Maine propane dealer to Trump voters: ‘I will no longer be delivering your gas’

State and Capital ^ | December 16, 2016 | Michael Shepherd

[RC one]

we have to bake their fu**ing wedding cakes, but they can refuse to deliver heating fuel to us in the dead of winter? Someone really needs to have a talk with this fellow.

[PGR88]

No one said leftists are smart - particularly the low-level drones.

[arl295]

Propane is generally in rural areas, rural areas are generally Trump supporters

This guy did not think through his business idea well enough

Enjoy your business liquidation sale

[headstamp 2]

Incredibly stupid businessman.

Trump supporters pay their bills.

[forgotten man]

So if somebody has a contract with that guy they should sue the shite out of him.

[joshua c]

No worries. The new owner will not discriminate.

It’d be too bad if his pipeline got shutoff for some reason, like low volume.

[rlmorel]

Exactly. The door should swing both ways. Personally, I think people should be able to choose who they do business with.

That said, the playing field should be level. If propane dealers don’t want to do business with Trump voters, bakeries shouldn’t have to produce cakes for homosexual weddings.

If a baker is prosecuted for refusing to bake a cake for homosexual weddings, then propane dealers should be prosecuted for refusing to service Trump voters.

Hank Hill needs to straighten this fella out.

[digger48]

Meanwhile, his competitors thank him for the business

[Gargantua]

I hope this prick and his whole Commie family starve and freeze to death this winter. FU Trump Haters!

[RC one]

I wonder if there is an alternate company available to pick up his business? If not, this is a big deal.

[nitzy]

Maybe Christians should just say we don't want to bake cakes for people with the political ideology that agrees with same sex marriages. Since the prospective clients are actually participating in a gay marriage they obviously agree with them and that political belief is why we refuse to bake their cake.

Problem solved.

Someone should beat the s**t out of him until he begs to serve everyone.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Cletus would respond:

I’ll be over-indulging on navy beans and and cabbage.
Then, I’ll be delivering YOU my gas in your store front.
Have a nice day.

[nitzy]

That boy aint right.

[Jmouse007]

Report him to the state's Attorney General. I'm pretty sure this is illegal, especially given the fact that some customers heat their entire house with propane making this a matter of "public safety" and a matter of life or death for some, especially senior citizens.

Then file a class action discrimination (Freedom of association, infringement of free speech) law suit and sue this Neanderthal back to the stone age!

[Mr. K]

Apparently it is OK to sue people who refuse to service you for your beliefs

So... go get them!

[bramps]

Broke and bitter is no way to go through winter in Maine. Someone should take all sharp objects away from this guy.
