Desperate people do desperate things and there are laws higher that Oregon state law. All the parties involved should reflect on alternatives to resolve this matter.

These patriots need to move to America.

Perhaps some Texans will see fit to increase the number of bakers in San Antonio by 2.

If I had owned this business I would have gotten a burn permit from the city then let the insurance lapse and burn the damned thing down to the ground...

The fake “marriage” SCOTUS decision clinched it.
