The book store owner removed Playboy from his shelves,
rather than risk prosecution and an expensive legal battle
that these assholes knew he could not afford.
These religious crusaders, hiding behind the badge of the Justice Dept,
know they can intimidate small biz owners with just the threat of fines/jail-time.
Even if you eventually "win" the case, after months/years of stress
and harrasment, you still end up bankrupt from defending yourself.
The only way to really win is to not vote religious extremists into power.
