MUNCIE, IN -- A property owner is challenging the Indiana Department of Homeland Security's authority to regulate and permit live entertainment.
IDHS decreed in April that his private establishment, called Folly Moon, was prohibited from allowing a band to play music because he had not groveled to them for a permit and paid them an extortion fee. The gangsters get away with this denial of property rights under the guise of fire safety and building inspection.
Homeland Security found Mike Martin of the Folly Moon in violation of state law by failing to obtain an entertainment permit for live music at the downtown establishment. Martin filed an appeal to the permit, and will stand before a judge in August. He says that IDHS is trying to shut down small business with outdated laws.
"Please stand with me, American Citizens everywhere, and business owners in demanding that we will not allow The Department of Homeland Security in our businesses and homes," said Martin. He encourages citizens to "stand united against...this increasingly fascist government."
