Current Events > girl arrested for selling lemonade

(+) Yeah! (+)

A girl has received outpourings of sympathy after she was arrested by police for setting up a lemonade stand.

Sean Spicers daughter was selling cups of lemonade at the end of her street in Alexandria, Virginia.

But within 30 minutes of setting up, four Alexandria police officers approached her table and read from a legal letter informing her that, because the operation did not have a business permit, it would shutdown and that she would be placed under arrest.

Mr Spicer, the girls father, is a former White House Press Secretary under the Trump Administration.

In his column in the newspaper about the fine, he compared the way children are brought up now with his own childhood, when his business instincts were allowed to thrive.

When I was growing up, my brother and I were able to wander miles from home without adult supervision.

We were encouraged to sell things to raise money for clubs we were part of, by selling biscuits, we learned about maths, communication and basic business skills," Spicer wrote.

Alexandria police has since apologized for the incident, saying: We expect our law enforcement officers to show common sense, and to use their powers sensibly. This clearly did not happen. The arrest will be voided immediately and we have contacted Mr Spicer and his daughter to apologize.

Is this supposed to be some dumb trap where later you reveal Sean Spicer isn't actually the father and then somehow you've owned the libs?

I like this new concept of being able to do illegal things, as long as you meet certain criteria (being foreign or a child)
