Uniformed Police Officer Kicked Out of Chuck E Cheese Because of Their No Gun Policy

A uniformed Bowling Green Police Officer was booted from a local Chuck E Cheese franchise because the employees are, well, ignorant.

In Kentucky, state law allowed businesses to post “No Firearms” signs on their doors and windows, but when the Bowling Green location of Chuck E. Cheese’s would’t allow a police officer to carry her firearm in their store, people were outraged.

“I was upset, I was shocked for that officer and also for all the patrons there because you know if you have an obvious police officer and they’re wearing police clothing, then I don’t understand what the problem would be having someone like that with the training and experience of a police officer into an establishment,” said Edmonson County Sheriff Shane Doyle.

But Chuck E. Cheese’s national headquarters said the entire situation was a misunderstanding.

“Our firearms policy does not apply to officers in uniform. We do have a firearms policy for civilians and off duty non-uniformed officers, but officers in uniform are always welcome to bring in their firearms,” said Chuck E. Cheese’s headquarters Public Relations Chair Alexis Lynn.

The comments to the article seem split between being outraged that the store’s on-duty staff and manager were ignorant of both state law and the chain’s own policies, and regular folks who are outraged that the chain bans citizens from providing for their own self-defense.

Chuck E Cheese locations have been the scene of everything from attempted assassinations to assaults to a mass murder, attempted rapes, and massive brawls.

Clearly, the chain’s policy of denying citizens the right to self-defense inside their establishments isn’t working."

EPA Causes Second Spill Disaster at Old Georgia Cotton Mill – Lead Levels 20,000 TIMES Above Normal

Still reeling from a disaster it created at a Colorado gold mine, the EPA has so far avoided criticism for a similar toxic waste spill in Georgia.

In Greensboro, EPA-funded contractors grading a toxic 19th-century cotton mill site struck a water main, sending the deadly sediment into a nearby creek. Though that accident took place five months ago, the hazard continues as heavy storms — one hit the area Tuesday — wash more soil into the creek.

The sediment flows carry dangerous mercury, lead, arsenic and chromium downstream to Lake Oconee and then to the Oconee River — home to many federally and state protected species."

Another EPA disaster, this time in rural Georgia - Watchdog.org

Just isolated examples, right?

There are going to be accidents, because the EPA are trying to clean up all the messes that should have been cleaned up by the companies themselves.

What's your solution, leave it and let it slowly seep into the soil?

If you honestly can't see what's wrong with that then that's just a bit sad.

Well, I'd certainly draw the line at "Mom"

Here's the same kind of thing from the sororities at ODU, but precious angels get a pass

Yeah like I said, sad.

Clearly you don't have a daughter (not that you'd really need to in order to see why that's wrong).

Yep I did. That kind of false moral equivalence just makes it even more sad.

When I say "sad" I was referring to your apparent inability to see anything wrong in that kind of behaviour.

Nice try Ant but we ain't going there.

Familiar with the Scorpion & the Frog tale?

Here's the news story about the suspended fraternity from Fox news with a video. Seems these guys hung out the sign on the day when parents were bringing in their daughters to the campus the first day. The parents and school were rightly upset.

The announcer in the video suggests leaving the fathers of the freshmen girls alone with the fraternity boys for a while.

Perhaps this story is more suited for the Stupid Things Frat Boys Do thread.

Fair enough, I've asked myself if I really care that you're a misogynist - on top of being a racist - who sees nothing wrong with that sort of thing and the answer is: no, I don't.

Reminds me of an anecdote though...

During first year of university some friends of mine got involved in an altercation with a girl on campus. I can't remember what (or who) instigated it or what was said save for there was some verbal abuse and some of it sexual in nature - something along the lines of calling this girl a 'slut' or similar.

My friends were hauled in front of the Proctor and were in quite some trouble and were made to write an apology letter to the girl. They spent hours on it, writing in some coded further abuse so that each first letter of the word in the left hand margin of the page spelt something else out (also can't recall now what it was).

I remember thinking that it was quite amusing at the time. But then I was 18 years old, immature, and didn't know any better.

Off-campus expression of the boy's 1st Amendment Rights should not be stifiled. The signs they posted are protected under 'free speech'

Walk into a crowded theater shout "Fire!" and then claim it was free speech, Booners.

Why is it that bigots/racists/misogynists think that their right to free speech trumps everyone else's right to dignity and being treated with respect and as an equal.

Yeah, because sexual harassment is hilarious.

I'm guessing you don't have a daughter, Booners? If you did would you be perfectly happy to have her objectified like that?

A reflection of the twisted society they serve and another example of the futility of current gun laws.

... *Crickets*

Yep, thought as much. And of course you don't actually have to even have a daughter to see that what they did was wrong. Just some common decency and sense.
