A sad day for coffee lovers...oh, and topless waitress fans too...

Scalding hot beverages. Toplessness. Okay... :/

At any rate, it makes me wonder just how long they thought they'd be able to get away with that, considering that there's obviously people very opposed to them being there. With moral/modesty rabid people, it's nigh impossible to change their minds and the longer something incenses them, the more ferocious and unreasonable they get...
 
I think the main issue people seem to have with is that the owner may have been operating this place through a few loopholes of the law, since it sounds like they were trying to fix the laws so there wouldn't be any loopholes.

Had someone not burned the place down, I'm sure the local city government would have taken away his business license when they changed the laws or some other foolishness.

If he was operating within the confines of the laws as they were defined, who cares what he's doing, as long as he's operating within the law.

Just takes one pyromanic conversation to screw it up for everyone else. Plus, I can't imagine someone sinking over a quarter of a million dollars into a business without any insurance. That makes no sense at all.
 
My biggest question: what's up with not having insurance?

I've been part of 2 business ventures, and the first thing I do whenever I'm helping run a business is making sure we have proper liability and property insurance. A quarter million down the hole and nothing to show for it, it makes a "simple" lost into a business tragedy.
 
Article doesn't explicitly state this but the building was also their home, 7 people including children were sleeping at the time of the fire. If not for an ambulance that happened to pass by, they could have all died.

I would expect businesses burned down and doctors killed for religious or moral reasons in Afghanistan.
