What's the deal with lemonade stands? That might as well of been what Jerry Seinfeld's angry East Hamptons neighbor asked police on Aug. 18 when they called to complain about the illegally parked cars surrounding the comedian's homemade beverage outpost. The 61-year-old Seinfeld, along with his wife and three sons, saw their lemonade stand shut down by police officers after the complaint was called in, according to East Hamptons news site 27east. The town does not allow any form of peddling on its property. The famous family hosted the lemonade stand to raise money for Baby Buggy, a national non-profit company started by Seinfeld's wife Jessica in 2001 that delivers items to families in need. The TV star seemed to be in good spirits after the incident, as he posed for a photo with his children outside the defunct operation, each of them holding their hands on their heads. A police officer can be seen standing outside of his car in the picture, which Jessica Seinfeld shared on Instagram. "Lemonade dreams crushed by local neighbor but not before raising lots of money for @loverecycled," she captioned the photo. "Thanks to all of our customers and big tippers!" she added. Jerry Seinfeld has dealt with meddling neighbors before, at least on television. His comical run-ins with hall mate Newman were well-documented throughout the bulk of the "Seinfeld" series.

Seinfeld has been ranting lately about political correctness on campus. What he has yet to realize is that the problem is progressive liberalism . The nonsense of over-regulation,big government nannystate ,taken to the absurd ,is another indication of progressive liberalism. Until recently he's lived in a cocoon where these issues did not directly affect him . Now he's getting some eye opening examples affecting his life directly .Maybe one day he'll connect the dots . Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Surely those rules don't apply to famous personalities ... with cute little kids ... for a good charitable cause. Come on. Those rules are for other people, not Jerry's kids.
So, do you think he will now petition the town council to allow these lemonade stands up and down the streets? BWAHAHAHAHA! Jerry Seinfeld is the true progressive liberal. Rules are for other people, not him. Or so he thought.
John Stossel did a segment on opening a lemonade stand as an example of the nanny state run amuck . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L478SB2uoOM Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
To me, it was an excellent example of people breaking the law and using their ignorance as an excuse. The last time I saw that many people so boastful of their willful stupidity was video from Ferguson. Here's the key question: How many of them, once they knew the law, petitioned to city to change the law? I'll guess the answer: Zero. So just how important is this issue?
Unfortunately it isn't just the liberals who embrace the nanny state - we have at least one self-proclaimed conservative here who worships the totalitarian power of government to control every aspect of our lives. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Hang him! Tar and feather him and ride him out of town on a rail! I, on the other hand, support the power of the people, acting through their elected representatives, to decide how they will live together. Aren't YOU the one who wants to impose YOUR will, YOUR ideals, YOUR (im)morality, on others? Talk about totalitarian rule!
I'll guess the answer: Zero. So just how important is this issue? Easier to break the law and rely on the neighbors not to be pricks and report it. And if a neighbor does report it, you find out who that is, and then...well...he had best be perfect. Even in his responses to provocation. Because, you see, there are laws about how far you can go when you are provoked and harassed. When somebody comes after you to make your life miserable expressly to do that, because he hates you and wants you to suffer: there are laws as to what you can and can't do in response to that. And if you lose control of yourself in anger and go over the line, it doesn't matter that you were angry and "justified". If the law says you went over the line, you can be destroyed. Isn't using the law to destroy people fun?
It's possible the neighbor confronted Seinfeld directly and Seinfeld told him to go f**k himself. Then the neighbor called the city.
Entirely possible. And now with any luck there'll be a lovely upper-class feud that goes on for years and blights the spirits of everybody involved, so that when they roll up to their little paradise, there's this black fly in their chardonnay.
Thanks to Seinfeld.
Takes two to tango. The neighbor should have ignored the lemonade stand.
Screw that. Why should he? I've had it with people who intentionally violate the rules then expect the rest of us to accommodate them. And if we don't, WE'RE the bad guys. No mas, amigo.
Because the price of being a busybody is now he will have a permanent diminution enjoyment of his life on that property, because of the endless war with the neighbors, and the taking sides of other neighbors. He should have tolerated a temporary lemonade stand and ignored it, and it would have gone away and he would have forgotten about it in a week. Now he will be dogged for year
Man, you have such thin skin.
