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've read about this pizza parlor in many places...and fully support them.

That said, I just happen to think Memory Pizza is an awful name for a pizza parlor.

Cheese, lighten up, Francis.;-)

Here is my statement, “I don’t want to do business with sicko homos.” Now GoFundMe to the tune of about $1 million.

Only they are good Christians so of course never said something like that. They said they didn't care; it's none of their business and of course they'd serve gays. The reporter then asked the hypothetical question: Would you cater a gay wedding? There, they said, that there was an issue, and they wouldn't do that, it would be against their beliefs.

So, I'm afraid you're not getting your million dollars. Oh, you glossed over the part about having liberal America threatening to kill you, your family and destroy your home and business, being a mockery on the local news and the rest of the stuff that pretty much sparked the fundraising.

A quarter of a MILLION dollars! Amazing. Meanwhile, the sodomites are bringing up the rear (so to speak) at $3,800. That's three thousand, eight hundred dollars.

Yoo-hoo...Tim Cook? Where are you?

There was the 2012 shooting at the Family Research Council, after the SPLC listed them as a hate group

Gofundme must be loving it, too. They take 5% off the top so they’re clearing over $35k so far.

The press MUST ignore any threats to Memories Pizza. Reporting the threats would totally undermine the chosen narrative of hateful, intolerant Christians by bringing hateful, intolerant liberals into the picture. That won’t be allowed.

Who else? How about a "social media reporter" who now claims that the action on her verified twitter account is "personal"

CBS Employee reports Gofundme for fraud 'just in case'

Considering these poor people are probably already flagged for audit by the IRS, I wonder as well.

The owner of the pizza place said the $200,000+ funds already collected by last evening before the word got out, was more than double their annual sales. As Rush was going off the air today, the fund was up to $742,000 and rising. Having Rush spread the word, it will top $1 million before you can blink.

People are tired of the leftist gestapo and the gay mafia in destroying innocent people's businesses and lives. Time to push back and push back hard.

And why are they called “parlors?” Hamburger places are called “joints,” but pizzas get “parlors?”

‘Here is my statement, “I don’t want to do business with sicko homos.” Now GoFundMe to the tune of about $1 million.’

You’re missing the whole point. These people did not set out to make money except by selling pizzas. They didn’t ask for handouts, and they certainly didn’t ask for death threats. This money will hopefully allow these people to put their lives back together as well as to defend their constitutional rights in court.
