The grand view coffee shop in Vassaboro, right next door to Augusta has been hit with what some call local terrorism/arson. Due to the servers lack of traditional uniforms.(topless coffee shop.) A letter was writen in yesterdays newspaper's opinion page stating that local workers may consider helping the owner (with no fire insurance rebuild.) See below for copy of at least one letter to a local newspaper page by a hack writer:
It seems the unofficial Americanized version of the Taliban has committed a terrorist act by burning down the Grand View coffee shop.
It would be a miracle if the investigating law enforcement agencies interrupted their all-day coffee break and cracked this case.
(As you recall someone was murdered on Route 17 in Augusta and that case remains unsolved.)
Well, this does send a clear and distinct message to current and potential business owners in the Augusta area: Invest a lot in insurance, especially for fire.
I've never been to this coffee shop, even though an old friend was pictured in the controversial front page photo of this newspaper.
I'm guessing since a lot of skilled workers patronized this establishment that materials and labor will be donated to rebuild. This may occur not just for a return of expensive coffee, but to show the local terrorists that freedom is practiced in our democracy.
This is the homefront and we all need to consider contributing to resist all forms of terrorism right here in the Augusta area. (Even if you personally don't like drinking coffee.)
In conclusion, there's a good chance nothing will be accomplished due to fear and intimidation from the local radical voices of authority. However, if the workers band together to help the victims of this terrorist act, then no one will fear our local American Taliban.
