Back around 1994 the heavyweight contender Mitch "Blood" Green was broke. He walked into a gas station on the Grand Central Parkway by LaGuardia Airport, punched out the two attendents and spent the next few hours pumping gas and pocketing the receipts.
Green was half of the best heavyweight fight of the decade when he and Tyson duked it out on the street at three in the morning outside a leather store in Harlem.

Now this is the kind of crook I can support. A hard working, happy guy. He takes lemons and makes lemonade. What’s not to like?

Should pin a medal on the guy. He starts with a 6 pack and a dream....

Well, I think liquor licenses are bogus shakedowns, anyway.
I hope he doesn’t serve much time.

He’s a real entrepreneur! A little unconventional, perhaps, but his financial principles are sound.

Kevie kicked off his business with a six-pack of beer he bought and resold at the club...30 customers per day... If nothing else, it shows that without the impact of taxes and government interference, you can quickly grow a business. The lack of capital investment for the structure on Mr. Kevie's part didn't hurt either...

Deputies describe Kevie as a transient. So a trannsy was running an illegal bar operation. That's what the Stonewall riots were about and museums now celebrate that as "liberating".

I understand the need to do things the right way, and the landlord needs his piece, but in this day and time, someone employing people needs to be permitted to do what he can do.

You know, this guy epitomizes the American spirit of free enterprise and they put him in jail for it, simply because he broke a few dozen, and needless, laws. This is the type of spirit that made us the greatest country in the world and has since been killed off because of BS laws and regulations.

He deserves some honorable mention in the next issue of Modern Drunkard. He’s at least as morally upright as most politicians and bureaucrats who are presently part of the United States government.
