Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

July 13, 2011

Palm Beach, Florida resident Commodore Bradford richly deserves to be called a pig. For several years, Bradford would visit the Hurricane Grill and Wings restaurant and assail the waitresses with the crudest sexual overtures imaginable.

On several occasions, this porcine specimen followed various waitresses around with his cell phone camera, attempting to take photos of their cleavage. He invited one waitress to have a ?threesome? with his wife. Finally, he humiliated a waitress named Stacy Sorenson by loudly asking her, in front of the customers and staff, when the two of them would have sex.

Miss Sorenson complained to the management, who did nothing to help. Finally, she prepared to file a lawsuit. The management fired the waitress, rather than banning the bully. This precipitated a lawsuit by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which accuses the restaurant of permitting Commodore Bradford to harass the waitresses.

The problem here is that Mr. Bradford is no typical bully. The 57-year-old adolescent is a deputy with the Palm Beach County Sheriff?s Office ? which would be the proper target for the EEOC?s lawsuit, were that agency actually interested in defending the weak, rather than destroying private enterprise.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
