I have to go to Portland on business in a couple months. At least I know one place NOT to visit.

[rlmorel]

Officer Crooker, thanks for your service to your country in the USMC, and thanks for your service to a populace that would apparently rather spit on you than serve you coffee. I hope someone points you to this thread so you can see this.

Even here, in Massachusetts, we treat our policemen better (as long as you don’t work in Cambridge) If you ever come out this way, Freepmail me, and I’ll buy you a steak dinner, not a worthless POS vegan barf-fest. I mean it.

You know this is really ironic. Leftists want to outsource citizens’ self-protection to the police by outlawing personal firearms. But they also hate the police who are the ones to whom they outsource the personal protection.

Cognitive dissonance. I guess leftism really is a mental illness.

[rlmorel]

I detest liberalism. Okay, I know there are conservative vegans too, but I bet the numbers are pretty one sided...

"I never expected an police officer to come into the space," he said. "If it happened again, I wouldn't serve him."

Well any of you fine Portland officers want to retire early, might need to take a trip down to this hippies coffee house and try to order some and then get turned down..

I wonder what would happen if a black officer decided he wanted a coffee at this hippies crummy shop.

[Lancey Howard]

Why would anybody go near this scumbag Langley and his rat-infested cafe?
Given his preferred clientelle, the place no doubt smells like urine and b.o.

[em2vn]

What would Langley do if a military service member walked in wearing a military uniform?

[IDRATHERNOT]

Any Freepers in Portland should visit the place, order the most complicated coffee that place can dish out and then say “Oh...is this the place that doesn’t serve cops? Nevermind.” — Then leave.

Serves ‘em right!

[surfer]

Well of course...socialism breed vegans...which in turn breeds criminals...of course they hate cops...they are scumbag liberals who don’t deserve to share our free land.

[so_real]

So the owner of this establishment is proud to make his establishment a police-free zone ... that's thinking ahead ... smart ... let me know how that works for him once the local criminal element discovers this.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

I can't do much real good from Texas, however since it is a vegan cafe I shall have a steak tomorrow.

[Secret Agent Man]

Crooks of Portland, the Red and Black Cafe is a police-free zone. Feel free to visit anytime. Police are not welcome there. Your access will be unencumbered.

They are liberal vegans. They do not have weapons. They are nonviolent tofu eaters. Probably not even enough energy to fight back. If you’re lookign for a new hangout spot that the police will not hassle you at, the Red and Black Cafe is a great choice.

[YHAOS]

Langley. You're an idiot . . .

Nothing personal.

Tommy by Rudyard Kipling

I went into a public-’ouse to get a pint o’ beer,
The publican ‘e up an’ sez, “We serve no red-coats here.”
The girls be’ind the bar they laughed an’ giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an’ to myself sez I:
O it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, go away”;
But it’s “Thank you, Mister Atkins”, when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it’s “Thank you, Mister Atkins”, when the band begins to play.

We’ve received threats,” Langley said. “People have threatened to attack us and break our windows.”

So who’s the asshat going to call if someone start breaking his windows? The Vegan Justice League?
