Let's say you work for a Jehovah's Witness. They don't believe in blood transfusions, so they are against insurance coverage for it. Now you or a loved one needs a transfusion. You absolutely have the right to it, you just need to pay for it yourself. Guessing that could get a little pricey.
How about a Scientologist? They don't believe in psychiatric treatment. So your insurance plan doesn't cover it. Now you or a loved one is severely depressed. You absolutely have the right to see a psychiatrist, get a prescription for an anti-depressant, you just need to pay for it yourself. Guessing that one could get a little pricey, too, especially if you need continued counseling.
How about me? I own a business, it's against my religion to provide Viagra for men over 50, cause their wives are sick of sex anyway, in my opinion. Now you have erectile dysfunction. You absolutely have the right to get Viagra, you just need to pay for it yourself. That one might not be too pricey, but by now you should get my point.
I have fostered for West Side Cats, which means I have been in all areas of the shelter. I see nothing but good things (seriously, my cats would kill for an area like the cat area upstairs there).
Til this morning, I also supported New Lease, but after reading this thread, the owner seems more than a bit unbalanced, so I will take my support elsewhere. Oh, and beware should you decide to shop at their thrift store, usually a dog will be wandering around, barking and sniffing you in inappropriate places while volunteers yell at it to behave. But, hey, maybe some people dig that.

Any problem with any of these scenarios?

2 robbed on MIdlothian Boulevard
Love whitesabbath's idea-would be interesting to see what happened, and maybe some of these thugs would think twice.

INNER-CITY GUN VIOLENCE
His Facebook page (correct link is in other comment thread) has me shaking my head. Typical thug who apparently also has a baby on the way. Nice.
