Pseudobureaucrat Calls Police on Free Lemonade Stand
Loading...
Uploaded by freeconcordtv on Aug 22, 2011
On Lemonade Freedom Day, August 20, 2011, I served free lemonade at the Concord farmer's market in Concord, NH. One patron of the farmer's market, who identified himself as 'the president', was particularly offended by the lemonade dispensery and, in his disdain, tried grabbing my cooler and my camera. When he realized I wasn't going to let him just steal my property, he called the police to have armed men do what he wouldn't. However, the police did not see a free lemonade operation as a sufficient enough threat to the health and safety of the community to warrant taking action, and left. The president then decided he would have the last laugh by erecting a makeshift sign declaring, "NOT A MEMBER of the Concord farmer's market".
Lemonade Freedom Day is a national effort to resist the shutdown of children's lemonade stands around the country by government authorities. Kudos to the government authorities for choosing not to take action in this instance and allowing the free exchange of lemonade and positive vibes to commence.

i am glad that there are people like you around fighting for are rights

@hopenchrist777 And what did he accomplish in all of this, did anyone at the farmers' market have the slightest thing to do with kids not being able to sell lemonade on their front lawn? No, all he did was cause a scene at some random little farmers' market and invite a bunch of name calling on youtube towards some target that nobody should even care about.

I can appreciate showing solidarity with kids whose lemonade stands were shut down, and your obnoxious douchebaggy tactics might even be tolerable to watch had you gone after someone who actually had something to do with these cases, but what does some farmers' market have to do with it? Maybe you were within your rights to cause a disturbance but to target some little market that had nothing to do with lemonade stands comes off as malicious and petty, and completely ineffective.

Recording video in public is NOT a crime the last time I czeched. Ever heard of Article 1 of The Bill of Rights, a.k.a The First Amendment of THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION?

Clearly the individual who videotaped this has absolutely no ethics in regards local businesses and farmers. He also has zero respect for the members of the farmers' market. (@gettheredone "farmers'" IS punctuated correctly as there is more than ONE farmer at the market. - try going back to your high school English class, maybe you will learn something.)
Setting up ANY "stand" without at least having the respect for the other members TAKES AWAY from what they PAY FOR.
Get a life.

You have a good legal case for having suffered an assault. The assailant believes an assault requires PHYSICAL CONTACT --that is false, and it is a very widely held misconception. All that is legally required for a person to have a valid legal claim of having suffered an assault is a reasonable BELIEF that he was in danger of immediate harm --nothing more. The film --which he acknowelged & interfered with-- confirms that HE is the unreasonable one. My bed is you'dHaveProBonoRepresentation.
