Arrested for Selling 10 Cents Lemonade at the Washington Capital

Adam vs. the Man
August 22, 2011

In response to a recent wave of lemonade stand shut downs and harassment of children over such petty regulations as are used to shut them down, several activist gathered at the west lawn of the capitol in Washington, DC to sell lemonade and were arrested. While the officers were technically on solid “legal” ground in shutting down the stand, they behaved inappropriately by any standard numerous times, using intimidation tactics on protestors and observers, and harassing members of the professional media.

The willingness with which children and tourists participated by purchasing lemonade in disobedience of the police instructions is an indicator of how little respect the general public has for government in general, and specifically police when enforcing unjust laws. Gives me hope for America. For those who are complaining about the public property not being used for its intended purpose, part of the point of this that the government should not be using public property for the glorification of government when it could be better used to serve public interests. Excessive vending at the capitol (or without a permit in any public space) would surely be preferable to 22.5% unemployment. Free the economy!

  1. This is the first comment I’ve made in a while — busy getting the word out. But this calls for a NATIONAL LEMONADE DAY in all parks and all cities. THere is no other more appropriate, non-violent response. Let’s go

  2. ATTN ALEX JONES…I understand that you must be neutral, and most of us dont wana force our religion on anyone. God doesn’t even do that, but gives us free will. However, as someone who loves the Lord, I wonder why you continue to play the satanic buffer music. Do you not realize that rock music along with most of the others is a tool in the arsenal of the very same people we are fighting. With all of your learning do you not know who aleister crowley is, and that the whole music, and drug culture was caefully, and craftily planned out to demoralize this once great nation. They knew the only way these things they now do to us would be possible, would be to destroy our relationship with God. Then would have free reign to destroy our nation, which they do, and they are. I AM NOT JUDGING, and I realize it is possible it never crossed your mind, and that we all different gifts and have different things revealed to us but I am telling you that music is straight outta the pits of hell…God Bless

  3. How stupid. Guess they have to set an example – PIGS

  4. Technically they could of gave the lemonade away but asked for 10 cent donations or made the donations mandatory but the term donations does not mean your selling anything. the system is full of loops, use the multiple meaning words they created to control us against them.. We the people, for the people, by the people.

  5. They were harmless, no threat to the public. The cops were doing what they were told to do, exception being that one cop that continuously the camera. Either change the law or hold the politicians to the same standards. Step two, come back with hundreds of protestors and sell the lemonade. Dance too, need to dance.

  6. Can’t wait for my kid to be sentenced as a criminal!!! Rabbit Bob is right!!!PHK’n whores!!! Well America, don’t you just wait to beat your kids??? DC is great folks!!! It’s all about the love folks, ask Bob!!! He’s quite the Knowledge Machine!!! Maybe cuttin’ clits will be cool!!!

  7. Hope and change and fascism. People that still support Obama are mentally decrepit slugs.

    Imagine a Lemonade March with thousands selling lemonade to the millions assembled. Let the arrests begin as the security is swallowed by the crowd and spat out like a used piece of gum.

  8. After watching the youtube videos by Uri Bezmenov I see now we are in the “normalization process” for America. This is the final phase of a communist takeover of a country where the cops and military start roughing up the population to show the people they are now screwed and not to dissident or be put in gulag (jail/prison), which as anyone knows whose been in American jail is a living hell. So the commies are normalizing slavery for White America. (The Mexicans and Blacks are hardly targeted in comparison to Whites, and I don’t see how they can be won over as an enslaved White population is hardly something they’ll fret over).

    If we don’t start sharing Bezmenov’s videos, the people won’t even know what’s wrong with their thinking. It’s pointless to focus on the strong-arm of the system itself, as it is ultimately unbeatable by a scattered group of ticked off citizens. We have to focus on informing people of the stages of communist take over that Bezmenov outlines. If they know what’s been done to them they will become immune to it, and revolt with sheer force of will.