No. He could have. He chose not to, and he was in the right. Seinfeld was the jerk who thought HE should be allowed to violate the rules because, hey, he's Jerry Seinfeld. "Now he will be dogged for year" Ah. He needs to be punished for "meddling", huh? HE'S the bad guy, huh? I bet you let people walk all over you, don't you. You wimp.
For people who choose to violate the rules rather than getting off their apathetic asses and repealing them? Yep. For people who think the rules are for others, not them? Yep. For people who think they deserve a break because of who they are or the reason they did it? Yep. For assholes who blame US because THEY violated the rules? Yep.
Are you smokin' crack again? The place is a fuckin' POLICE STATE.
Because the police enforce laws you don't like doesn't make the country a police state.
The place is under "lock-down" since WW2. Every since WW2, each and every president has increased the POLICE STATE mandate for emergency war powers. Ever get a clue in life besides your everyday Mr.Rogers bumkin' comments believing in elections?
For a Kookifornian that doesn't see any hope in sight, you sure spend a lot of time, wasting time. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Amazing! The local blood sucker of American taxes used for his personal retirement just happens to show up to reflect: duty, honor and POLICE STATE ..... Über Alles and don't forget a doughtnut!
He lives in a representative republic yet he cries about "the government" and how there's nothing he can do about it. ------------------------------------- So there's this huge flood one day, and an entire town looks like it's going to be swallowed up by the waters. And the Police and Rescue Agencies are running all over the place trying to get people to safety. So they send the rescue boat over to this house where a guy's sitting on the roof with the water lapping around his ankles and they say "Come on, quickly, there isn't much time" To which he says "Nah, it's ok, God will Provide" So about an hour later they're zooming past in the boat again and they notice the guy's still there, only the water's up to his waist, almost at the top of the roof.. "Quick" they say, get in the boat, it's going to get worst before it gets better. "Nah, don't worry - God will Provide" An hour after that a rescue helicopter flies over the area and notices the guy, who must be standing on the peak of the roof now, with only his head and shoulders out of the water. "GRAB THE ROPE!" they cry "IT'S YOUR ONLY HOPE!" "Don't worry" he replies calmly "God will provide." So he gets drowned of course. And he goes to heaven, and is a little ticked off with God for drowning him like that, and expresses his concern saying "I had FAITH, I BELIEVED in you - and still you didn't help me" "HELP YOU?!" God replies "What MORE did you want - I sent you two boats and a helicopter!" Buckerro is the guy on the roof. Helpless. Hopeless. Waiting for someone to make it better.
Before playing out ridiculous metaphors concerning God, Heaven and Government, you should take a peek @the clusterfuck the US government created based on the Katrina fiasco. Man, you live in a cave somewhere... with luck, it isn't with ISIS.
You're calling the United States of America a police state because of the government's response to a natural disaster?
ROTFL! Brown, the FEMA head, appointed by GWBush fuckedd_upped the entire Katrina fiasco. Good ol' boy GWBush believed in Brown ( a liar, a thief and a major contributor to GWBush) so much, that while emergency warnings were occuring about Katrina, GW Bush (the well known mentally retarded idiot president that insigated the Iraqi War FOR NOTHING) .. the idiot played golf in Palm Springs. Nope, no idiot here. But the aftermath of Bush's legacy which is, Katrina shows incompetence about the entire process. I used the term POLICE_STATE WAYY before your fuckedd_uppedd metaphor which is a HOOT! You are an absolute idiot.
A comment from Deckard (#6): -- Elicited this response from the self-proclaimed majority rule advocate, misterwhite: --- No, --- YOU the one who wants to impose YOUR will, YOUR ideals, YOUR morality, on others, --- using majority rule, -- despite constitutional restraints against such tactics... Talk about totalitarian rule!
Yep. And he was fired, as was Superintendent Compass of the New Orleans Police Department. And other officials f**ked up, including New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco. That doesn't mean America is a police state.
My metaphor was an example of your proclaimed helplessness. "We're living in a police state and there's nothing I can do! Oh woe is me!"
Mere refletions of your own mental midget imaging. I don't wait for government on anything.
