At Memories Pizza, New Threats Arise; Press's Determination to Ignore Them Continues
MRC NewsBusters ^ | 04/02/2015 | Tom Blumer

Update, April 3: The Indiana man who claims to have been hacked now admits that he wasn't, but says he was "joking" about robbing Memories Pizza, and is threatening to sue those who exposed his (ahem) public comments.

Those of us following the Memories Pizza story won't have trouble remembering it as the years go by, thanks only partially to the Walkerton, Indiana store's fairly unusual name for a pizzeria.

What will also easy to recall are the "memories" of the unhinged and threatening leftist behavior that accompanied its owner's simple statement that, if the request ever arose, they would have to turn down catering a same-sex "marriage" because participating in or supporting such a ceremony violates their firm Christian religious beliefs — and the press's attempts to cover up what their journalistic malfeasance unleashed.

At last count, we had: •a tweeted wish to organize a group to burn the store down — a tweet described only as "mean" by the station responsible for the original ambush story. •a separate threat to the GoFundMe organizer who has a orchestrated a campaign which had raised over $379,000 for Memories as of 9:30 p.m. ET. •and, to top it off, another threat, by someone who now laughably claims he was hacked, to steal from the O'Connors the money that has been raised.

I’m not sure they should re-open. The gaystapo will be trying to set them up every other day.

The owners and their supporters need to lock and load, and hire a team of pit bull lawyers — for their self-defense.

I'd like to see the owners of Memories Pizza use some of the money being raised to sue this guy, the teacher who advocated burning down their restaurant, and others who have been making terrorist threats against them. BTW, why isn't the Justice Department going after the people making these threats for civil rights violations?

They need to publish the name and home address of the reporter who started all this.

At your service! HERE is the story of the individual who started the thing. Her name is Alyssa Marino. Apparently she's taking a little heat for it, too.

that reporter should get her comeuppance....she went to make her self a name off of somebodys simple speculation....

this happened here as well...a woman put a sign outside her little restaurant...something like " vets lives matter too" and lo and behold, a local reporter decided to go ask the local naacp person what her reaction was to it...

the restaurant of course was threatened and all kinds of problems resulted...

we are living in Nazi Germany...

A soon to be ex-PE teacher and pyromaniac has been caught. Who else has come in from the swamp to harass these folks?

I wonder how much they will net after fees, and Federal, State, and local (if any) Taxes.


I would believe it is more than the take home from the pizza biz.

Sign me up.

At least on the Fed level the donations are pure gifts not income and need not even be reported. At least that used to be the law, knowing the tax boys that's probably changed ... Sigh.

Homos can come in my establishment as long as they are disguised.

In other words, as long as they act like normal people.

You mean Alyssa Marino? The one that should be FIRED for instigating all this? You can FIRE her enabler at the parent ABC network, Karen Travers, as well.
