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.

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

I wonder how many of those donations were made using Apple equipment? GoFundMe should be able to extract the answer from their logs.

“What an awful name for a pizza parlor.”

Way to fight on the fag side. This aint the time to snipe at them unless you wanna help the homos.

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'

Another one ...

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

Yeah, and they pay about 2% for Credit Card transactions, leaving them about 3%. Enough to keep the lights on and keep the servers running.
Its probably the lowest overhead i’ve ever heard of in a charity.
They are orders of magnitude better than Wounded Warrior, United Way, Susan Komen, etc,,, those routinely forward only a fraction to the actual cause.

Amazing how everyone gets a case of the fainting vapors about gofundme, when Wounded Warrior has 42% overhead. Susan Komen finds all kinds of things to do with their pinkmail loot, including a whole 15% going to breast cancer research!

But no,, go fund me and 5% raw is the problem./

Unfortunate that she’s decided to spend her life as a noxious metrosexual twit. In a different persona she could be a cute girl.

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

He can easily give say, 5 million and that would overtake whatever Memories Pizza has thus far.

That’s why the dollar amount doesn’t matter.

Are you a homo?

If not, STFU.

I have an opinion...if you don't like it...perhaps you are intolerant.

I am an investment banker with much experience in venture capital.

Memories Pizza is a poor choice for a name. Mixes sentimentality with palate.

That would be a problem...unless you are a sentimental fag. Are you?

As an advertising guy, I would agree.

However, in a town of 2000, a retail establishment's name is no moment whatsoever. Everybody in town is familiar with the owners and their product.

Threatening leftist behavior? ROTFLMAO!

American leftists hate guns and the femi-Nazis have castrated every inch of manhood out of these mascara-wearing bed-wetters.

They can’t fight for sh*t. That includes fat SEIU union slobs, state-sponsored terrorists at the ATF and FBI and the doughnut-munching wimps at DHS .

Only they are good Christians so of course never said something like that. -——

Yeah and I hope you know I was kidding.

And I also hope they give 10% to their church. I know I would.

PSS: If you do know where this guy lives, let me know. I would be happy to do to him what the Canadian lib did to the Kid in Texas.

“I am willing to say I won’t sell to gays if GoFundMe organizers would send me that kind of money.
It was over $500K earlier today. It will likely go up to $1 million. You’ve got to sell a lot of pizzas to make $1 million.
Here is my statement, “I don’t want to do business with sicko homos.” Now GoFundMe to the tune of about $1 million.”

So far as I know, you and your business haven’t been baited by a zealot reporter, and then personally threatened by leftist freaks....

It shouldn't be hard to find him. He has his own crowd-funding campaign underway at IndieGogo for his "urban agriculture" project Red Giant Union. $180 of $10,000 raised from four donors. No wonder he's pissed!

The Elites want to make us do something against our will. Sell our souls for a few dollars or force us to do something by law.
