occasionally a owner has a strange wish-- its not a death wish-- its just an overwhelming desire to be sued.
The man probably has already been sued. There are groups and individual handicap people out there who go around in their wheelchairs, instigate problems, look for the most minor handicap accessible violations, or even create new ones and then sue. There was a handicap guy in Seattle who even went as far as to obtain a law degree. After he got it, he spent his life going from business to business doing the above. He had filed over 52 lawsuits in 6 months and his intention was to force the business to settle with him. Last I heard he had pocketed some $14,000,000.
I'm not defeding this business owner, but given most of the responses here thus far, most people are clueless of what kinda of crap business owners face these days. From mounds of local and federal red tape, book keeping, taxes, liability issues (most fabricated) and so on, it's amazing that anyone even tries anymore.
It's his right to be as nasty and backwards as he wants in his own home. But when he chose to open a business serving the public, he agreed to follow the laws pertaining to discrimination. And thank G-d for that.
He has the right to refuse service. Unfortunately, he can't discriminate in hiring, but he can close his doors to customers any time he wants.
Freedom of speech, doncha know. But the left can bash Christians all they want and get away with it.
Ok, Ron Paul. Thank god we really don't have this libertarian fundamentalist concept of private property rights. It's not the man's home.
Private property rights were one of the founding principles of this nation until progressives with their special interests started to destroy them. If he truly owns the business why isn't it considered the same as his home?
