Furrier accuses protesters of elder abuse

Portland, Ore. -- The last remaining furrier in downtown Portland, Ore., has obtained restraining orders against protesters he accused of abusing him for being elderly.

Horst Grimm, 75, owner of Nicholas Ungar Furs, obtained restraining orders against four of the protesters who have gathered daily outside of his building. Further arguments in the case are scheduled to go before a judge Nov. 4, The (Portland) Oregonian reported Tuesday.

Judge Kenneth Stewart ruled Thursday to maintain the restraining orders, which were issued in July and August, but the 150-foot restrictions were lifted. The protesters were instead told not to speak to Grimm, which fellow demonstrators said they accomplished by protesting in silence.

Grimm obtained the orders under the Oregon Elderly Persons and Persons with
Disabilities Abuse Prevention Act, claiming the protesters targeted him because of his age.

"Because of his age"

Yeah buddy, has nothing to do with you profiteering off the torture, confinement, and misery of other beings.
