What's the deal with lemonade stands? That might as well of been what Jerry Seinfeld's angry East Hamptons neighbor asked police on Aug. 18 when they called to complain about the illegally parked cars surrounding the comedian's homemade beverage outpost. The 61-year-old Seinfeld, along with his wife and three sons, saw their lemonade stand shut down by police officers after the complaint was called in, according to East Hamptons news site 27east. The town does not allow any form of peddling on its property. The famous family hosted the lemonade stand to raise money for Baby Buggy, a national non-profit company started by Seinfeld's wife Jessica in 2001 that delivers items to families in need. The TV star seemed to be in good spirits after the incident, as he posed for a photo with his children outside the defunct operation, each of them holding their hands on their heads. A police officer can be seen standing outside of his car in the picture, which Jessica Seinfeld shared on Instagram. "Lemonade dreams crushed by local neighbor but not before raising lots of money for @loverecycled," she captioned the photo. "Thanks to all of our customers and big tippers!" she added. Jerry Seinfeld has dealt with meddling neighbors before, at least on television. His comical run-ins with hall mate Newman were well-documented throughout the bulk of the "Seinfeld" series.

Seinfeld has been ranting lately about political correctness on campus. What he has yet to realize is that the problem is progressive liberalism . The nonsense of over-regulation,big government nannystate ,taken to the absurd ,is another indication of progressive liberalism. Until recently he's lived in a cocoon where these issues did not directly affect him . Now he's getting some eye opening examples affecting his life directly .Maybe one day he'll connect the dots .
So, do you think he will now petition the town council to allow these lemonade stands up and down the streets? BWAHAHAHAHA! Jerry Seinfeld is the true progressive liberal. Rules are for other people, not him. Or so he thought.
John Stossel did a segment on opening a lemonade stand as an example of the nanny state run amuck . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L478SB2uoOM
To me, it was an excellent example of people breaking the law and using their ignorance as an excuse. The last time I saw that many people so boastful of their willful stupidity was video from Ferguson. Here's the key question: How many of them, once they knew the law, petitioned to city to change the law? I'll guess the answer: Zero. So just how important is this issue?
I'll guess the answer: Zero. So just how important is this issue? Easier to break the law and rely on the neighbors not to be pricks and report it. And if a neighbor does report it, you find out who that is, and then...well...he had best be perfect. Even in his responses to provocation. Because, you see, there are laws about how far you can go when you are provoked and harassed. When somebody comes after you to make your life miserable expressly to do that, because he hates you and wants you to suffer: there are laws as to what you can and can't do in response to that. And if you lose control of yourself in anger and go over the line, it doesn't matter that you were angry and "justified". If the law says you went over the line, you can be destroyed. Isn't using the law to destroy people fun?
It's possible the neighbor confronted Seinfeld directly and Seinfeld told him to go f**k himself. Then the neighbor called the city.
Entirely possible. And now with any luck there'll be a lovely upper-class feud that goes on for years and blights the spirits of everybody involved, so that when they roll up to their little paradise, there's this black fly in their chardonnay.
Thanks to Seinfeld.

Takes two to tango. The neighbor should have ignored the lemonade stand.