  9. Good job lemonade crusaders. Keep up the good work. These Nazis must really be afraid of the power of the people, if they arrest you for selling lemonade. The thing that these idiots need to understand is that they are out numbered 10,000 to 1. I don’t know what it is yet but there will be that straw that breaks the camels back.

  10. I remember when I went to Washington D.C. in 1976. There was a guy dressed up like Uncle Sam giving out fliers for free beer. Nobody bothered him.

    That was then. this is now.

    Personally, I think a cheerful seen would be everyone of those capitol pigs corpses lying there with their heads on long sharp pikes where that lemonade stand was….Especially that skank that attacked the camera.

    I think it would be BEAUTIFUL. I expect it will cost me my life for saying as much but it is true. I HATE tyranny this much. And I know it is only a matter of time until those black-dressed punks come to every home in America and kill as many people as they can.

    • The United States government has lost all respect for civil liberties and human rights. Children are being publicly molested by TSA agents. If we had an American version of the Nuremberg trials for leaders in the United States, they would do exactly as the Germans did in WW2. They would say, we were just following orders. I would like video tapes of the Nuremberg trials shown to American officials. What’s worse, they may never be prosecuted publicly, just sent straight to hell.

      When children suffer for being kids, that’s when people should start to fear god. It seems many have their own gods in their head. If you are hurting any living thing and deferring to god, you are not in compliance. People should fear personal accountability and personal responsibility for their actions. Federal, State and Local judges and law enforcement are not above judgment.

      The United States says all the right things publicly, but actions speak louder than words. I am ashamed to be an American when I read stories like this. We are in a war of the worlds. The final showdown of god vs. the devil. Far too many people think they god.

      The United States is treating its citizens just like they treat men and women in prison. Prison abuse in America contradicts everything America says to the international community regarding human rights. It’s time to start caring using your minds for everyone around the world.

  11. Nothing surprises me anymore. I found it amusing that people bought the lemonade directly in defiance to the police. The cops acted like they were selling crack! The female officer is a DISGRACE to the women’s lib movement. I’m glad she was set free from the horrific bondage of being a wife and mother to pursue her career as a Nazi! She smacked that dude’s camera 3or 4 times telling him to get out of her face when she approached him every time IMO to provoke violence. Anyone who gets a rise over busting up an illegal lemonade ring……….. Well words fail me here. I found this infuriating and inspiring all in the same emotion. People are aware of the bs that goes on. People realize that tax money is WASTED. Shame on those police officers for not using their own minds and going INSIDE the Whitehouse and down the street to the House and Congress and bust some REAL criminals!!!!

    • She was probably on her knees in the projects and was pissed off because she had to
      leave and go bust a lemonaide stand. Her face looked like she had aids also. She had
      that Linda Blair look going on.

    • The ‘womens lib’ movement is a disgrace to women. Funded by the Rockefellars to break apart the family, tax the other half of the population and induct the children to communism through the ‘school’system. Even Gloria Steinman admitted to being coached by the CIA.

      • Amen.

  12. Here is the problem, had they been giving it away for free it would have been legal. The reason it is illegal is because if someone else wanted to sell something entirely different they could. If a vendor came up there to sell sex toys for example. However, I am not saying this is right just that these cops were enforcing the law. The woman cop should be prosecuted for harassment of the individual with the camera.

    • I’ll bet that skanky Ho will be first in line to try to take guns from people. I hope
      that bitch tries to take mine.

    • This situation was set up to point out the absurdity of said law to be enforced. Unjust laws should never be enforced, let alone respected by the folks.

      • At what point are the police going to live in fear for the innocent citizens who they have tortured, beaten, killed, tazed and intimidated for so long? When are they going to live in fear when their government abandons them? Law enforcement is a disgrace to the United States. They may as well say they work for the SS and wear a swastika arm band.

        The action of the police is indefensible.

      • I understand that, however, instead of getting arrested for stupid shit, they could have just petitioned the law.
