Yeah, this one could make a racist libertarian's head explode:

"Vice Mayor Philip Vandegrift said a compromise -- possibly asking lemonade stand operators to pay a nominal fee or establishing a license fee waiver for children under a certain age -- could be the outcome of Daniela's experience.

However, the city needs to enforce vendor laws, Vandegrift said, "otherwise we'll have people on every corner."

But Vandegrift doesn't want to take away lemonade stands from children. For many, it represents their first opportunity to flex their entrepreneurial muscles.

"I had many a lemonade stand as a kid right in front of my home," he said."

Bastard 7 year olds, taking away all the god jobs from good hard working Americans! They don't pay taxes, they don't speak the language properly, they even get free housing and this god damn socialist government is allowing it to happen! We should throw these little bastards in jail or send them back where they came from. Yeah that's right shove them right back down there, right next to that shit hole.

I can see both sides of the story on this one. But don't blame the "police", it's more like the "city." The Police were just enforcing what the city told them to do. But operating without a permit, that's retarded. Operating in a unsafe location with the potential of a car accident or worse. The dad should have known better.

Like I always say, common sense is no longer common. I would understand them shutting her down if she was trying to open a curbside restaurant, or selling clothes out of the back of her mom's car, but selling lemonade is something kids in the US have done since my dad was a kid. This is just overzealous law enforcement and a lack of criteria by the cop.

This is wrong and he should be fired and the "law" repealed.

People aren't going to take this garbage much longer.
At least not the sheeple of this country.


But don't blame the "police", it's more like the "city." The Police were just enforcing what the city told them to do.

The same things the Nazis said and the police that beat Rodney King.

"We were just following orders." :crash:

Now they say there was "probable cause" which is a load, if the "cause" was wrong they should be fired.

They can't use "probable cause" as a crutch to fall on. :nono:

Damn police/govt telling the kid and her parents "no you can't have a lemonade stand by a busy highway", " But I will never make enough to go disneyland with it front of my house officer" (which they said would have been allowed).Great parents ,let her become road kill.:eek:
