At what appears to be a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in California, a virulently racist white man was captured on camera delivering a hate-filled rant to a Muslim woman wearing a burqa.

“Is this Halloween or something?” the man asks in a threatening manner.

BOOM

[betsuni]

1. That guy has NOT read any of the Koran.

Pants on fire.

[LiberalFighter]

24. Or the Bible

[cyclonefence]

2. What I liked

was the stunned look on his face when people told him to shut up. Like every RWer I've ever encountered, he assumed that everyone else feels as he does. These guys need to be taught to be ashamed of themselves, and even if they have racist thoughts, they need to learn that it's not OK to voice them. Everything else aside, it's fucking rude.

[Mariana]

17. He was also rattled when she talked back to him.

The big strong brave man thought he'd picked a helpless victim who would just shut up and take his abuse. He chose poorly.

Now hoping everyone who knows this creep gets to see this vid.

[FM123]

3. Karma has no menu, it served him what he deserved.

[oberliner]

4. If you watch the video, she actually berated him

And he deserved it.

[MineralMan]

11. No. She defended herself. Should she not have done that?

In the end, the racist moron got tossed from the store, thanks to someone there standing up for the woman.

Such incidents happen daily, over and over again, and in all parts of this country. Have you never observed such an incident? I certainly have. I've also played the role of that other customer in the place who stood up to defend the person suffering the attack.

Anyone is completely justified in speaking up for him or herself, or for speaking up in someone else's defense. That's not berating. That's defending.

[oberliner]

14. No, she berated him

Berate means "scold or criticize (someone) angrily" and that is exactly what she did.

"Are you a Christian? If you're a Christian, let's talk about your Bible. Do you know that your Bible...in your Bible...in your Bible, Jesus says, "bring the people who don't believe to kill them in front of - <then he says "I don't have conversations with idiots" and she continues> - you are committing hate speech. You are committing hate speech against me."

She is scolding/criticizing him angrily which is what berating means - and, to repeat what I wrote in my post, he deserved it.

[Tipperary]

21. She sure did. She did it well. And he deserved every bit of it.

[Orsino]

27. It might have been more heartwarming to have seen her disarm him with love and caring...

...but she was the target being threatened here, and I don't consider it her responsibility to be much better than he was.

He lost face here, and will lose more each time this video is shared. That's the only loss he cares about, so I am content.

[NBachers]

5. I hope his sneering, hate-filled face is printed and distributed throughout the entire community.

I wonder what city this happened in.

[gratuitous]

28. Yup, somebody's about to become internet famous

And he won't enjoy it.

[mcar]

6. Bravo to the brave woman for taking him on,

to the brave manager for kicking him out and to the patrons for calling him out as the racist he is.

[Hortensis]

39. Yes. They all did good. I think he was surprised.

Lol, for sure he belatedly became aware he was about to become widely and permanently known for this.

[ejbr]

7. Loved the random guy

in background. He’s all “not on my watch, mother f’er!” #respect

[Scurrilous]

40. ...

[Bettie]

8. You know, if you are a right wing nutjob

no one will know until you open your mouth to say something stupid.

Why do these people feel entitled to say every hateful thing that comes into their heads?

[The Genealogist]

20. Because they are white men

who are taught their whole lives that they are somehow measurably superior and at the top of the social pecking order, because they were born white men.

[IronLionZion]

9. "Disrupting a public place and being very racist."

I hope Trump gets served soon...with impeachment.

Even in very liberal places like California we see the dregs of society feel comfortable spewing bigotry out in the open.

[Ferrets are Cool]

10. They are bullies and do what bullies do when confronted. RUN. nt

[NickB79]

12. Why don't I get lucky enough to encounter one of these assholes?

I'd love to call out a racist like the other customers were doing.

[NJCher]

16. I dislike that he created an ugly situation for everyone

hey, it was probably morning. Going to order a coffee to start off the day should be a pleasant experience. He ruined it for everyone. I call people out on stuff, but try to do it in a nice way. There has to be a better way of handling this than to make a big, nasty scene. At the moment I cannot think what that would be, however. Well, maybe this:

Maybe she should have gone over and paid for his coffee, smiled at him, and said, "We're not bad people."

