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.

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
And to think he prides himself on being a gentleman, tsk, tsk, tsk... Wonder how long it will be before one of the other Moderators stops by and tells him he has a potty mouth?? “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.”
Ahhh some peace and quiet for a change!! “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.”
Sure. "Hey, give me that $2,000 rifle so I can f**k it up for ya." First I have to find someone local who even carries it. Then we can put a trigger pull meter on it.
If it's worth 2 grand, it will take the abuse. 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
Defiance. Right on down from the regime. Glorified in rap. Indoctrinated from birth on through public school through college to hate cops and Whitey. Toss in social media and MSM and we'll soon have a generation of blacks who've been taught Whitey AND cops are Satan. It's staggering. At this pace, on this course, things will end very badly for everyone. EXCEPT the Elites. The one black teen claims he was pushed. Whatever. Imagine if he "fell" on the cop. Add another dead black teen to the total. "Pushed"...yeah, right. The two had obviously planned to circle behind the cop; One was moving too fast for the other and "[pushed" him too much, too fast. Yup, this incident was real close to yet more black teen deaths via cop-suicide. But then that IS the statist-leftist-media agenda, isn't it? They want to take down the status quo -- across the board. Not just racially, but we see this same hatred, indoctrination, and disruptive vein in the homofascism movement. But I digress... THE PLAN: Demonize local LE, then replace it with a more gentle understanding FEDGUB PARA-MILITARY LAW ENFORCEMENT. Oh wait; It will be RUTHLESS. What's wrong with these animals, howling and screeching and jumping around the cops who are simply trying to maintain order? Just listen to the video when the cop grabs the girl and put yourself in his shoes. What's wrong" is the lack of parenting, the rejection of any morals and ethics; and a politically leftist media and "communitah leaders" who are goading and sacrificing an entire generation of their young to openly defy authoritah..."fo' da cause." Yep, I did put myself in the cops shoes. Chaos was rampant. The thug-wannabes feigned circling behind him. He was perfectly justified in pulling his piece.
"Officer and gentleman." NOT as advertised :-( Wonder how long it will be before one of the other Moderators stops by and tells him he has a potty mouth?? Maybe they're given him a break....and time to apologize. Everyone makes mistakes. Repeatedly. (oh, wait)
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. Then why shouldn't she? Oh, stop. Lol...Are you sh*ttin' me?? You actually believe this is about "health and safety"?? A school or church Bake Sale is NOT a commercial enterprise. It's a tradition that's gone on forever in thousands of towns this across this (now dead) nation. The REAL reason for this over-officious insanity is CONTROL; The destruction of TRADITION; and CONDITIONING the pods to get used to over-regulation and micro-managing their lives by gubmint fascists. I'm surprised you can't see this -- especially in retirement after removing your mirrored aviators and boots.
He isn't in retirement. He is on welfare. There is big difference.
In the end, the argument for this nanny type enforcement will be equality. If the big companies got too.. why shouldn't she? They both can poison their customers. I never said I agree with the ideology 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
I'm through here....I am going over to YouTube and listen to Mister Rogers theme song.
Stone - As a recommendation, please ensure "gatlin" or "tater" or whatever his monicker seems to be, an infinite number of posts and capabilities on LF everyday. His awkward style that continuously demeans himself is a lot of phun to watch. I ensured your wife is also copied to this recommendation from a wee, wittle poster. - buckeroo
Funny, I was just getting ready to post this when I now see that you have posted a video. I will make this post and then view your video. I sincerely apologize for the choice of words I used in my last post to you. I “reacted” to your comment when I should have carefully and methodically “acted” my normally calm manner. That was the fist time I have ever lost my “cool” while posting on LF. I will make every attempt to never do a “reactive” post again. I will now look at your video.
ROTFL
ROTFL
That was funny....I am still LAUGHING. I have a very funny story told to me years ago by a friend about a happening in Las Vegas between his neighbor and Eddie Murphy. I will post it to you as soon as I can.
I never said I agree with the ideology You most certainly do "agree with their ideology" of nanny-ism. Up-thread re: "The politicians, bureaucrats, and police" hav[ing] all lost their minds": Let's make this simple -- Before I send over of a plate of Veal Parm and linguini to your house, shall we first call OSHA, apply for a permit, and the contact the Health Dept?
A friend of mine told me a story about the time a lady neighbor went to Las Vegas to play the slots. It was during the days when they still used coins in the slots. She had played the slots all evening and had done very well to accumulate a very large bucket filled with coins….many of which were “silver” dollars. She decided to retire from the hotel casino to her room for the night and keep the coins in the bucket with her to resume play the next morning. She went to the elevator and pressed the up button. The elevator arrived, she entered and pressed her floor button. Just as the door was closing, someone yelled “hold the elevator” and stuck a hand in to block the doors closing. The doors again opened and into the elevator walked an entourage of five of six neatly dressed Black guys in suits. The lady became very frightened, so frightened that she dropped the bucket of coins spilling them all over the elevator floor. One of the guys who appeared to be the head of the group, said “let us pick those up for you.” She declined and wanted to pick up all the coins herself. The guy insisted, so many hands were grabbing coins from the floor and placing them back in the bucket. When the elevator arrived at her floor, one guy held the door until they had all coins back in her bucket. She said “thank you” and almost started to run out of the elevator. The apparent leader of the group said “let us walk you to the door, to make sure you are safe.” She said that would not be necessary. The guy insisted and the group walked her to the door, opened it for her and said “Good Night.” About thirty or so minutes later, there was a knock on the door. They lady was still shaken and asked “who’s there”….not knowing what to expect. She determined it was room service and opened the door to receive a few dozen roses being delivered to her room. She looked at the card and read something like: “Thank you for a wonderful evening. I have not had so much enjoyment in a long time.” It was signed, “Eddie Murphy.” I cannot vouch if the story is true of not, I can say that my friend told it to me as being true.
One man's "Retirement" can indeed be construed as another's "Welfare" (which is a word we no longer hear for political reasons.) This is exactly why redefining the language and intent, and demanding an egalitarian one-shoe-fits-all enforcement aren't so much a great idea. CONTEXT and COMMON SENSE matter.
The NYS pension fund is far from the definition of welfare. It's kinda like looking at a turd and a Baby Ruth. Both are brown and lumpy... and Bucky would assume both tastes great. Welfare mutts never pay into the turd they get. I paid into the Baby Ruth I get monthly. 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
ROTFL That's why he had multiple logons to try and maintain a certain persona, guess he thinks other people have a very short memory like he does. He must also forget about the epic meltdown that happened on LP a few years ago, part of it ended up over here with "new logons" of course. He pretended to be moderating between the Gay Canary Posse and everybody else who was tearing them a new azzhole. He was "moderator" and you ended up being mentioned before it was all said and done. :) http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=35507 “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.”
Ahhh some peace and quiet for a change!! Boy that didn't take long back on bozo I go, you sure don't like the truth do you. “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're fine man. What are you to do with an instigator like myself.
Gatlin could use a thicker skin... it's good for him.
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
I know. But it depends on who is doing the defining.... FOR INSTANCE: Believing the SAME laws and regs should be enforced for Jane's bake sale *as* with Keebler, is akin to someone saying, "A state pension is free gubmint money -- just like those who receive free gubmint welfare." You helped me with my car; I sent over Veal Parm. Is that a business transaction? Again -- should the health dept or OSHA get involved? Depends on the degree of officiousness, doesn't it? Be careful what you wish for.
