Guys, you forgot something important. Shutting down illegal lemonade stands run by children is helping the war against drugs!  Roll Eyes
So what's next now? Banning children from playing in neighbourhood? Or arresting children for crying? It seems Police in Texas have stopped crime completely, that's why they are now enforcing laws on children for keeping themselves getting paid.
Do you have a license to play in the neighborhood? You might be spreading germs!

Now to be serious. This is really ridiculous and we should not be wasting the tax money on arresting little children. I'm pretty sure that there are other issues that need attending first.

Completely agree with you. From time to time we are listening about shootouts in schools, colleges, malls. There must be hundreds of people planning same kind of thing everyday. And instead of making strategies to stop these kind of attacks, they are busy in catching lemonade selling children

The sisters plan to try again this weekend. Instead of selling their lemonade, they'll give it away for free and accept donations.

A loophole and a simple solution for a stupid law.

Hmm... I am sure that the lawmakers will soon notice this loophole and put and end to it by amending the rules and regulations. That said, the American lawmakers, judges and the cops are not lunatic everywhere. In some of the smaller towns and cities, they do permit the sale of lemonade by the kids. Check these links:

Quote
Steve Crosier, director of food protection services at the Metro Nashville Public Health Department, said in an email that children younger than 16 are permitted to run a lemonade stand and sell baked goods at public events in Tennessee without a permit, provided they don’t do so more than three times a year.

And here is an example of the children-hating lowlife scum:

Quote
A 12-year-old boy in Dunedin, Florida, got a lesson in petty tyranny when his 61-year-old neighbor repeatedly badgered city officials to shut down the concession stand at which he sells cookies and lemonade. County police came to the neighborhood several times as a result, but appear to have stopped short of demanding the closure of the stand.

This is brilliant! It was predicted by (oYo) earlier this year, when cops were going after kids shovelling snow!

What's next? Is it going to be lemonade stands this summer? Am I supposed to feel privileged to have had an actual childhood, now?  Angry

Actually TECSHARE pointed out (later in that thread) that cops have already been going after lemonade stands (at least as far back as 2011).

Oh yeah. I remembered reading about it, but didn't realize that it was a response in the same thread. Guess I didn't search hard enough. Smiley

It's so sad that it's almost funny. Illegal lemonade stand. It is as absurd as it sound Cheesy
Not sure where the cops/government are/is trying to go with this..

Yes, it is absurd. But such incidents do happen, when you live under the police state. That said, most of my anger is directed towards the lowlife scum, who informed the police that "illegal" lemonade sales are going on in the neighborhood. Some say that it was their neighbor, but we don't know for sure, as the cops are refusing to reveal the identity of the informer.

Just another incident to prove how brave and courageous these police officers are in the United States.  Grin But still, In this case I believe that the police officers were merely following the orders which they received from their superiors. In my honest opinion, the state of Texas does not need $150 in license fee from these two little girls, to make the ends meet. Tax the adults as much as you want, but please leave the children alone.

I second you on that. Its ridiculous and actually a harassment on those girls. Instead of catching criminals, they are tormenting those little girls. Pathetic!!  Angry

What people are discovering is the true aim of governments and banks that collude with each other and that is to keep people in a continuous cycle of debt and spending. If people could create truly self-sufficient socities then there would hardly be a need for them anymore so they find out all sorts of ways to get them into trouble no matter how ridiculous it is just so they can keep forcing people into a corner and exorting as much money out of them as possible.

Have to agree with your observations here. By making it mandatory to obtain a permit (which costs $50 per day) for these lemonade stands, they are effectively making it impossible for them to operate. So instead of drinking natural and fresh lemonade, we have to opt for the toxic laden beverages such as Pepsi and Coca Cola.

They destroy those that attempt to break (us) free from debt slavery. Lincoln, JFK and even Gaddafi were all assassinated because they were trying to free the people from the banksters.

In that case, all of us (who use Bitcoins) will be on their hit list.

Somehow I understand. Food is strongly regulated everywhere. They should sell cards, drawings, key rings or little stuff like that. Think about all the paperwork a farmer has to fill to be allowed to sell fresh produce in a market.

Sorry, but that's not true either. They don't care what you're selling, the state wants a cut. They even go after kids shoveling snow.

Perhaps it is time to forget the "war on drugs" and the "war on the ISIS". The new priority for the cops is the "war on lemonade stands". Just imagine the logic in saying that the kids should take a permit from the authorities (which cost around $50 per day), to set up a lemonade stand which can bring them $5 or $10 in profits.

And to know more about the American government's war on lemonade stands, check this:

they are lucky they didn't get tasered or shot, pigs do that to children, elderly and disabled people all the time  Angry

Police Say Tasering 8-Year-Old Native American Girl Was Justified

An the other hand, this was an excellent lesson: many adults still believe that police and government are good things. A bit of real life experience with government henchmen early on can help to fix this.  Grin

There are a lot of guns in private ownership in America. I wonder why cops not getting shot all the time because of their brutality.

Because most people have too much to lose

And like the frog put into hot water, they don't recognize how freedom is eliminated every day. You see, if a dictator would try to take over from the outside, there would be rebellion and people would risk their lives fighting the police state. But when the government turns into a dictatorship little by little, and people are  getting used to this, and have too much to lose.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog

The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability or unwillingness of people to react to threats that occur gradually, such as creeping state surveillance.[1]


Because most people have too much to lose? Well, I wouldn't say it's true. There are a lot of ppl who have just debts in America. I think eventually if the economical situation will be getting worse, we well see a massacre on american streets.
