"Councilwoman Addie Wiseman said it makes no sense to say it's legal to lie on the sidewalk in front of one house but not another. "That to me is not equal protection," she said."
Equal protection means treating PEOPLE differently for the same thing --- i.e., blacks could sit on a given sidewalk, but white could not.
But Houston is pretty much the cesspool of Texas.
Sorry, that honor goes to Austin.
