Woman demands to see passports of Spanish-speaking family at Virginia restaurant

A white woman confronted a Spanish-speaking family last week at a Virginia restaurant and demanded that they "show me your passports" in video that has since gone viral.

The woman can be heard in the video screaming at a Guatemalan woman and her family, telling them to "go back to your f-----g country." She also tells the family not to "freeload on America" and repeatedly asks for their passports.

Later in the video, the woman is seen continuing her tirade outside the restaurant, saying, "I'm tired of this shit."

The confrontation occurred at Andy's, a restaurant in Lovettsville, Va. The restaurant denounced the woman in a Facebook post, calling her "a vile and loathsome individual."

"Thank you — and we mean this with all the aforementioned respect that you rightfully deserve—for never returning to Andy’s. You are not welcome," the restaurant wrote.

I do not know if it meets the stand for criminal harassment but it might scare the s**t out of them. Also send their photo to some social media outlet and make them as famous as Barbeque Becky wh probably does not now go out in public without a disguise. They have to no there is a price to be paid for their racist behavior.

There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in a place like a restaurant. She purposely attracted attention to herself. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with making her identity known to everyone.

Woman at Virginia restaurant recorded shouting racist remarks at family speaking Spanish: 'Go back to your f---ing country'

By Michelle Gant | Fox News



A family dining at Andy's restaurant in Virginia was subject to a racist tirade from another diner. (Google)



A Latina woman who was dining with her family visiting from Guatemala claims she was verbally harassed by a white woman for speaking Spanish at a restaurant in Virginia.

The woman said they were yelled at for more than 10 minutes inside Andy’s in Lovettsville.

"She asked for passports; she said that she knew everybody in Loudoun County to get us out of here, and she started saying that we were supposed to speak English, but I'm like 'We’re not talking to you,’” the victim, who asked to remain anonymous, told Telemundo 44.

“They're here visiting and they don’t know English, so how do you want them to speak English when they’re here just visiting?" she said.

Like the poster before me, I wish this P.O.S. would be identified, also.

I just hope they were able to put it behind them and not let it eat away at them.

It would have been wonderful seeing someone grab her by the collar and the seat of her pants and pitch her off that porch!

Hope she gets hers, someday, with interest.

Hi, Cha.

If I see a video of one of Trump’s orangeshirts get the shit kicked out of him or her, I’ll laugh my ass off and cheer the whole time. These are bullies who only fear force. So if some of them get force, maybe it will make others think twice. And it would be an extremely entertaining watch.

Do these haters realize that the US makes a lot of money from foreign tourists?

Even (especially) non-citizens deserve our respect. They are GUESTS in our country (and, btw, spending $).

And who ARE these people, demanding someone's passport? Even the police can't do that.

They are so filled with hatred by Trump, and they think they now have superpowers. They are going to fall very flat when he goes back to his golden toilet in Trump Tower.
