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.

crto_zoneid = window.innerWidth>=990?206278:206279;

“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.

The cops have been busting bake sales too.

I guess pulling guns on 14 year old girls in bathing suits is not enough to keep them busy. :)

In all honesty, it's not the fault of the police, it's the fault of politicians.

Whatever happened to the police who killed Eric Garner for selling un-taxed cigarettes?

The media dropped reporting on this because Bill de Blasio wanted 5 or 6 cops to harass this guy for not paying taxes.

What a sad country we live in today.

Seems like we read news stories at least once a year about some cops somewhere shutting down some little girl's lemonade stand.

You would think by now they would have wised up to the PR nightmare they keep creating every time they do this,and quit shooting themselves in the foot.

Unless of course someone filed a formal complaint which forced their hands,but in that case the person making the complaint should have their identity made public.

Not really. What usually happens is some asshat that runs a nearby business sellign soft drinks,tea,and maybe even lemonade will rat the kids out by filing a formal complaint to the city about how THEY had to buy a business permit so the kids should get one,too. Which means they would have to provide public rest rooms,health inspectors,get a tax stamp,etc,etc,etc.

Once a formal complain is filed,the police have no choice but to shut they down.

She's right. The law clearly says that if the operators of the stand are cute 7 and 8 year old girls, raising money for a good cause, they don't require a permit.

Oh, wait. No it doesn't.

You are missing the point -- if the politicians didn't pass laws that require kids selling lemonade and moms baking cookies to have a license and comply with numerous city regulations, there wouldn't be any basis for the "asshats" to complain.

The “law and order” crowd is destroying our freedom!

Violations of natural law are clear on their face. It is wrong to rob a man. It is wrong to slander a man. It is wrong to beat a man without just cause. It is wrong to fail to perform a deal under the terms agreed to. Do you see? It matters not what language you speak. It matters not what time or place you live in. The rules of conduct between people don’t change. Justice is justice.

Positive laws allow those with the power of government to OVERIDE natural law through force and coercion. The purpose of positive law is to apply a different standard to some protected person, group or activity. That is the ENTIRE PURPOSE of positive laws.

Think about it like this. Positive law was used to “legalize” slavery. Positive laws declare that the King or the “government” can own all the land and that they have the authority to “give” some huge tract of land to some favored person or to some railroad company. That is what positive law is and does.

More Good news for the positive law guys.  Remember, it’s the law, and we all have to follow the law. 

Remember the “fugitive slave act”? You know the “law” that required people to allow the state to return another person to some guy in another state if the slave managed to escape? Yes that law. THAT is what positive law looks like when it is boiled down to its basest form. Arbitrary and immoral.

Are you obligated to follow that kind of law? Well you are, inside the insane system of positive law. Is it moral to follow that law? Of course not. That is turning natural law on its head. Does following positive law support freedom? No, it supports coercion, the opposite of freedom.

And the SAME analysis applies to virtually ALL positive law. There are countless examples I could give you of made up “positive” non-laws and non-crimes that are passed and enforced. Vices, like smoking pot or paying for sex are not crimes because there is NO VICTIM complaining. They are no more crimes than watching too much t.v. or overeating is a “crime”.

Judging by the myriad of pro-police state and "the law is the law" posts you have made here and elsewhere, if you were ordered to do such a thing, I doubt very seriously that you would say no.

I know for sure you'd rat out your neighbor if it got you in good with the fuzz.

You would have ratted out anyone helping slaves escape "back in the day" as well.

"Then the police would not have to enforce the stupid laws."

What's ironic is that the girls' mother probably supported that law when it was written.

The permit was $150. They were trying to raise $100. Staying open a few more days would have raised enough money to pay for the permit -- with the added benefit of introducing the girls to the effects of oppressive government regulations.

Or, if mom and dad are liberals, they could have sneaked over to the licensing bureau and purchased a permit for them. The little darlings.

Anyways. Now we'll see if mom will follow the strength of her convictions and petition the city to change their vendor licensing laws. I doubt she will. All she really wanted was an exemption for her daughters.

Typical. Support a law to regulate some behavior, then whine and cry when it applies to you.

I don't see where and how a police officer gets to pick and choose which laws to enforce and which not to.

Can you cite me a reference source that permits an officer to do that? ---- Gatlin

Every law,enforcement officer gives his oath to support and defend our constitution (and laws made in 'pursuance thereof').

Obviously, if a law is constitutionally questionable, the officer must use his discretion to choose whether he will enforce it.

"I was just following orders", is NOT a valid excuse, and never has been.

