Rob Roy is the owner of Rob Roy Auto in Salisbury, Massachusetts, and he has a rather unusual hobby. Besides being a businessman, he likes to stir up political drama with some of his homemade signs that he posts outside his shop. He has been doing this for years, but it is his latest choice of signs that seems to be getting him in some hot water. There is no question that Roy is proud of some of the signs that he has posted, including one of his controversial ones, which was a picture of a Confederate flag that had the description that it was something that thousands of Americans had bled and died for. Naturally, Rob was indeed slammed for that sign, but perhaps not surprisingly, that isnt his biggest offender. He actually has recently put up a sign that mocks Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, calling them a name that is often used as an offensive term for describing women. This sign will also be offensive to snowflakes simply because it also includes a sexually explicit insult that is directed at this U.S. Presidential campaign ticket.

No. He has a free speech right to put the sign up.
Who forces him?
While I agree with what you say, this guy would appear to have a textbook 1A lawsuit.
It's a risk, but a calculated one.
His DSO is probably low too because conservatives tend to pay their bills on time.
False headline. He was not forced to take down sign.

Ha! Good one.
Thank you. This is the world premier of that version.
One person’s offensive is another person’s made my day f*&^ing inspiring!
Good one.
Body shop owner was practicing truth in advertising.
So true. Conservatives are also far more likely to pay their bills on time or work something out if they can’t.
NOTHING offends a liberal as much as the truth!
With regards to your statement, my former Ed Jones adviser had CNN on during a review. It pissed me off so much I fired her.
Can't blame you, it tells you she can't think straight.
Alienation of customers would be my least worry.....................
I know business owners who dont want that kind of customer.
One of the perks of owning your own buisness.
If you are successful you can pick your clients.
Exactly. I own a business that is profitable and been doing this for almost 30 years. I made the decision to increase my quotes for those who had Ossoff signs and Hillary signs and stickers during the last election cycle for President. Ive found that not only are my clients much better quality, my employees are much happier. Up until this fake virus year my business has increased over 10 percent each year and Ithaca with choosing who I conduct business with. On the increased pricing if those particular clients sign up theres enough money in it to deal with the headaches
Can you believe it?
Some people are even offended by a basic garden tool!
He can put up a new one with Plugs/Jugs 2020.
Yes, the sign is offensive to some & probably should be re-worded or not put up, but as you say....what about the rainbow flags & stuff like that which are offensive to most people? If there is selective freedom of speech,what are the terms? If someone causes an offense to others by running for election (and very possibly misrepresenting oneself, does no one have a right to say something?
“Could be business is good enough hes pre-screening them.”
It’s an autobody shop...he’ll ALWAYS have business unless carmakers start building cars out of Flubber. LOL
