View Full Version : Six Year Old Capitalist Terrorized In Florida

As crack dealers, serial rapists, car thieves, drug smugglers, murderers, kidnappers and other dangerous criminals run around free with no danger from anyone calling the police on them, a 6 year old girl (http://www.nbc-2.com/News/stories/061803-lemonade_stand.shtml) gets the police called on her for running a lemonade stand.

If only the crack-dealing, car thieving, kidnapping, murdering, mugging criminal predators could get the same treatment this country would be a better place to live.

But since the six year old girl was a capitalist, she just had to be reported to Florida SWAT, the Justice Department, The Florida National Guard, the DEA and everyone else I couldn't think of right now.

Well done to the courages officers. You see Jedi, there is a little known fact that the kids who used to sell things on the street grow up to be drug dealers. In fact, latest research shows us that 85% kids who partake in lemonade stands will turn out to be dealers/addicts by the age of 18! This is certainly a step in the right direction and I hope it continues.

That's just the tip of the feminist iceberg. A full 78% of all female owned lemonade stand operators grow up to become matriarchal terrorists. Further, due to AA, this particular femiyouthnazi displaced a more qualified white male lemonade operator.

Edit to add - I'm so impressed with this story and JK's courge to post it, I will be giving this thread 5 stars.

The funny thing that JK fails to understand is that "capitalsits" are who creates those laws.

You see JK capitalists like licenses because it helps to protect their advantage by requiring a fee for entry into competition thereby reducing their competition and helping them retain control.

Overall registrations have valid purposes, but in this case its probably just a poorly written law, that was called in by a grumpy old foggie. I know Naples, its a white community with half the people over 65.

Quite. But your numbers are off.

Of the trillions of little drink stand thugs, fully 106% went bad later in life.

Wait...maybe 107%.

Here is one place where us backwards Euronazis, sorry, it's Eurocommies (I keep mixing them) are ahead of the US. Here we have basically managed to abolish lemonade stands alltogether! I do however hail the incessant effort of the US police to curb rampant lemonade peddling over there! Once you succeed, we only need to persuade European citicens to start carrying guns (although that might be a difficult task), and we can all be one big family! (Hopefully, we won't have to start driving pick-up trucks :eek: )

so, are you claiming that there has been nobody arrested for either Drug dealing, rape, car theft, drug smuggling, murder or kidnap lately? Or is this statement just theatrical grandstanding?

This is obviously a case of lawlessness in the streets, why are you not down there with your mech battalion putting down this lemonade uprising?

Hey JK, that is why the Martians left Mars to come to Earth.

There was this one group capitalist Martians who were running lemonade stands but were chased off by a conspiracy of Homo-Islamo-Commino-Drugo-Enviro-Leftos. So they revenged themselves by freezing the lemonade into giant clubs that they used to bludgeon HICDELs.

If you look closely at some of those Mars photos you periodically post you can see the lemon shapes.

By the way, I will rate this thread five stars.

Pat on the back to the US police force! Everyone knows that lemonade is a gateway substance to harder things! How long before that little girl would have become a drug-wizened junior school crack whore, tarting herself round the playground for the price of a drug high or sherbert dip? And then how long before she would have been "rescued" by the MRA (Matriarchal Republican Army), taught psy-op techniques like staring critically at guys at sports events or making annoying comments during the game on TV, which, as we all know, is solely designed to grind men down and cause impotency and premature hair loss.

A yard sale is not a business.

This is obviously a local law, city or country. They wrote it, complain to them.

I highly doubt the law was intended to be applied to lemonade stands.

The person to bitch about is the one who called in and complained.

The police have no choice but to respond to calls and act according to the law, it would have been illigal for them not to take action.

And, as I said these types of laws are typically written at the request of wealthy/influential businessmen or organizations who have become powerful in the commmunity and seek to protect their own status.

Thats the whole issue with capitalism, its a system that tends to "defeat itself". Those that become successful typically try to prevent others from becoming successful, and once successful they have the power and money to keep others from challenging their position.

When someone starts a buiness they do not do things to help others start similar businesses, they would hurt their own business, hence, these types of laws get created. This is a bit of an extreme example on my part because I doubt is the motivation here since its only a $35 registration fee, but generally that is part of the motive behind registration laws, of course there are also many other reasons for business registration laws as well.

Generally though when a "capitalist" achieves success they naturally raise the level of entry into competition as well as typically take actions, such as promoting these laws to also increase the level of entry into competition.

