Title: Cops Raid Little Girls’ “Illegal” Lemonade Stand, Shut it Down for Operating Without a Permit

lemonade

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.

Come on man, of course they wanted to do something with their dad which they like to do too:)

Hey I got a Yellow Lab for my birthday almost 10 years ago by my then very young sons....who really wanted a dog:) I was still in mourning over my faithful Beagle and wanted to wait another year or so. So I got this Yellow Lab for my birthday:) Best birthday gift ever. Sometimes our kids know we men, their dads, are still just kids at heart.

I'm sure if the folks of Flint knew a lot more, they may have bragged they had such training going on to support our efforts overseas.

I keep waiting for the Breaking News gong to sound on Fox News Channel, warning the Great Unwashed about the Tyler Texas Lemonade Gestapo.

FNC just loves these lemonade-lasses-tased-by-jackboots-run-amok stories.

Hate to say it but given the time of year with coaching baseball and the hours at work recently I have not been following much of FNC or any news source other than here and on the net. Frankly it is quite liberating not hearing O'Reilly and Hannity bloviating every night:)

Megan Kelly is becoming the Eva Braun for the hyper sexualized, pro gay, penthouse with Long Island McMansion East Coast wealthy who call themselves conservatives. You don't realize how shallow that station is until you take a break from it. Don't get me wrong, MSNBC and all the rest are horrible and Fox is the best of them all...but that is not saying much.

I do like Greta's show. She still asks pols some uncomfortable questions. But they have her on when most folks are eating dinner or just ate dinner and are doing something else. Putting Megan Kelly in that evening line up really has turned out to be a drag. Most men watch that airhead's show to see how much cleavage she will reveal.

Time well spent :-)

Speaking of kids' baseball and this issue, do you remember as a LL'er going out in uniform with a container, and knocking on doors and apts for "contributions to help support" you local league?

Needless to say (for several reasons) that'd be impossible these days. The least of which would be grumpy old, officious fascists who'd call the police, complaining that "I saw no ID or license for charities was displayed by the brats who barged into my gated communitah, then knocked at my door looking for fifty cents."

We did not go door to door for the league. Parents paid for the league and sometimes that meant chores and using your own allowance---You only got an allowance back then by DOING things:)

Yeah, I guess I am a bit older than you -- things changed quickly. This was a commonly accepted protocol, and no one thought much about it. Just like being a newspaper boy and collecting from your customers door-to-door weekly.
