O'NEIL, FL -- They came without song or chants. Instead their hands grasped firmly to a message, one they want to make quite clear.
"Pornography and sex shops in general are bad for the community," says Rick Young, who's leading up the demonstration at a new store in Nassau County.
They say now that Adam & Eve has come to town, crime and other troubles will follow.
"Certainly we hope that this business will decide to move else where, close it's doors and move out. Move out of our county quite frankly, " says Young.
Not going to happen, says the stores owner, who put up a sign welcoming the protesters.
"The spirit of the sign was to welcome the protesters, and let's face it protesters are good press for us, " says George Cebeck, the stores owner.
Some people at the Nassau County Commission might argue otherwise. Computer disks of the County Manager's Draft Ordinance, to keep the shop away from schools and neighborhood, went quickly.
Clearly the controversy didn't scare all the customers away, "People vote with their feet. If their was nobody coming into the store we wouldn't be here", says Cebeck.
Still Rick Young and his group wouldn't mind if those feet went shopping somewhere else, "We plan to be here as long as it takes."
