I’m pretty disappointed. This false story has been up for 21 hours with unarguably incorrect statements and hasn’t been corrected. As documented earlier in the comments, the ordinance does not generally “ban[] sheltering from weather with blankets or newspapers” nor does it “make[]criminals out of anyone who holds a newspaper over her head in the rain.”
One of the things I’ve always liked about BB is it’s media criticism and its advocacy for transparency, so I thought an update would be forthcoming with corrections.
