Homeless people arrested for selling newspapers. What gives?

In a small town south of Nashville is Franklin, Tn. Seven homeless people were arrested for selling newspapers, that helped to pay for their room and board. Franklin is a town with many people that make six-figure salaries each year. Nashville has never had a problem with the homeless selling these newspapers. So, what’s the problem with the people in Franklin? The city government there, is being sued for freedom of speech, in these arrests. I remember when newspaper boys sold newspapers on the street corners for many years. No one complained then. Question: will the homeless people win this case, based strictly on a freedom of speech violation or does the problem come from the rich in Franklin, from not wanting the homeless on the sidewalks of their city? Opinions?
