What has the world come to if kids can’t find ways to earn money like they have traditionally for centuries? Whether it’s a lemonade stand or mowing lawns, we all have engaged in such practices. However, most recently, a 13-year old girl running a lemonade stand was told by a disgruntled citizen that she couldn’t sell lemonade because she didn’t have a business license. Moreover, the angry man told her that he was going to call the police and pretended to jump on the phone. The 13-year-old said that it scared her that the man threatened to call the police and said that she thinks that the man was just trying to “intimidate” her. “Whoever the man is who threatened to call the police on my daughter for her lemonade stand, you are seriously pathetic." "There is a right way to do things and a wrong way to do things. This is the story of a little girl from Discover Bay who set up a lemonade stand on public property. She just wanted to sell some lemonade and cookies. Her parents told her she could be there for 1 hour. But as she was setting up she was approached by a man who was all bent out of shape by what she was doing. (Don’t worry there is a happy ending) Richard LaRouche is the little girl’s father. "The man just pulled up next to her and asked for her business license and then told her ‘I’m calling the police’ and then got on the phone and began speaking as if he was talking to police." "She was so scared that she came home crying and sobbing and said she didn’t want to go to jail." But here’s the happy ending. When she came home crying I told her that some people are just negative and are looking to bring others down." "I told her how much our community supported her when I posted what happened." "She was so surprised and encouraged." "We set up a second lemonade stand on our property (on Friday) and she was busy the whole three hours." "Ran out of cookies and had just enough lemonade for the last two police officers." ---Richard LaRouche I’d love to hear from the person who threatened to call the police. I keep wondering why he would do that. Regardless I’m glad that Richard’s daughter got to see how the community came together and rallied around her.
I understand that you were upholding the "law" but really dude?"
He told me:
Richard says:
Why it was so important to him.
And whether he regrets doing it now.
I hope she learned that people care.

The HOA said she didn't need a license. The guy was out of line.
Guess you didn't know that when you made the threat. LOL Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
