Wow. I just read all the details. What a bunch of Nazis! It is a wonder that anybody would open a business in Kent. People in this line of business and shoppers are both considered guilty before proven innocent. Everything you do has to have the Police Chief's blessing...sounds like Nazi Germany to me. They can't sell stuff for the first 20 days and they want I.D.'s of the buyers and sellers and ZEE PAYPERS BETTER BE IN ORDNUNG! Sieg-Freaking-Heil ! Now I see why they say they need a new Police Building; they have lots more personal freedoms to take away and unnecessary information to store somewhere. I guess they plan on needing lots more jail and torture rooms, too. I wonder what the new garage sale laws are like? That is essentially selling second-hand stuff, too. Your kid probably needs that 200 dollar license for a Kool-Aid stand, as well as certification from the S.S. Police...

Jason, you've clearly never been robbed and then had the pleasure of buying back family heirlooms from the local pawn shop.
