McAllen, TX -- Gone are the days when a kid could make a few extra bucks by selling lemonade on the corner of their street. These days, it's against the law.
A 12-year-old girl and her little brother were just trying to earn a few dollars for their two hermit crabs when a city code enforcement officer in Texas came and shut them down.
The officer told their grandmother that the children needed a permit to sell lemonade, and their grandmother was ticketed for the offense.
"I was mad," the 12-year-old said. "I don't understand why someone would want to do that to two kids and their grandma."
No clue. I live in aztlan del norte aka San Antonio which is along I10. I know that picking blue bonnets was supposed to be illegal. Who knows nowadays. Down is up, good is bad, the seven deadly sins are the seven greatest virtues. Etc...

Calling Walter, Jeff Dunham’s Senor Citizen Puppet for the appropriate comment on the McAllen Cop.
People have no idea what is true Liberty. These petty bureaucrats have exponentially grown in the past few decades. Everyone likely has stories of these parasites causing misery to the citizens of our Republic.
I deeply believe that the mindset of those drawn to such jobs is the exact same as those that gave rise to all totalitarian dictatorships. These are truly sadistic humans who relish punishing and humiliating other humans.
What is truly evil is they hide behind the law. A petty thief has more honor than any government parasite -- paraphrasing Lysander Spooner :)
“I don’t understand why someone would want to do that to two kids and their grandma.”
Honey, all leftist thought is of and from Satan. Some people explain it as a mental disorder, but it’s more in the way of a spiritual disorder.”
It’s both!!!
There’s been an epidemic of these incidents recently.
A nation-wide problem needs Washington’s action.
Obama should appoint a Lemonade Czar to get a handle on the problem.
Besides, it’s not just lemonade - that’s just the gateway cooler.
Soon enough, it’ll be Koolaid, and we know where that ends up!
Interesting to read your comment because my wife is finally realizing that everyones behavior stems from how we address the hole that is in our soul when we are born into human bodies and, generally speaking, disconnected from God.
May the Holy Spirit guide her every step of the way.
Thanks for pointing that out. I saw the story on the news, and I thought, "they set up their lemonade stand at a city park, or they have a Commercial Splash Park at their house?"
Hey Kid, welcome to the police state.
