Virginia Town That Still Debates Witchcraft Wants to Drive Out Teen Girl’s Donut Shop [View all]

http://aattp.org/virginia-town-that-still-debates-witchcraft-wants-to-drive-out-teen-girls-donut-shop/

If you’ve ever wondered what the 17th century is like, just take a trip to Front Royal, Virginia. The town has recently been the battleground for the timeless battle between Christians and witches, warlocks, fortune tellers, and “gypsies.” The town, which has been embroiled in a fight over the repeal of a ban on mystic practitioners, is fighting the good fight on another front: scantily clad 50’s pinup girls — and they’re willing to harass a local teen’s business to show that they mean business!

The shop is decorated in bright pinks and reds with posters of Marilyn Monroe, Betty Page, and other popular 1950’s pinups. Aside from that, there is nothing naughty about the shop — besides the calorie count....

To many, 17-year-old Tiana Ramos would be considered inspirational. Ever since the teenager opened Naughty Girls Donut Shop, she has faced harassment from conservative groups in the town. Natalie Ramos, the young entrepreneur’s mother said that her daughter has faced harassment on numerous fronts — from phony complaints on Yelp, to someone actually throwing garbage at the store.

Within a week of the shop’s opening, Natalie Ramos was standing outside when someone drove by and threw garbage at the door — because apparently, conservatives are children. “They literally threw trash at the door and said, ‘Naughty Girls burn in hell,'” she said. “I started bawling, right there.”