Using that analogy, than can you say that sexually abusing small children are not crimes because they cannot, or do not, complain….and that is no more a crime that watching to much TV or overeating a crime?

What the $#@! is wrong with you pervert?

How can anyone equate smoking pot to sexually abusing children?

This story is a classic example of throwing common sense out the window, and throttle down on "Barneyism".

For crying out loud, this was two little girls with a simple lemonade stand. That was quite common when I was a kid. The cops involved showed virtually NO COMMON SENSE. Yes, for those that want to pick fly specs out of the pepper, it may be a TECHNICAL violation, but the local PD gave it self two Big Black Eyes. Also, this was a waste of LE assets, that would have been better spent going after real bad guys, not a couple of 8 year old girls. Strictly from a PR stand point, this was DUMB, DUMB, and DUMBER.

The next time the PD wants funds for a new cruiser, radios, etc, I can hear a council man asking " whats up chief, do you have an increase in kids lemonade stands. I would bet that citizens all over town are riding them like the citizens of Mayberry would heckle Barney when he did something dumb. If not, they should.

This is a story of a lack of common sense, a quality very lacking in government these days.

You mean enforcing the law as written? Yeah. What were they thinking?

Perhaps you're saying the law should have been written to exclude a certain class of people? Hmmmm. Would that be constitutional? Would that be fair?

It's very possible that some commercial vendor called the police chief and complained -- perhaps a commercial vendor who was ticketed for not having a license. Now what? Should the police chief ignore the call, subjecting the city to a discrimination lawsuit? Should the police chief, on his own, make an exception in this case?

Tell me. What would you do?

OK Barney.

I would have been a man with a brain, told someone to grow up. It was just a couple of little girls, and I would have concentrated my time & attention by looking for real bad guys that presented potential harm to the citizens. Bad guys such as thugs, robbers, murderers, rapists, drug dealers, thieves, etc, etc, etc. I would have protected the citizens, and the law. I would not have given my department, and LEO's in general a black eye, and made the Department the laughing stock of the state, and the entire LEO community of the courtry. Hell, I would have visited their stand and bought a glass, then told them to have a nice day, and continued patrol looking for real crime!

I guess in this town, it was easier for this bunch of Barneys to go after two 8 year old little girls, oooh scarey oooh !, than to go after real bad guys.

If that is all they have to do, that city / town / village does not need a PD. A total waste of funds!

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.

In Tyler Texas of all places. One of the most conservative Christian Texan places.

Local conservative radio here in Texas mentioned the local gov waived the traveling merchant vendor fee but could not waive the health inspection requirement. Which means local folks and their elected councilmen probably did not expect anyone to push/enforce requiring a kid's lemonade stand to have a health permit.

Plain stupid. We used to run these stands as kids to make enough money to do fun things in the summer.

Here's where a little community common sense comes in. If LE felt they had to 'enforce' 7 year old girls to comply with the letter of the law, then all they had to do was tell the parents to dump out the lemonade at the end of the day. Problem solved.

This law is for those truck vendors who keep their stuff in the truck for days without recycling the beverages and food.

I am sure the good citizens of Tyler Texas will fix this. One of the best places to visit during Texas "spring" to view the roses and wild flowers.

Not really. What usually happens is some asshat that runs a nearby business sellign soft drinks,tea,and maybe even lemonade will rat the kids out by filing a formal complaint to the city about how THEY had to buy a business permit so the kids should get one,too. Which means they would have to provide public rest rooms,health inspectors,get a tax stamp,etc,etc,etc.

Good points and true.

When I was at the command and staff college in KS something similar and not as innocent as a lemonade stand faced the same local merchant onslaught.

5 married Majors decided they did not want to uproot their family and PCS them for a one year assignment. So they all rented and roomed at a farm house near post. They turned the barn into a man cave with electronics, TVs with ball games on all the time. They built a bar and stocked out of their pocket. Soon it became a hang out for their friends and they hosted BBQs and parties there.

They served drinks at these gatherings and had a 'tip jar' for those that wanted to contribute. Then folks they did not know started showing up and word got back to town that there was a 'speak easy' operating at the farm. The local saloon tipped off the DA and police and added some lies like they were hosting sex parties with prostitutes and drugs. So they raided the place and arrested some of the renters. Turns out three of the 5 were high powered up and coming Army JAG lawyers. They quickly got a local bubba lawyer and paid a fine and got a slap on the wrist. The amazing part of this is that although the deputy post commander found out, the post commander (three star) never found out...Until graduation day...that was a most uncomfortable day for them. But given they paid their dues to society already and the 'arrest' was more of a bring you in for questioning, there was not much he could do.

