Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't know the details on the rejection of Chic-fil-a. Nobody is proposing to reject permits on grounds of them engaging in repulsive free speech behavior are they? Cause that really would not be on. On the other hand if Chic-fil=a engages in discrimination illegal in the cities or states that are rejecting them, that would a basis for refusing permits.

Of course boycotts are perfectly kosher as a reply to repulsive but legal behavior. But not refusal to grant permits the entities are legally entitled to.

Typo, I think a Chicago alderman can stop something if they don't like your shoes. Wal-Mart has been kept mostly out of the city in much the same way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm going to say ditto the Mayor of Boston.

I thought Walmart was stopped in both cases because they wanted all sorts of exemptions and exceptions to laws other businesses complied with. No special treatment, no Walmart. So they were stopped simply by requiring them to obey the same rules as everybody else.
