Tyler, TX — Last week, police in Texas heroically saved the town from likes of two young girls who attempted to open a black market lemonade stand. The girls, one 7-year-old and one 8-year-old, dared to try to raise money to buy a Father’s day present for their dad by setting up a lemonade stand in their neighborhood. Andria and Zoey Green told ABC affiliate KLTV they were trying to raise about $100 for a Father’s Day present. They wanted to take him to Splash Kingdom. Over the weekend, the two young entrepreneurs took to the streets with their delicious batch of homemade lemonade and began to provide willing customers with their product. Only one hour into their business endeavour, these girls had raised 25% of their goal. However, their cash cow would be shut down not long after it started. Overton police chief Clyde Carter showed up along with the city code enforcer and shutdown their criminal operation. The girls had violated Texas House Bill 970, or the Texas Baker’s Bill, which does not allow the sale of food that needs time or temperature control to prevent it from spoiling. Since the lemonade would eventually grow mold after being left out for days, police said they needed an inspection from the health department and a permit to sell it and deemed their operation “illegal.” The cost of the permit is $150 dollars. “It is a lemonade stand, but they also have a permit that they are required to get,” Chief Carter said. “I think that’s ridiculous. I think they’re 7 and 8, and they’re just trying to make money for their own cause,” said Sandi Evans, the girls’ mother. The most absurd aspect of this ordeal is that the police know it’s a ridiculous law. However, they said ridiculous or not, it’s the law and they’ll keep enforcing it. “We have to follow by the state health guidelines,” said Carter. “They have to have a permit if they’re going to do the lemonade stands.” Police officers can certainly use discretion and choose not to “enforce” this law for use in such an asinine application. The fact that these girls had their good intentions ruined by those who claim to protect them speaks to the level of discontent with law enforcement in America today. The heartening side to this story is that these young girls are now learning to bypass this tyrannical system of bureaucratic nonsense. The girls said they will be setting up their lemonade stand again this weekend. Instead of selling it though, they will be giving it away, but they will gladly be accepting donations. Hopefully next week, we aren’t reading the story of these two Texas girls being raided by the IRS for tax evasion on their lemonade donations. But in today’s police state USA, it would be entirely expected. The most absurd aspect of this ordeal is that the police know it’s a ridiculous law. However, they said ridiculous or not, it’s the law and they’ll keep enforcing it. "Just following orders" Hmmm, where have I heard that before? Oh - now I remember.

