    This incredible story illustrates that compassion is not only undervalued in our modern society but can be frowned up and treated like a crime.

    In April, Montanez was arrested for violating the city ordinance that bans mass feeding in one area. His attorney will argue that the law is a violation of civil rights and say Montanez did nothing wrong, because every feeding that he participated in was done at a public park.
    "The law itself should be illegal. Feeding people should not be criminalized. ...," Montanez said.
