One of the authors of Indiana's RFRA is going to feel the $$$ pain too

[Contrary1]

Uh, you might want to put some ice on that impending boo boo, Mr. Schneider.

Opponents of the Indiana 'religious freedom' act want to hit one of its chief legislative authors, state Sen. Scott Schneider, in the pocketbook. They've launched a boycott of his family's business, Mister Ice Indianapolis, one of the largest suppliers of ice machines in Central Indiana.

The 50-year-old ice machine distributor is owned by the family of Schneider, an Indianapolis Republican. He's one of the prime authors of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act measure that's come under withering public attack since Gov. Mike Pence signed it into law last week.

RFRA opponents are calling for a boycott of Mister Ice, using Facebook posts and other ways to spread the word. Several restaurateurs — their number is unknown — have joined the boycott and notified Mister Ice they will drop their ice machine leases or maintenance contracts. They include the 11-restaurant group Patachou Inc. and Some Guys Pizza, which has two stores, in Carmel and on Indianapolis' Northside.

Schneider did not respond to several requests for comment. In a phone interview, Schneider's father, William Schneider, the company founder and president, downplayed the boycott and said he didn't know how many customers have canceled contracts for ice machines.

"There hasn't been enough for me to get that concerned," said Schneider.

To which I would say: Ah, but we're just getting started...

3. Boycotts are effective at times and this idiot deserves to be boycotted

4. The only thing the right really cares about is money, so don't spend yours at their businesses.

Maybe a sinking bottom line will bring them back into the neighborhood of their senses.

5. Typical front line conservative. Can't anticipate future results of their ham handed actions.

"I didn't even figure it would be a boycott. I never thought it would get to that but apparently it has."
