Another sign of the looming Apocalypse: NYC Parks Department Tickets 10 year old girl for lemonade stand in Riverside Drive Park

The folks at Fox News do not need ANOTHER reason to be loud and incredulous, but by God have they found it. From the Gothamist:


Richard Lee describes, “They approached us nonchalantly but then surrounded us. They were very hostile as soon as they approached, saying ‘Where’s your permit? Where’s your permit?’ ” The Parks party poopers issued a summons that carries a fine of up to $200. Benepe (the Parks Department Commish) later waved off the ticket, saying the officers used poor judgments and would be retrained (read: cattle-prodded repeatedly). He tried to save face by telling the paper, “We’re going to make lemonade out of lemons…I look forward to buying lemonade from her if I pass by.” But if you think the commish can out-adorable young Clementine, guess again. The “soccer enthusiast” says she was “really nervous” when she and her dad were cornered and added, “It was such a hot day I figured people would want a cold drink.”

While the citrus-gestapo is at it, why not a Trademark Infringement Lawsuit on Clementine’s first name.
