Tennessee Facebook Rant Raises Same Old Questions

 

A Facebook rant by a Murfreesboro, Tennessee firefighter about a “homeless” woman has again raised the difficult question about First Amendment boundaries.

“So the sign says homeless, but she lives in the hotel behind her.  She checks in at 300 plus pounds (I know, because we transported it).  She gets food stamps and healthcare. Wondering what your [TennCare] and Medicare/Medicaid is being used for!  Tired of supporting it and others like it!  Disgusting!”
