I’m probably wrong about this but I see this as more of a matter that the various ‘governmental drones’ are pushing at as many ‘buttons’ as they can to get someone, ‘anyone’, to commit actions that they can bring the full armed might of the government down on.
This particular issue is one that has extremely high emotional content to it and could be brought to a boil by using the MSM and various government ‘edicts’ and statements to enflame people.
I also think that the Washington State Attorney General has figured out this is a lose/lose issue and case for that purpose. As evidence I see the ‘paltry’ offer of a minimal fine and paying court costs instead of the life wrecking court judgement against the Florist.
She’s holding firm, public sentiment is on her side. I mean the REAL public sentiment not what the MSM allows out through their ‘editorial and reporting filters’. And at the same time the expected ‘hotheads’ haven’t materialized, at least not on her side.
And if this goes to a Jury trial... All bets are off for the government, the possibility of Jury Nullification is just too darn high for their side. And frankly they can’t afford to lose any case like this. To use a metaphor... A single pebble can cause a avalanche of unbelievable power and destruction.
A single florist, much like a single black lady at a lunch counter in Selma Alabama has the power to change America once again.
A correction!
My lovely and dear wife corrected me in that it was the Black lady refusing to sit at the back of the Bus, not the Lunch counter incident.
History... so many thing have happened and they can and do get jumbled up in my memory.