The local DA tried to get these guys on a 1919 temperance law. Amazing.

Why LE?

I think the city police officers work for the Mayor and Town Council. That be the case, then why lay this “exception to enforce decision” on the backs of LE? Lay it where it belongs….lay it in the laps of the Mayor and Council Members.

Furthermore, if anyone is going to get pissed off at someone for stopping kids from operating lemonade stands, then get pissed off at the Mayor and Council Members. They are the head honchos, the big dogs in charge, the bosses…. and the responsible individuals who control the actions by the city police officers.

Somewhat. However, cops can choose to not go to a lemonade stand call as it is not a priority manner. Just like the cops ignore all the calls on the 4th of July where I live of people complaining of fireworks. They nicely tell the residents it's the 4th of July but don't worry we will send a car to check it out. They drive by the neighborhoods but don't stop.

That seems to be a sane approach to kids who are trying to make a little money.

It seems to me to be the Pharisee effect. The Pharisees complained Jesus Christ healed on the Sabbath. They took the 'no work' to an extreme meaning not even doing good. Christ rebuked them for it.

Watch the video. The cop has his gun out and his knee in the back of a 14 year girl in a bathing suit.

Watched. Do you know the definition of "pulling a gun"?? In any context of honest testimony, your hyperbolic hysteria is absolute baloney.

The cop did NOT "pull" a gun "14 year old girls in a bathing suits" -- much less even a SINGLE "girl in a bathing suit." The cop unholstered his gun ONLY when two black teens to the right edge of his periphery vision made moves and a gesture that clearly threatened his personal space.

The 14 year old girl in the bathing suit was just standing in a group of friends when the cop grabbed her and threw her to the ground.

Watch the video -- before this, the girl kept moving away from the rest of the action.

She wasn't threatening anyone.

So, what did she do wrong?

Oh, maybe the cop didn't like what she had to say. Tough shit.. We have something called the First Amendment that let's her say whatever she wants.

The cop threw her to the ground. As as result of the cop's action, two of her friends ran passed the cop and one reached out to touch him.

The cop pulled his gun and luckily two of his buddies stepped in to stop him or it would have been a bloody mess.

Then the cop shoved his knee in the little girl's back. After he had her subdued he put the gun away. So yes, he had a gun pulled on a 14 year old girl in a bathing suit laying on the ground with his knee in her back.

What did this girl do to deserve this???

Even the Police Chief says that the cop was out of control.

How anyone can excuse his behavior is beyond me.

cops can choose to not go to a lemonade stand call as it is not a priority manner.

Not if the mayor or the Police Chief tells them to do it.

Right NOW, the cops in Baltimore have chosen not to make much of an effort, so crime is up and arrests are down.

What they decided to do was follow the orders of their police chief who was following the orders of the mayor because they knew if they didn't they would be fired.

Arguing the merits and morality of following the orders to keep a job is a separate argument.

I love a story with a happy ending.

The 'cherry on top' to the story was hilarious and legendary. If you believe the sources (I knew a Field Artillery officer who lived with the lawyers) the "Farm House 5" (we tongue and cheek called them) in addition to the fine were ordered by the local magistrate to 'get out of his county' by sun down on graduation day:)

The farm they rented used to have Nike Nuclear silos from the old, old Cold War days. So they called the barn bar the "Nike Nuclear Lounge."

Nice find.

An intelligent, logical, common sense black woman bucks the simple "cop wuz wrong!" rush-to-judgment narrative I've seen from Al Sharpton to Judge Napolitano to the pandering Mark Fuerman. She also dismisses the notion that ALL black people are jumping on this virulent anti-LE, leap-to-one-conclusion movement.

Someone remind me -- just when did it become acceptable (and viral) for teens (or anyone for that matter) to ignore cops' commands at the scene, bait cops, and disrespect their space with impunity? Oh, that's right -- when the Agitator-in-Chief began setting the example back in 2009.

Even the Police Chief says that the cop was out of control.

Aside from the fact that your narrative is complete bullcrap, who cares what this PC chicken*** Police Chief's opinion is??

The Police Chief is worried ONLY about NOT having to be a stand up man and leader. HE was out of control and panicked like a coward for tossing his guy under the bus in a matter of hours before any cursory examination of the elements of this over-hyped theater were considered.

The KIDS were out of control; The entire party was out of control; and the media, sh*t--stirrers and idiots who indicted this cop based on a few minutes of video (as the reports from the residents confirm a place in total chaos) are out of control.

The entire video shows that before the cop assaulted her she kept trying to move away from the action.

