Mkay.

“We at the pie shop believe that we should love everyone and we were sad to hear what happened to Ahmed,” said Megan Wilkes, owner of Emporium Pies.

…

Wilkes said both locations, as they always do, will provide free slices of pie to uniformed law enforcement officers.

“We never want to criticize law enforcement, but [Ahmed] had to deal with a lot of stuff today,” Wilkes said. “We felt like it was a little bit silly, so why not encourage him by saying everyone that brings in a clock gets 20-percent off their pie.”

Well, a discount on pie is a discount on pie. And who doesn’t love pie?

@KevinNR If we have to pay full retail for Apple pie then the terrorists have won.
