As I posted last time, I sent another letter to the "mayor's" office and this is the response I got:
The federal law you mention can be enforced only by the federal
government;
local jurisdictions are prohibited.
We're greatly concerned any time a business decides to leave Portland,
particularly one as long established as Schumacher's. Your mention of
some
of the strategies we have suggested (such as closing on some Saturdays,
removing product from windows, etc) is accurate, but you did not
mention the
most important measure we have asked the Schumachers to take, and which
they
have refused: to not engage the protesters.
We also do not condone name calling or other unpleasant gestures. But
as
unpleasant as they may be, those modes of expression are legal. We
certainly do not support anyone calling anyone else a "fur hag", but we
cannot arrest them either - no less than you could be arrested if you
called
the protesters names.
We have not ignored the protests. For the past several months, we have
stationed police officers to monitor the protests consistently. But we
can
only make arrests if laws are broken.
I hope this response clears up any misunderstanding. I wish the
Schumachers
the best in their future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Van Keuren
Public Advocate
Office of Mayor Potter
Ok, they claim that they don't have to enfore federal law. I'm no law expert but it seems to me a FEDERAL law is also a NATIONAL law and must be enforced by those who represent the law when said laws are broken. I have learned that they must enfore these leaws but only when someone reports a violation of this awsome new law.
Then he says they are "greatly concerned any time a business decides to leave Portland, particularly one as long established as Schumacher's." This, my friends, is what we call a crock of shit. The city did NOTHING to protect the business. All I've heard was the protesters have the right blah, blah, blah...But what about the SCHUAMCHER'S RIGHTS?
Let me explain these rights...Matty has the right to protest, that is true, they have the right to say all the shit they want to and they have, and it hasn't all been about the fur industry either.
But there is also a long standing American right and TRADITION. That is the act of owning and running your own business. We used to call it the American Dream. This Dream was raped because Matty doesn't like fur and the city are run by...
Well, we may as well say it and get it in the open.
Tom Potter, You are a PUSSY.
Sam Adams: PUSSY.
All your dumbass who didn't do anything to protect a long established business: PUSSIES!
You are nothing more that scared little kittens who looked at the percieved majority of Matt Rossell's IDA and went crying home to your mamas.
I think if Gregg made any mistakes here it was that he isn't a PUSSY like you so-called city leaders are. He stood up for HIS rights, his right to own and operate a legal business in the United States of America.
He was doing what any normal American would do when his life, family and home are threatened: He stood up and told them to FUCK OFF.
Well, he couldn't say that exactly, but I can:
Hey, Matt: FUCK OFF!!!
Anyway, back to the letter, he continues about how noone can be arrested by calling someone names, ignoring the many reports of Matt and his dipshits following people to their cars or down the block screaming and yelling at them, that's not protected speech.
That is harrassment. And it is wrong.
Then he finishes...you know what, what he finishes with is meaningless. Doesn't matter what he feels because he's WRONG.
