re: Hurwitz Mintz announces its closing

Posted by Rabby on 10/2/26 at 12:13 pm to
My family had several pieces of furniture from Hurwitz-Mintz, but also some from Mintz and Mintz. I guess the latter was the predecessor? Or was there another part of the Mintz family in the same business?

I would agree, but courts have ruled that your right to not feel offended does not supercede the free speech rights of the person speaking the offensive words.
OTOH, the loudspeaker likely presents a significant problem for the speaker. That issue likely tilts the case into a position of strength for the prosecution. Then the intentionally aggravating content would be considered.
My crystal ball shows that the defendant has the weaker position.

Mostly true, but some beer is better from a chilled pilsner glass.
The shape of the container sends the bubbles in different orientations which greatly affects the smell which affects the taste.

No.

I knew several of them and went there. They called us "Yanks" and a few other things, but not that.

Our marriage was one of the best decisions of my life.
Sharing a long maturing relationship after surviving hard times and enjoying good ones is not possible in any other manner.
We both invested heavily in our relationship - total commitment and many people do not hold to that view.
Therefore your marriage may vary...
Choose what is best for you.

In my old job, we were required to spell out the words on the first use and follow with the abbreviation in parentheses. Then we could use the abbreviation. I always thought that this was a pretty reasonable process.

re: Anyone ever been arrested…what for?

I was briefly picked up for obstructing the sidewalk while walking across the street...
NOPD was just harassing the local entertainment venues on Maple Street.
Was let go in a few minutes, so was an illegal detention rather than an arrest.
Would be a great marketing ploy to sell these t shirts after the controversy generates a lot of interest.
