A landscaper in Florida says he was denied service at an area nursery because of the flag he had on his truck.
Junior Celestino, a longtime landscaper in Manatee County, said an altercation recently took place at the Mariposa Nursery and Garden Center when he was trying to make a purchase.
Unfortunately, it isn't just the immigrants that need to be schooled on the idea of rights. Your right to display a flag of another country does not Trump the right of anyone else to refuse to do business with you.
ReplyDeleteI got no problem with people flying flags to display their loyalties. As a matter of fact, I think it should be required by law. Makes things easier when in a SHTF situation. Eod1sg Ret
ReplyDeleteThis goes along with the "NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO SERVICE" signs in restaurants. Bars cut off customers when they appear to have had too much to drink. A business is not required to serve anyone.
ReplyDeleteAs the owner of a busness I ought to have the right to serve who I want to. I took the risk, I invested, I pay the taxes and I woked the long hours building my business. I don't need some politician telling who I can or can't hire or who I can and can't serve.
ReplyDeleteThat right hasn't been there for decades, at least since the civil rights movement of the 60's. "No dogs or Irish" signs are now illegal.
DeleteThat should change. Freedom of association implies freedom to refuse to associate, and we don't have that in the US anymore and haven't had for almost a hundred years now. Hopefully that'll change soon. But I'm not holding my breath.

ReplyDeleteFlies Mexican flag, doesn't want to live in Mexico, demands Americans do business with him.
ReplyDeleteGo home, not here, Chicano. Take your machismo culture with you...it's worked so well for Mehico.

I live not far from this place. There’s more to this. They’re protesting everywhere and blocking roadways. Now suddenly, after ten years doing business with the nursery, there’s a problem? It’s you, Junior!

Good for the business owner.
ReplyDeleteIt is about time we had people choose....choose the country you are loyal to. CHoose the people you are loyal to.
When you choose race over citizenship, it should hurt.
If you like Mexico so much, go back and "Enrich" that country. We don't need you.