Actually, that's probably what she said to the cop right before he threw her on the ground for interfering with an officer doing his duty.
Wait, I know. Then you'd go to your zombie apocalypse bunker (stocked with two years of food and water and 50,000 rounds of ammo) to hold off the cops when they came.
The politicians, bureaucrats, and police have all lost their minds. A couple of years ago in I know Ohio, a mom prepared pulled pork in a private home and sold it at the church festival. No one shut her down and sixty-four persons who consumed the food she prepared in the private home suffered with attacks of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (Salmonella Typhimurium). She had not: The people who consumed the tainted food all lost…
I have a few weeks food supply. I don't even have a working gun. I don't believe in zombies but I enjoy the walking dead. No I would just kick their ass. They wouldn't call the cops. Or they woule receive another beat down.
I think we should organize and march on Kansas to force them to change their local laws to ones WE like. Do those people think we live in a federal republic?
Damned I eat at Taco Bell. They have their own kitchen. They have taken govenment safety classes. they are open to random government inspections. Then low and behold a bunch of people got sick at Taco Bell. http://guardianlv.com/2014/08/food-poisoning-history-with-taco-bell/ Taco Bell sucked the governements ass just like you do. Then they still gave people food poisoning.
If she had a separate kitchen. Surely no one would have gotten food poisoning. We should take it a step further for you statists. It may be child abuse to cook for your kid in your own home. You could potentially give them food poisoning. That would be child abuse. Everyone must be certified to the level of a 5 star restaurant. Or else face prison for child abuse.
Ah, "middle of the night" ... eh? Would you also suggest the wearing of a "glory suit" which consists of: a floor- length, solid-white robe (often decorated with a round badge bearing an insignia with across) and a white, sharply pointed hat that includes a full-faced cloth mask with eyeholes? There was once a group in the America who administered the type justice of which you speak. Wait, they are still around….aren’t the?
You should rectify this. Every able bodied adult in this country should have at the very least, a cheap single shot shotgun. You can pick one up for under a hundred bucks at a gun show. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
Ha-hah!! "Everyday cruiser"...*still laughing...and laughing*....so hilarious...Oh, man, I'm cryin'.
Shh. Don't tell Mr. White. I was just joking around. But the neighbors are assholes.
I had the fish.
You assholes should take it one step further to stop portraying yourself as a six- year old spoiled brats.
Ah, "middle of the night" ... eh? Shh. Don't tell Mr. White. I was just joking around. But the neighbors are assholes. I took you as being serious....I withdraw that remark. That could be the case with the neighbors....they could be busybodies.
NO! I do what I want to do. My kids once had a lemonade stand. I was proud of them. Still am. Can you get your head out of everyones asshole? ?
I remember that scene.
That could be the case with the neighbors....they could be busybodies. I should stop that shouldn't I. I can't though. I enjoy it.
That's because you're an asshole - or a six-year-old brat. Take your pick.
Only when you can stop shit from flowing out your mouth. You first... I'm through here....I am going over to YouTube and listen to Mister Rogers theme song.
I'm left-handed and looking at the Beretta ARX-100. A little pricy for a .223, but I like the ambidexterous features (so I can sell it to a right-hander in the future). Heard anything about it?
That's special coming from you. Big difference between Stone stirring the pot and you doing it. Stone owns the site... you just shit on it for free. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
Oink-oink.
Nice rifle... heavy trigger pull. Beretta is famous for ambidextrous features as standard. I'm still a fan of the AR platform. Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
Don't even try to make sense of that circus performance. I know -- what motive?? Who'd had *that* much time on their hands?? I dunno what was more hilarious -- yuklown's initial "outing," or the dumb months-long cover-up by the Skipper, Gilligan, and their "client." Still THE all-time funniest incident I've ever seen in the annals of forum history. It was so comical that "I-Wuz-Hacked!" spanned 4 different forums. (Coincidentally about 6 people were involved in the "hack," subsequent fairy tale and cover-up.)
Lol...
Right, we all get it - cops are "more equal" than serfs. Who would want to WASTE that much time? “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Yeah. I've read 10-12 pounds. And that's a concern. But I read this article and they say different: "Now for the trigger. Oh, the trigger! The ARX-100 has a typical military-style single-stage trigger with a medium weight pull that comes in around five to six pounds. Most of the triggers in this style are gritty and designed for function, not finesse, requiring some break-in. But the ARX-100's trigger was awesome right out of the box." http://www.policemag.com/channel/weapons/articles/2015/01/beretta-arx- 100-rifle.aspx Maybe Beretta changed it?
From YOU?? Lol, the irony, Miss Crabtree. You're a 65 and post like a special needs 5 year old. *still laughing*
Have a cop cruise by buy a lemonade, tip the girls then get back in the car and drive away. Cops have better things to do than answer nuisance calls from Leftards. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
People posting all along from the attic of sanitariums? Yes...THAT might explain it.
Do you have a license or permit from the FCC to make such a claim?? lol...
The funniest part is is that someone actually likes him, shows a lot about their lack of good judgement. Oh wait some of them still post here... Shhhhhhh.... “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
How would the cops even know if she had this permit she didn't really need. Did they get a search warrant to search her. Because under the fourth amendment you are supposed to be secure in your papers person and effects. They can't even make you sign up for a permit. That would be a violation of your first amentment and fourth amendment rights. They would need a search warrant first. To see if you have your permits that you don't really need.
And I thought Gravenhurst was abandoned.. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
You first... Eww. Gonna have to throw the yellow flag on this one. 15 yards unsportsmanlike penalty.
$5 says the little kid answered his question truthfully and that is what got her in trouble, Mom and Dad need to teach her the 5th. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Pretty sure the license needs to be displayed.
Heh-heh-heeeeh...Aaaah -- I *knew* it!! And if we look closely, we might be able to see some rusty discarded sterno cans on the table. And upside down laptop on the floor.
Go to a rental gun range, rent one and abuse it for a half hour. You'll find out quick if it's the right rifle for you.
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy

A couple of years ago in I think Kansas, a mom was trying to bake cookies for a school bake sale. The cops shut her down and told her that if she wanted to bake cookies for sale she would have to:
1.) Build a separate kitchen in her home
2.) Take a government food safety class
3.) Open her home to random government "health and safety" inspections.1.) Built a separate kitchen in her home.

After all, our libtard government has indoctrinated people to think we are all EQUAL... and we aren't. We were never equal.
“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
