As long as it's legal then you can't have Barney threatening to throw them in jail for doing it. And the total net worth of every person in Jackson Parish is probably less than the judgment.

So would the parish permit supersede my wish to tell the police that these people are trespassing on my property?

Deny the permit and they'd get sued for discrimination anyway.

I wonder how many vacuums were sold.

Who would buy a vacuum from a door to door salesmen in the 21st century? Door to door weed salesmen I could see. But I just don't understand how anyone could make a living selling vacuums like that.

Of course it is, which is dumb because those people were probably in suits and ties.

Yet those dumb redneck still probably think "just another n...."

Meanwhile, they're probably wearing crocs and a worn out Dale Jr shirt to Wal-Mart.
