It's official. Portland has an overwhelming amount of stupidity in it. From the Mayor who feels the rights of illegal aliens are worth more than those who are Americans, and even wants to go so far as rename a street Cesar Chevas (yeah, I misspelled it, like I give a damn) Blvd to kiss up to them, to a city commissioner named Randy Leonard whose 'answer' to the graffiti problem is to restrict the sales of spray paint within the city, because, you know, you can only buy spray paint in Portland...wonder how much that bit of stupidity cost us...and now this:
Gregg Schumacher has to pay the legal fees of the 'people' who had a hand in destroying his business. That's right, according to some 'judge,' who apparently has no concern for the first amendment rights of business owners, Gregg VIOLATED the protesters rights when he tried to defend and maintain his business. This 'judge' actually said the lawsuit was "an extraordinary abuse of the litigation process" and threatened free-speech rights!
So, these assholes who protested this LEGAL business had their free-speech rights violated?! What about Gregg's right to have and maintain a legal business? That's what the American Dream is all about, folks. That is, unless you live in Portland and you happen to piss of a group of smelly, uneducated jackass animal rights freaks. The YOU are repressing THEIR rights to: block your business, harass and terrorise your employees and customers, lie about what you do within your store, write slanderous and nasty lies and words on the sidewalk in front of your business, walk around almost completely naked (this was a really nasty things to see. Kevin/Bluejay walking around in nothing bust speedos, looked like someone shoved 2oolbs. of cow crap in a 10lb. bag and what about those saggy breasted broads? People with faces and bodies like that is the reason alcohol was invented. Because darkness wasn't enough to hide their nasty smelly bodies and personalities)
Judge Michael Mosman is a moron. He obviously doesn't believe in Gregg's right to have a business without being treated like a criminal. Gregg deserves some sort of compensation for his troubles. Kevins, Matt Rossell, PETA and the IDA need to own up to their vile ways. Hell, there is plenty of video proof, and on this blog plenty of picture proof, of their obvious violation of GREGG'S free-speech rights!
I wonder what a fur coat costs these days? This was just enough to make me actually want one. And I'm going to wear it loud and proud, don't like it? TOUGH! It's MY free speech right and MY absolute right to wear WHAT I want WHEN I want and if you so-called animal loving loonies don't like it: DEAL WITH IT.

Wow, where to start with your terrible, stupid post?
1. 1st Ammendment rights of business owners/ Greg Schumacher - last I checked, those rights are the freedom of religion, press, assembly, and speech. Please point out to me where Mr Schumacher or any other business owner has been deprived of those rights.
2. Protester's rights vs Business owner's rights - the interplay between these 2 sets of rights has been thoroughly litigated in the context of abortion clinic protests. I am confident that no one was actually blocked from entering the store - protestors cannot do that, and there were police on hand to ensure it did not happen. Harassing, lying, slander - well everything you need to know about this you learned in kindergarten: sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me. And the law of free speech pretty much agrees. Now, actual threats or intimidation/coercion (not to mention vandalism) is another story but look closely at the quotes from the Judge - the Schumachers may have had a case against some of the protestors, but not the ones he actually sued. The ones he sued proved they had done nothing wrong, that's why the lawsuit was dismissed. And, the Judge seems to conclude, Schumacher knew they'd done nothing wrong even as he sued them. But he sued them anyway, to pull them into court, to force them to spend money on attorneys, to shut them up. Well, that's not what the courts are for, so Judge Mosman let Schumacher have it. Also, pretty sure the sidewalk belongs to the city/all of us, not your buddy Gregg.
3. You disagree with the Judge, therefore, he is stupid. Now come on, do you really think you've got more on the ball than a federal judge? And Schumacher deserves some kind of compensation? Go look at his website - the protests are over, the store has been closed for months, and yet there is nothing on his site regarding the actual business of selling furs. He's more interested in playing the victim then adapting his business and moving on.
4. "I'm gonna go buy a fur." Sure you are, big shot. Here's the REAL reason why the business failed - no one wears fur anymore. Not folks like my Mom, who has 3 fur coats in the basement closet and hasn't worn any of them in years. And not folks like you who might find an idealogical statement in it. That's why you never did the entire time this saga was going on. If you really supported Schumacher's, you'd have gone down and bought something. But you didn't. You'd rather complain about what someone else is doing, istead of going out and doing something about it. As they say, you're all hat and no cattle.
