Some idiot thinks it would be a good idea to remake Jaws. Or as they call it now, a reboot.

Why are people worried about their property values? It only matters three times. When you buy the place, when you sell the place and when you have it appraised for taxes. It would seem to me that you would want the value low until you actually sell it. My neighbor is all ticked off because another neighbor has a pile of junk in his yard. She complains that that will bring down property values. She is about 50 and plans to retire here, so they won't be selling the house for 25-30 years at least. By that time our neighbor will be dead and buried and his pile of junk will be gone. So why worry about it?

Anti-abortion protesters force Portland’s rock ’n’ roll deli to close

No legitimate business owner should have to put up with this sort of stuff (no matter who's doing the protesting, or why). There's got to be a way to protect everyone's rights. Including the rights of the deli owner. Where are the cops in all of this? Personally, I wouldn't want to have to transit through demonstrators to have my lunch. Extreme anti-abortion demonstrators are among the worst, and have been responsible for numerous murders over the years. I've never quite been able to grasp the logic of "killing for life."

My experience has been that generally, people who begin the justification of their behavior by saying "I gotta right," are a*sholes.

The police won't stop them because they aren't breaking the law. The same law that says those Westboro idiots can picket funerals says these clowns can picket outside a Planned Parenthood clinic. We have protesters in our town, even though the PP here is not even equipped to perform abortions and is only a health clinic. The city of Portland has a long history of protests so the city council is nervous about doing anything that will infringe on that right in any way. I don't think they will even consider a new law, much less vote for one.

And why does he have to shut down his business again?

Because people kinda lose their appetite when confronted with those pictures. Business is way down. Also, the owner says he is tired of yelling at the protesters to go somewhere else so they aren't interfering with his customers.

I think you're closer to the mark with pusillanimous city councilmen. Surely there are ordinances about, say, blocking a public thoroughfare. If there was a will, there would be a way. Not to shut down the protests, but to establish some common sense boundaries. Common sense rarely applies to people who are "on a mission from God." I thought the same thing during the Vietnam War when anti-war types, "pregnant with celestial fire", took over campuses, tore up offices and burned down building. All justified by their First Amendment rights. They never considered the First Amendment rights of anyone else. That's the fascist MO.

But, he felt the need to make it worse by giving free food to people who carried pro-abortion signs...

I would normally agree with what OP said, but since he chose to insert himself into the situation and escalate it, I don't feel sorry for him at all.
 
Re: Nice Planet 5: Insert Catchy Title Here

MNS is on to something. His business suffered because he was as big of an a-hole as the Pro-Life protestors. And let's take a serious look at where his business suffered: Friday and Saturday breakfast. Not exactly the prime money-making times for a sandwich shop. This isn't his only business, this one was suffering, and a group that he is more passionately against than anyone in this thread provided a convenient scapegoat. And a newspaper owned by the family of our left-wing Congresswoman is clearly going to color this story to best suit their candidate and their agendas. As is their right since the microphone is theirs.
