are conducting or sponsoring this event are supposed to be given tickets, but people are just helping out are given tickets, so they don’t care if they fit into the law or not,” he said.
