- Girl Scout troop sets up a cookie stand in Villa Rica, GA.
- Cop hassles Girl Scouts for not having permit.
- Cop brings Girl Scouts to police station.
- What happened at this point was not explicitly stated in the article, but probably went along these lines: mayor is informed that one of his cops has volunteered the town of Villa Rica to have a blood feud with the Girl Scouts; mayor blanches and has a minor heart attack; mayor screams at cop in question for half an hour and threatens to consume cop’s liver if cop ever does that again.
- Mayor gets permit for Girl Scouts; takes entire troop to Chuck E. Cheese.
- Girl Scouts call off blood feud.
OK, that last part is an extrapolation, but a logical one. Because you. Do Not. F*ck With. The Girl Scouts. Or the Boy Scouts, for that matter. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the Scouts are immune to whatever pressure can normally be brought to bear on an organization, and they automatically win any dispute in which they find themselves.
Period. End sentence.

Honestly, I don’t blame the mayor. I would done the same thing.
Oh, I don’t blame the mayor either.
Dunno bout the Boy Scouts. Plenty of pols gunning for them without any apparent damage. Oh, they’ll never have a national office, but they never would have ANYWAY.