This 14 year old was doing nothing wrong when the POS cop attacked her.

You're looking at the answer to the question, "Why are cops arresting so many black teens?"

The one black teen claims he was pushed. Whatever. Imagine if he "fell" on the cop. Add another dead black teen to the total.

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.

Could have been a neighbor making the call whose daughters had wanted to do the same thing. When the neighbor checked and found out that a $150 license was required, he had to disappoint his children by telling them no.

Then numbnut's children put one up. When the neighbor asks about it, the dad says "f**k the license and f**k you".

At that point, I'd call the city. So would you.

3.) Open her home to random government "health and safety" inspections.

2.) Take a government food safety class

3.) Open her home to random government "health and safety" inspections.

After all, our libtard government has indoctrinated people to think we are all EQUAL... and we aren't. We were never equal.

Right, we all get it - cops are "more equal" than serfs.

"Nice rifle... heavy trigger pull."

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."

Maybe Beretta changed it?

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.

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.

You're looking at the answer to the question, "Why are cops arresting so many black teens?"

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.

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.

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.

I disagree.

Welfare is derived from 100% pure taxes. My pension is derived from a private mutual fund. So, it's very difficult to compare the two as the same ideology, and here is why. The cookie would have to be the pension or the EBT card.. But they are made from different dough. lol

Look, either the child or the company can poison its customers... looking at it equally. I'll agree Keebler can poison a whole shitload more... but they have deep pockets for doing so. How much civil award would be given to a victim that bought a tainted cup of lemonade from a family that lives paycheck to paycheck?

I personally don't feel LE should be involved at all. It's yer another reason I retired as soon as I qualified. I was tired of being used by every part of government to solve the problems of their departments.

It's more a matter of definition (by mob) than ideology. If the mob applies enough political pressure, not even your pension is safe. Already a little kid's freedom to sell lemonade on a corner is denied by the state, as is Mom's cake that support her church.

I realize you disagree with the Pension vs. Welfare perspective as *I* do, but my analogy is exactly that SOME people will have their own reality superseded by the more powerful with agendas. *This* reality remains: ONLY the most extremist statists justify Buffy's lemonade stand or Mom's cupcake sale being subject to state labor laws, health dept laws, and OSHA.

Look, either the child or the company can poison its customers... ...How much civil award would be given to a victim that bought a tainted cup of lemonade from a family that lives paycheck to paycheck?

Ok, I get it; You believe Buffy's lemonade and Mom's baked cupcakes for a church or school should be regulated like Keebler or McDonalds. BECAUSE SO MANY people have been "poisoned" by Buffy's lemonade and Mom's cupcakes, right? Ooops. NOT. You might, but I don't quite believe 'Buffy's Lemonade' is paying the mortgage.

I saw the mom and two little girls finally get interviewed on FNC.

The mama said they were selling Country Time lemonade mix and the mama said that the label says it is safe to use for several days without refrigeration. I don't see that on the product info. Country Time is available as a powdered mix or as a liquid concentrate. Pour it in water and stir.

So it wasn't real lemonade at all and had no pulp or sugar or other preparation considerations other than using a clean container to mix it in.

Seems like quite a kerfuffle over lemon-flavored drink mix.

Replace dry cap and tightly close canister to retain freshness. 4 Servings (8 fl oz Each): Use 2 scoops Country Time Drink Mix; 1/3 cup equivalent measurement; add cold water and ice to make 1 quart. 8 Servings (8 fl oz Each): Use 4 scoops Country Time Drink Mix; 2/3 cup equivalent; add cold water and ice to make 2 quarts. 16 Servings (8 fl oz Each): Use 8 scoops Country Time Drink Mix; 1-1/3 cups equivalent measurement; add cold water and ice to make 1 gallon. 32 Servings (8 fl oz Each): Use 16 scoops Country Time Drink Mix; 2-2/3 cups equivalent measurement; add cold water and ice to make 2 gallons.

I notice the official Kraft Country Time website blatantly promotes using their product for lemonade stands.

Maybe they should be sued for encouraging children to engage in illegal business ventures in most areas of the country.

That's how Yukon keeps track of him so they don't get separated when they go out to the store for more sterno and beans.

“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.”

I wasn't aware of the thread you mentioned. It was exceptionally entertaining, too. I can tell you, for a fact, who "Necessary Critique" was on the mentioned LP thread.

Strange as it may seem, I never expected third or higher derivatives from the initiatives performed. But it makes sense as many posters read from one sight to the the other.

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

At least the cops found a worthy adversary. Did they get to shoot any dogs in the process? It would be a fitting end to a productive day.
