I’ve been there many times, it’s a great restaurant and a great community member in a tiny rural spot about 40 miles outside the beltway. The problem is absolutely the neighbors, they sound absolutely awful. They moved in next to a restaurant, they knew what they were doing.
This was really sad to read :(
That last paragraph kinda crushed me.
Welp, ICS financial is fucked. This is the guy on Jan. 6th too.
He’s also a convicted felon drug dealer: https://brokercheck.finra.org/individual/summary/3219011

That was a rough read. It’s so hard not to project these smaller-scale issues onto our larger political climate. I wonder how this whole situation would have shaken out if it had just been two businesses and noise/odor complaints, without hate and political tension to fuel things.
It’s hard to know from a single article, but it sure seems like the tensions here are motivated by a serious (and unfounded) persecution complex on the part of the Washers. Either that or some very poorly-masked bigotry. It’s hard not to view them as the aggressors in this situation, and my heart goes out to the Front Porch folks (and the whole town).
I wish we could walk back the increasing tensions in our country. It’s hard to keep perspective.
Poorly masked is a great way to describe it since these people are anti-maskers.
I used to live out that way and the restaurant has been a cornerstone of the small Plains community for decades, the neighbors absolutely knew what they were getting into when they moved nextdoor. Nothing about the neighbors cause comes off sympathetic.

Huh, that sounds like every single evangelical I’ve ever heard speak.
It’s a core tenet of conservatism. Conservatives inherently believe they are being attacked and victimized by society not holding to all of their personal beliefs. It’s a super easy fit for evangelicals to slide in there and claim persecution.
Religion poisons everything
Oh look, more “Christians” that aren’t really.
don’t move the goalposts for them. if they’re not disowned by other Christians, it means this shit falls within the purview of Christianity.
There are Christians who oppose it including the Vatican itself, but Christianity is a Religion group from the protestants to the Catholics to the sevrell orthodoxies which all hold either Pro or negative stances to it. On top to it, the two biggest Christan churches work vary Independently in each country.
Also saying it’s their Christan belief is a bullshit excuse to be bigot’s.
They aren’t? Seem pretty representative to me.
I don’t know about that, they sound pretty Christian to me.
