Showing Original Post only (View all)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 youve 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 50s pinup girls and theyre willing to harass a local teens 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 1950s 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 entrepreneurs 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 shops 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.

Maybe they'll hire a few Saudis to help them run the town with sharia law?...

That is so sad...I believe the townfolk might be a little bit jealous and or envious.
