There was a phone call where they claim their son was threatened. Maybe it happened. Maybe it didn't. If it did, I don't condone it. They also say that there was some minor vandalism, including their mailbox being destroyed. Maybe supporters for the homosexual couple did it, maybe they didn't. We simply don't have enough information to know. It is within the realm of plausibility that this couple saw that their bakery was being spoken about negatively on Facebook and have, based on that, concluded that everything that has happened since is tied to that. Maybe it is. But we don't know that for certain. Maybe some local kids destroyed their mailbox, it happens. Maybe in their minds this is some vast conspiracy against them when reality it's just some stuff that happened of which previously they wouldn't have taken particular note but now it's the "Gay Mafia" begin out to "Oppress" them. It's hard to know how much of what they're talking about is based on reality and how much is based on paranoia. |

Actually, I think we should just make cake illegal for everyone. Let's criminalize all bakeries. Also, weddings and calling people naughty names on college campuses. Or off of campuses. Or writing pro-Trump messages in chalk. Or anti-Trump messages. Actually, we should probably just stop using chalk altogether. Also, public restrooms. Come to think of it, let's just stop peeing. Honestly, at this point, I think it would probably just be best if everyone simply stayed home 100 percent of the time and never, ever spoke or interacted with anyone else in public in any way. This should prevent everyone from being offended by anything anyone ever does. Edited by Two a.m., Apr 6 2016, 01:53 PM.

Assuming the phone call happened then that is not the work of random punks. The other stuff could be random but for it to coincide with this event is a bit suspicious if this kind of thing is not common in their area. |

I don't discount the possibility that it is a response to their wedding cake stand. That is entirely possible. The connection seems rather nebulous though. Certainly not enough to conclude that they are facing wide spread, systematic oppression, which kind of seems to be the objective of the article. |

The woman that posted the picture of her dog's defecation on Mr. Trump's Star on the Walk of Fame has received death threats aimed at her and calls to kill her dog. But you always ignore and refuse to condemn such threats. Apparently your sense of moral outrage has limits. |

That woman behaved like an idiot. This baker simply stood by his religious beliefs. |

If that woman has received death threat's then I hope the authorities can hunt down the culprits and prosecute them to the farthest extent of the law. |

No, I don't think it's an organized plot. Just wondering if certain opportunistic individuals might be scamming the controversy. Maybe folks doing a little shopping around until they find a shop that turns them down. Make a public stink, file a law suit, cash in. It's certainly not outside the realm of possibilities. |

Can't help noticing your lack of a problem with her receiving death threats or the call to kill her dog. Looks like you are okay with such calls for violence providing you agree with the side making them. And the woman simply posted the pic. Apparently her dog choose his target on his own. Finally, these claims of religious freedom are a scam. |

As they should in every case, regardless of what the threats are over and where they came from. Edited by Coast2coast, Apr 6 2016, 07:32 PM.

In which case those folks are scum and are actually working against the cause they claim. |

Dunno...they might be on the same level....equally destructive...

Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence. | |
