Georgia Police Close Girls' Lemonade Stand
« on: July 16, 2011, 12:13:50 AM »
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/07/15/georgia-police-close-girls-lemonade-stand

Three girls setup a lemonade stand to raise money to go to a water park.

Police chief and another officer cruise by and notice the lemonade stand and shut it down for not having business license, peddler's permit and food permit to operate.  The police chief also stated that they (the police) didn't know how the lemonade was made, who made it or what was in it.

Wow, I am so glad that the police shut down those scofflaws and kept the public safe.  :facepalm:   :facepalm:  [ar15]

I have been seeing more and more cases like this.  It seems that they do it so they can pad the stats that they are doing something about crime.

Anybody point out to them that they don't know what's in their coffee, either?

When one of these girls gets a summer job at the local cafe someday, they won't want to know what's in their coffee.

The girls needed to pay their tax to city hall and the police have turned into revenue collectors.  If they cannot write a ticket for it, they won't do it.

That's just down the road from me. I suspect that folks in the community are going to make Morningstar regret that decision. Those officers might want to eat all their meals at home for a while.

Even Better Safety Tip !!!




Plus I think that C&SD would agree that in the interest of Officer Safety, Chief Morningstar and the other officer should have tased the girls first to ensure their compliance with the town's permitting process. :police: :police: :police:

Yes, the cat is shot for it's own good.  It failed to comply with the officer's orders.

The girls are now doing chores and yard work to make money.

Wait; how is that not child labor? Are they getting paid minimum wage for that yard work?

They really don't want to know how the lemonade is made. Sweet lemonade. Mmmm. Sweet, sweet lemonade...

so now local cops can enforce federal laws WRT to food?
Does that mean AZ cops can enforce fed rules WRT immigration?

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Having been involved in local politics, you have no idea how hard I'm laughing.

In fairness, yea, it is possible.

If their turnout is anything like ours, a citywide race could be taken entirely on nursing home residents, or a single neighborhood if you could actually get full turnout on either.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.
