#2 Despite its latest decision, Mellow Johnny's said its shop is not "anti-police."
"We do believe our local police force will protect us from the very threats we are receiving right now," Mellow Johnny's said in the statement.

Wonderful logic.

#3 Anathema! But... can it be,
When I've snubbed to the umpteenth degree,
Adding nails to the coffin,
As happens so often...
That someone gets deader to me?

#4 Sort of dead is like sort of pregnant.

The exception is the description of Kurtz: "Mistah Kurtz. Him dead. Him gah damn dead..."

#6 Not to worry. Lance will soon issue a statement that "management of the shop is completely autonomous."

#8 Surely this shop can do what it wants, but I would like to tune back in in about a year to see how the shop is performing. A mistake, IMO, but we will see.

#10 Well, just try refusing service to all black patrons of any business then explaining you're not anti-black.

#11 I ride a 40 year old Specialized StumpJumper, the original mountain bike. It's too heavy and only 18 speed. Still, If they came out all Woke today, the bike is long paid for an still works. If I had to replace it I mint have to hunt around.

#17 I expect a little arson and blame conservatives and Cops for not responding or blaming the owners for the arson.
