This already happened in LA. Same complaints by the neighbors and they won. Now they don’t sell food at the temple on weekends. In Berkeley, it’s only ONE day of the week. And if you watch til the end of the vid, they had to compromise so much already. I can’t believe the white lady compared Thai food to McDonald’s and somehow Thai food has hypnotic abilities. This shit pisses me off, i ain’t got eloquent words for this crap. Fuckin wolves in sheep clothing. At least with Republicans/conservatives, they usually tell you what they’re thinking unlike so-called liberals. Check this bullshit

On September 27th, one of the petioners walked into the Thai Temple and proceeded to ask what the purpose of the volunteers and Buddhists were on Saturday; ‘Are you here to buy food? You can only buy food on Sunday’s’ and proceeded to take pictures inside and around the Temple. The monks and onsite volunteers, due to their lack of English skills, did not attempt to stop the petitioner. The petitioner went so far as to call the police on the Thai Temple regarding the incident.

FYI: Therevada Buddhists Monaists/Monks are not allowed to cook for themselves, relying on the community and volunteers for food. The petitioner ignorantly determined any food made on Temple grounds is for sale and not for Religious reasons. After the incident, volunteers and Monks were informed of their basic rights and the posting of ‘Private’ and “No Trespassing” signs throughout the area.

Let my people be!
