Local war on porn continues

The owners of two Blount County adult-oriented businesses have been indicted.

The Blount County grand jury indicted two business owners Monday on charges of operating adult-oriented businesses without a license.

Donald Ray Wilson, 54, East Lamar Alexander Parkway, Walland, and David E. Anderson, 42, Sevierville, were each cited twice by the Blount County Sheriff’s Office in February 2005 on the charge of operating without a license, according to the indictments.

Wilson owns Pure Pleasure Video, 4541 East Lamar Alexander Parkway, in Walland, and Anderson owns Sunshyne Video Two, 3531 U.S. 411 South, Maryville.

Anderson wasn’t surprised by the indictments. The citations he said were an attempt to force him to close his business.

“It was a direct effort to try and shut me down,” said Anderson. “It had nothing to do with what was right and what was wrong.”

The Blount County Adult-Oriented Establishment Board denied both Wilson and Anderson’s requests for operating licenses April 1, 2005, for not meeting county zoning regulations related to their businesses. The board reversed the decision the same month and granted the licenses.

I’ve covered this for a while. Basically, this sham of a board appears to have been set up specifically for the purpose of shutting down existing adult businesses. The good ol’ boys, with their religion and superior morals on their side, don’t want you or anyone else looking at dirty pictures. I don’t know that this sham of a board has actually approved anyone. And it probably won’t because that’s not its purpose. If you want more proof that it’s a sham, the article also states:

If convicted, Anderson said he’ll get a $50 fine, a misdemeanor.

“They spent, literally, thousands of dollars on a $50 citation,” he said.

Yes, with all the other things happening in the County (like the fact the population is outgrowing the schools), it’s good to see that they’re willing to spend thousands of my bucks to stop an adult, who is capable of deciding for himself, from looking at nekkid pictures of people doing it.

Shame on the county.
