The Right Scoop
May I please add that Kelly Morningstar and the rest of the crew there seem to be a waste of space. >:P
I don't think I can take many more reports like this without becoming anti-Goobernutz.
Then your sister, being in Law Enforcement, should have rebutted them with the fact the the US Supreme court has Ruled that Government has no duty nor it is charged with Protection of the citizen.
This so-called police chief surely had the leeway to simply keep on driving by and pretend she never saw the lemonade stand. I find it amusing that this little stand being run by kids was given the same police enforcement that would have occurred had Chief Moron been driving by and witnessed an assault in progress. "It is the law". Yes, we know it's the law, Chief. But, sometimes it's okay to just let kids be kids and keep on driving by and keep your fool mouth shut. Good grief.
did any one just see the post that was deleted that said
"so you ok with calling someone fag and had a link to a right scoop story i went to the link lol i'll post it in a min...
Just because they are “more obvious about it” makes it even more dangerous, they have worked behind the scenes for over a hundred years to destroy the Constitution and our freedoms and now feel embolden to come right out in the open…what does that say about our future…its not very bright if you ask me and unless we do something soon you can kiss your liberties good bye
this is what a society run by the left looks like so unless your willing to destroy the left in every way possible and totally revamp the education system we will continue to have "ALL" of our freedoms taken from us until we wont be able to even come out of our houses with out governments permission
Can anyone, anywhere give me a coherent rational (other than ripping off the citizens) for any license? Securities licenses don't keep people from ripping off investors (see the democrat Bernie Madoff). Physician licenses don't keep doctors from murdering people (see all abortionists). And business license don't keep businesses from... I'm not sure what the point of a business license is. Can anyone help me?
Well, I guess there is the pressure to limit freedom and liberty from the asses in America. (See democrat)
How is it that the cops or the city do not realize how silly they are being. Kids have been setting up lemonade stands for years and in the past would have been admired for their initiative.
People miss the overall meaning behind this. If it takes a minimum of 3 permits from probably at least 2 government agency's for a teenager to set up a simple lemonade stand in her parents front yard, you can imagine what a person that wants to set up a REAL business that employs people must go through, this is why we have terrible job numbers
Excellent point Ancient, and one my husband has seen many times as he's looked for work these past 2 years!
There've been a number of cases like this. Usually police don't go after the kid's lemonade stands unless someone complains or, like in this case, they see it for themselves. Unfortunately that is the law, and it has to be applied as it is written, even to little kids and lemonade stands.
In several instances where this has happened and the cases go public (or viral now, with the Internet), the city has said to the parents of the minors involved to just show up at the city office and they give the needed permits for either a steep discount or for free. In one case I've read of, the city gave the parents of two girls a free permit for the entire summer.
In this case, someone else took care of it.
But you'd think that with how much this has happened that two things would have occurred by now:
1. Parents would know that before their children open a lemonade stand that they'd talk to the city to find out what might be needed, and
2. Cities would adjust their laws to ensure that these lemonade stands can be operated with little or no up-front government cost or interference to the operators or their parents
Most parents don't think about such things as venders permits, health and safety inspections etc. when their kids want to sell lemonade, as most of us who were kids once did the same danged thing without government coming down on us! As my elders above stated, things sure have changed since we were kids. These are stupid laws made by government schooled, anti capitalist, power hungry jack a$$es, please excuse my French, but this kind of stuff really gets my hair in knott!
1> Screw the government, if I had children that wanted to do that I would help them set up the stand knowing full well it was in violation of a city ordinance that I do not agree with and violates my personal property rights. Civil Disobedience is the heart of this nation. The only way in todays world to get things changed is to get enough of the pubic outraged at government over reach THEN you can effect change, just going to council meetings DOES NOTHING since 90% of the population does not pay any attention to this crap until it is in the local news.
2> Cities are many times WORSE then the feds on personal freedoms. That is why I always maintain that the PERFECT level to have the most power is at the state level, it is big enough to not allow too much of a mini-Hitler totalitarianism complex that you get at the local level, but not so big that I have no options of escape if the state gets crazy. City and County Councils have a much higher risk of Corruption, Favoritism, and outright control freaks getting elected AND being able to influence things than in a statewide office. To your point, this is a "we are the law you will obey citizen" complex that is rampant in local government and law enforcement, how dare you lowly citizen question their authoritay
Seems like Bureaucrats’ and public officials from the federal government, EPA, to local Police in GA and council members in Arkansas are letting power go to their heads. Makes you wonder which local business complained about competition.
I think it is more important to stop this insane decisions from bully government offices that target creative self reliance and ingenuity. It's great that others offered to get the girls their tickets to the water park but the issue still remains and they technically win.
Good example of how govt. regulation destroys the little guy and benefits big business.
Everywhere you look the government is making it harder for someone to make a living, or even make a few bucks.
My hat's off to the lemonade producer who recognized budding
business owners and free market capitalism. The girls have a goal and that sets them a notch above most. Best of luck, ladies!
Bitch it was made with water lemons and some sugar OMG there's some one selling crack but nooo u bust these little girls for selling lemonade
LOL...this is soooo stupid. A friend of mine was a detective for our local police dept. I asked him about a certain house where it was common knowledge the activities that went on in there. He told me that they were told to just ignore that place because "they are not hurting anybody." I should go set up a lemonade stand across the street from that house and watch them come and shut me down. My customers would be drug dealers and prostitutes but they would likely fine me for not having a business license. LOL How stupid is this country now? Unreal
Well when Mr Coolidge ran the show he at least had sense to STAY OUT OF THE way of business. Look it up. It WASN'T called the "ROARING Twenties" for nothing!!
And by the way there were a WHOLE lot of really great thing we could do back then that you whipper snappers couldn't even imagine now.
internet sminternet. RADIO! Now THAT was something.
I know what you mean, my siblings and I, along with every other kid in the neighborhood used to raise money to get ice cream or go to the municipal pool by Kool-Aid/ lemonade stands and the local cops were some of our best customers. This was in Northern California, before Dad moved us to Montana (where kids can still do this without being harassed).

Us too. I grew up in Cali as well, and we used to drag out the old card table and set up in front of the house and sell Kool Aid to the neighbors who would be gracious and buy it. Also the post man, and any other repair man who happened to be in the neighborhood. Often times we would sit outside ( in the fog) until the street lights came on ( in between games of hide and seek of course)
he he. But, but, how can we motivate people to work harder if we don't tax them?? (this is what Chris Matthews said the other night)