That has nothing to do with it. The 6 year old kid had a SWAT team show up at her house with armor-piercing bullets ready to fire, while in the meantime, crime such as murder, rape, crack-dealing, car theft, bomb-making, etc, never gets called in by 'neighbors' because it is easier to terrorize a 6 year old capitalist with soldiers than it is to confront real problems. No one in that town has the guts to deal with rampant narco-trafficking and other crime, so let's just waste the police department's time by sending a full 20 squadrons of cops to handcuff a 6 year old kid trying to sell lemonade for 5 cents a glass to start her college fund.

Most telling in this sad tale is not that a permit law exists, but that a neighbor called the police. That, my friends, is "Big Brother", not the government.

Now, regarding the permit law, why should it apply to lemonade stands run by 6-year-olds? Does it apply to 6-year-olds so they can't be made to act as a front for some shameless adult? You can't break even selling lemonade like that, let alone make a profit.

And hey, did anyone collect sales tax on that lemonade?

This issue isn't about the police. The police are going to go where they are told to go.

The issue is about how 'neighbors' are so ready to call the police on 6 year old girls running lemonade stands and yet narco-trafficking and other heavy crimes are "invisible" in the neighborhood.

Elian wasn't exactly "kidnapped". But, he did belong with his father. Unfortunately the situation required enforcement of the father's rights, as opposed to a cooperative solution which the "Miami relatives" chose to avoid. They made their choices, and the government did what it had to do to protect Mr. Gonzalez's rights as a parent.

Cops have no business muscling 6 year old kids running lemonade stands when they can be bringing narco-traffickers down in drug raids.

Unbelievably, and the irony had me laughing all morning, a huge narcotic raid occured near where I live yesterday. My neighborhood is a pretty good place to live and it just goes to show that where there is a lemonade stand there are also drug factories.

Anyway, a massive amount of cops raided this chick's house down the street from me and shut her sorry ass down. She was running one of those crack-factories. I am so happy the police nailed her and now she is in jail waiting to be sentenced. She was a terrorist in the community.

The best part is no more traffic at all hours of the night with that nasty rap music blaring at 4 AM Wooo Hooo.

Here's the actual article:

NAPLES, June 18, 2003 - A six-year-old girl was heartbroken when her small lemonade stand was put out of business because she didn’t have a temporary business permit. A neighbor called the police and her stand was shut down.

"Gotta get ready for the sale,” said Avigayil.

Even though she’s only 6 years old, Avigayil prepares for another day at work.

"We like making money at our lemonade stand. We want it to stay cold so they can have cold lemonade on hot days,” she said.

A young entrepreneur who does the cleaning, even the advertising - and it is paying off.

"We are making lots of tips in our tip jar,” said Avigayil.

But a few days ago, Avigayil and her friends were put out of business by a neighbor.

"We didn't have a permit so she called the cops,” said Avigayil.

The police arrived and shut her down.

"We had to take down our lemonade stand,” said Avigayil.

Abagail did not have a temporary business permit, which is technically a city violation.

"So we had to do something else to play,” said Avigayil.

"I was kind of shocked because I didn't know we needed a permit for 6 year old girls to sell lemonade,” said K.C. Shaw, Avigayil’s mom.

According to the city, they have to act on a formal complaint.

"Normally we don't get involved in it but once we do get a formal request we must take action,” said Al Hogrefe of the city of Naples.

So Avigayil’s mom went to the city code enforcement office with wallet in hand, prepared to buy a permit.

"$35 every single time for a single use,” said Shaw.

Not wanting to be sour, the city played Mr. Niceguy.

"No we did not charge her, no,” said Hogrefe.

They did finally get the permit.

"Basically a blank check to have as many lemonade stands as we can stand,” said Shaw.

So Abagail is back in business and learned laws can be tough, even for a six year old's lemonade stand.

Shaw said the police officers who shut down the stand felt terrible, but they had to do their job. One of the officers even bought a glass of lemonade from Avigayil.

So here's where it stands:

Six year old girl's running a lemonade stand. Tightassed neighbor calls the city, and demands the stand be shut down. Cops, with better things to do, come by and tell child, "Sorry, kiddo, but we have to enforce a dumb law."

Ultimately, everyone realizes this is stupid, neighbor is a tightass, and kids could have been doing something truly stupid and dangerous. Kid reopens, and a cop even buys a glass of lemonade.

YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN, JEDI JACKASS!

KFBK AM ran an interview with the girl's mother today. Turns out it was one grumpy neighbor who complained to the city.

The cop who made the call? A rookie cop on his first week's duty. He couldn't believe he was called out to bust a LEMONADE STAND!

Even the city was embarassed about this. The license, according to the mother, was given free of charge, and with great apology from civic leaders.

The girl is doing great. She's made nearly $200 since reopening, simply giving away the lemonade, and getting tips. Some tips have been as big as $20. She gets to spend half, but the other half has to go into savings. (Smart mom.)

And the neighbor? No one is saying anything. Probably ashamed to show his/her face.
