Forcing the baker to make the cake wasn't a goal. The customer wasn't aware of the bakery's stand on homosexuals when they went in to order the cake. Once the baker told the customer that they would not bake the cake for their wedding and the customer went to a lawyer then I'm sure the goal wasn't to force them to bake the cake but to exact some form of revenge for the baker's stance.
Didn’t they go to several bakeries before they found the Christian one to harass? Or was that the situation with the florist?
All these cases happened around the same time and clearly were orchestrated shakedowns by the HRC. RICO laws apply here IMO, but lawyers on FR would know better than I. Criminal conspiracy to commit extortion?
There is NO evidence to support that the couple suffered any loss, nothing in the law allows me to point at you and say, you hurt my feelings, now gimme some money.
The Kleins, as long as they’re very careful not to overstep, should keep doing exactly what they’re doing— continuing to exercise their 1A rights and letting Avakian spew venom and dig his own hole. This guy is asking for a multimillion dollar lawsuit. What the Kleins have suffered DOES rise to that level.
Plus they should sue Gofundme site. Violation of 1A rights, their right to legal defense, due process, equal treatment, free association etc.
Rant off. Lol.
