It doesn’t work unless you change your name and get swarthy. The man was of the protected class.

Go to tshirthell.com and wear some of their shirts to a local church food fair, and see what happens? Not discrediting tshirthell, great site for rock concert attire.

If the “local church food fair” was on their own property why couldn't they toss ya or even have you arrested for disturbing the peace?

Nearly a quarter million $$$?
If I had been on the jury, his only award would have been a new T-shirt --
with this on it:
