Yeah, someone might get hurt trying to keep me from leaving that place.
Any way that we could all order something from Sweet Cakes?
Or how about a “help” fund for them?
I didn’t say THEY were ignorant. They said in the video they didn’t know the law .... that is called “ignorance of the law”. Otherwise I agree with you.
wth is some labor commissioner to tell them HOW they have to pay a debt???
unbelieveable
Seems to me they should have a yard sale, even an online yard sale
Sell their children’s toys and books and such to pay off the lesbians
I would bet with proper publicity they could make $135,000
Shows his financial problems and basically what a jerk he is.
You are 100% correct, but it seems some commenters refuse to recognize the fact that it is (unfortunately) a law in the state of Oregon, however stupid the law may be, and if they acted against the law they broke it. That is step one.
Step two is doing something against that stupid law.
Thanks for sharing a picture of the neo-Marxist tyrant.
I think he did this to try and set a precedent. I doubt this will stand in court if the couple finds competent lawyers. This Marxist clearly exceeded his statutory authority. He cannot impose gag orders or have them arrested. He also cannot issue punitive fines or dictate how they will be paid. Only a court of law can impose these. He can only issue standard civil fines and suspend or revoke a business license.
Not only is their 8th amendment rights being violated by this tyrant, but also their 1st amendment rights to Freedom of religion and free speech. All this couple needs is competent legal representation and a fair, constitution respecting judge. They would also be better pursuing this as a civil rights case in Federal, not state court.
I agree that the chances of it being allowed is zilch. Which is a shame because had the bakery been allowed to post such a sign then all this could have been avoided.
Leaving aside for a moment that the law would never allow it, why not?
Perhaps he's hoping to capitalize on his notoriety in this matter to recharge his political career?
I think so or he really loves lesbians.
If they are incorporated ...isn't that "order" illegal?
I definitely would think so as this had to do with a business.
There is a link at post 104 in which you can donate.
Mr. Avakian should immediately be sued, personally, for deliberate infringement of the owner’s Constitutional right to free speech.
A check for $135,000, paid from Mr. Avakian’s personal assets, should be enough to settle the whole thing.
