RE: Free Hugs are Illegal without a Permit! Hyper-Controlled Society and Order Followers
i guess im the only one who's with the cops on this one.
Most people are just trying to get through their day, and they don't want their commute to be any more difficult or congested than it has to be.
Maybe this one guy wasn't offering hugs during a busy time, and maybe it was just him. But rush hour, with the one guy blocking throughway with hugs, and the other guy playing his gituar or drums for tips, and the other guy who wants to tell you about jesus, or krishna or whatever, and the other guy who wants to sell you something, its annoying.
the problem isnt the hug itself, its the guy standing around being in the way offering it.
that said, he didn't break the law that you quoted.
the law, as written, governs services or goods "offered for sale or lease." There has to be an actual commerical exchange or at least the potential for one.
