So you think it should be okay for grown men to hit 15yo kids?

Unless you're a couple of queens who want to get hitched. Then you can't be refused service for any reason.

LOL at thinking the spokane police are liberal.

And I believe its long held legal principle that businesses can ban individuals for reasons, assuming they aren't related to civil rights.

Age of consent is 16 in Washington, so legally he did nothing wrong if all he did was flirt with her or ask her out.

Now that being said Starbucks is a private corporation who should be allowed to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Yes, that includes refusing service for being gay, black, female, etc. Public accommodation laws have outlived their usefulness.

quote:

KREM reports Werner also referenced his website dedicated to “age gap love” when defending himself.

Werner does, in fact, have an entire website dedicated to why men should date young women (specifically those born in the 1990s).

Werner, who calls himself a “scientist without a degree in science,” defends his preference for younger women by saying having children with men over 35 will give the children “stronger DNA.”

Throughout his Facebook pages, Werner accuses people who don't accept his “age gap love” theory of being “hateful” and “ageist and against truth like Republicans.”


Yea, let's hold a rally for this guy.

The dude is obviously a creeper and I seriously doubt his side of the story where he acts completely innocent of being a pervy frick that was weirding out the staff.

Calling people who disagree with them hateful while labeling them an -ist in the same breath. Making what gets you off your core identity and the most sacred unassailable thing in life. I wonder what type of progressive ideolgy fosters this kind of thinking. Could it be the ugly rhetoric from the right or perhaps climate change?

Some 16 year old females look 23.

Has anyone asked Zach about this?

This is the guy, I wouldn't want him around my business either. Also says he is homeless.

Can he not just claim he is a transgender lesbian and he was asking her how she would like Starbucks to decorate their engagement muffin? Seems like that would tick enough boxes.

Pick your battles.

Guy is a creep, gets called out for being a creep, actively promotes being a creep.

Businesses are allowed to protect their employees.

This does not equate to a bakery that bakes wedding cakes refusing service to people for being gay. Or a restaurant that refuses to serve people based on skin color.

Any business should be able to discriminate for any reason.

That should be applied evenly, no matter how arbitrary the reason.

If that isn't the case 100% of the time, I oppose instances such as this.

You used to see signs posted to that effect openly at businesses. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE.

That was tacitly racist and was made illegal 50 years ago.
