Salon: Pizzeria Closed After Death Threats Getting Exactly What It Deserved

Liberal clickbait factory Salon.com wants to let you know that Memories Pizza, the pizzeria supportive of Indianas Religious Freedom Act that was forced to close after constant abuse and death threats, got exactly what it deserved. (RELATED: Owners Of Indiana Pizzeria Opposed To Gay Marriage Receive Death Threats)
In a now-deleted tweet, Salons Twitter account gloated over the closure of anti-LGBT pizza shop:
Pizza The link in the body of the tweet goes to a very brief Salon article which reports on Memories Pizzas closure, but omits any mention of the death threats:
The owners of a small-town pizza shop who showed support for Indianas controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act have announced that they will be closing indefinitely, after facing mounting protests outside the physical establishment and online. Memories Pizza owner Kevin OConnor told Fox News on Wednesday that due to an inability to differentiate between real and fake orders, he and his family would be taking a break. Because I dont believe in something that they want, they see fit to be angry about it, OConnor said. Its just been ugly. I dont know what to call it. Conservative Twitter users hit back at Salon over the tweet.

I don’t think the store will have ongoing problems...
they just need to lay low for a while and live off the beneficence of the people donating for their support.
The left isn’t that... focused. They’ll find another target when this one isn’t readily available to pick on.
Since the majority of their attackers are far away, I doubt that any of your fears will come to pass. Majority income for small town pizza are from locals coming in. I don’t even know if they do delivery, but aside from some favors for regulars, I doubt it.
Hopefully if any orders are passed down from above, little league teams and other youth groups should ignore them and continue patronizing the pizza house. Which really is the bread and butter of such a business.
No.

I disagree. The Left is ALWAYS focused. It has been focused since Karl Marx made his famous pronouncements decades ago.
Would that the Right and the clueless Center be so focused and organized as the hard Left.
Obama is one of the MOST FOCUSED evil-doers in the world....operating efficiently behind the guises of "inexperienced", "well-meaning but ignorant", "unfocused", "lazy" etc.....guises that know-nothing friends and foes alike ascribe to him.
No, the fears and jeopardy (real or imaginary) this pizza family faces will NOT go away, ever.....unless they reluctantly have to make some hard decisions which we should hope WE never have to make.

No. Since each is a Gift and is less than $14,000 there are no taxes.
The average donation is $30
All the reason never give interviews
I pray that Obama’s IRS won’t go after them
It's a gift to the person who opens the gofundmen site. In this case that isn't the people who run the pizza parlor. From a legal standpoint when the money is given to the pizza parlor then is it one single gift of hundreds of thousands of dollars, in which case gift taxes apply? Or is it still thousands of individuals, in which case they wouldn't?
I know that. The question is who the donor is in this case? Is it the thousands of individuals? If that is true then there is no gift tax since all the donations are below the limit. But they didn't give the money to the O'Conners, they gave it to the guy who opened the gofundme site. So when he does give the money to the O'Conners then is it a single donation of over half a million dollars? If so then there is a gift tax due, and unless the guy who opened the site is willing to front the 40% of the total then he's going to have to take it from the amount collected. And I assume pay income tax on that as well. So if I'm right then at the end of the day the O'Conners will still get a tidy sum to help them weather the storm that has hit them but I don't think it'll be close to the half-million plus collected.
I posted this yesterday on another thread - #67... it needs some 'airing'.
This small militant minority is driven by this spirit as they were in Sodom to continue until they receive total destruction [they don't call it sodomy mysteriously.] These activists are not out attacking Muslims or Jews - they are attacking Christians!
I do not know the final outcome of this instance of this eternal spiritual battle but it will not be resolved without a fight - unfortunately.
thanks....saw it
That’s a hate crime. Sue them.
Hi, Bob. We have been fighting the battle here for a long time but I think we have not fought hard enough and will be leaving our kids and grandkids a country we never imagined.
Certainly the country is deteriorating at an alarming rate, and we do what we can - other than becoming Muzlims, which these misguided souls will never face off with.
But the spirit that brought Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction can probably only be defeated on our knees. This is just about the most virulent destructive spirit in Satan's pantheon.
Still, good to see you continuing to occupy the battlefront! ;-)