[NickB79]

18. Kindness slides off people like that like rain off a duck

Sometimes assholes are too far gone to save.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

19. Calling out racists by telling them they're racist and have to leave is not making a big ugly scene.

[gay texan]

25. it's a requirement in order to make things better

Darkness hates the light and in this case, a truckload of spotlights was fired up on this jerk....

[gollygee]

29. I wouldn't pay for somebody's coffee if they'd talked to me like that

Why do we always expect people who are oppressed to be sweet and nice to people who are being horrible to them? That is an unreasonable expectation, and I doubt it is at all effective.

And HE is the one who created a scene.

[mountain grammy]

13. It feels very good that they refused to serve him.

I would like to have seen that earlier in the encounter. Couple of brave women there. Not only the customer, but the server who politely refused to serve him.

He does fit the profile of a mass killer.

[elmac]

15. rascist fascist nazi pig AKA typical tRumpster nt

[ProfessorPlum]

22. Does Jesus really say to bring all of the unbelievers and kill them?

I don't remember that part . . .

[ProfessorPlum]

23. Hmm. so I did some googling

and in Luke 19, Jesus does indeed speak those words. But it is while telling a parable, and the line seems to be attributable to the "king" in the story, not Jesus himself. But -- it is complicated because presumably the king represents Jesus (or the son of man), and also - it isn't clear to me where the king's words end and Jesus' words begin. A couple more well placed quotation marks could help here, lol.

But it looks like if you had an ax to grind against Christians, this is a more or less valid point of argument.

[Runningdawg]

26. If he did or didn't...

through the treatment of Native Americans we can see that some Christians took this parable to heart with the blessing of the government. To be a member of the NA church was a crime until 1978.

[ProfessorPlum]

30. oh, if we are talking about how some Christians _act_

then that is an entirely different story. Murderously intolerant, a lot of them.

To be a member of the NA church was a crime until 1978.

this surprises me. But i suppose it shouldn't.

[Major Nikon]

31. Really just an example of viewing scripture through a warped lens goes both ways

It's debatable on whether or not Jesus wished death on unbelievers, but he made no mistake about wishing for eternal torture. Seems worse by comparison, assuming one believes the mythology.

[ProfessorPlum]

32. well, yeah, as hitchens used to say it was only with the advent of Gentle Jesus

meek and mild do we get infinite torture for finite crimes. There could be no more immoral doctrine.

But the distinction between killing unbelievers while on earth and letting god sort them out after people are dead (of natural causes, one hopes) is an important one. Jesus' wheat and chaff, and goats and sheep, get separated after their deaths, not before.

[Major Nikon]

33. I'm not sure one can make such a distinction

Jesus was adamant in his advocacy of the older gospels in which you will find a few references to killing non-believers.

[ProfessorPlum]

35. you mean the old testament laws?

he did talk about jots and tittles, but that's different from (the literary character of) Jesus saying it directly.

[Major Nikon]

37. Not much different

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A17&version=NIV

[ProfessorPlum]

38. It's a distinction with a difference

You can't say Jesus said "don't eat shrimp" .

ah, who cares, Jesus is a literary character created by a group of Greek speaking scribes 50-110 years after his death. No one can say for sure what he said. I was just interested if those words were literally in the bible. And they are, with a few caveats.

[dalton99a]

34. Fight back!

Silence is not an option

[liberalhistorian]

36. "I know your religion and I don't want

to be killed by you."

Oh, yeah, asshole? Well, I don't wanna be killed by a white madman with a gun, which you are FAR more likely to be. But I guess that wouldn't count as terrorism to you, now, would it? Terrorism is only when the perpetrator has other than white skin.

[imanamerican63]

41. He puts the letter A in asshole!

[Xolodno]

42. Good for the store not serving him.

I'm going to have to increase the frequency I purchase coffee and tea from them.

[oasis]

43. Make my day. Kudos to CB&TL.

[Blue_Tires]

44. Even with all the scrutiny and shaming

the Nazis and Nazi-lites are getting bolder all the time...

All thanks to Trump

[mokawanis]

45. He certainly instigated it and was much worse

but I'm not impressed with her response either. Watching the two of them attacking the Koran and Bible was unpleasant.

[Demovictory9]

46. omg. what a hateful man. Kudos to who ever shouted "get the f... out". lol
