Video of the Friday incident posted on Twitter shows the unidentified white man seated alone at a table nearby as one member of the family begins filming, while daring the man to repeat an offensive remark apparently uttered before the video began.
Seconds later, the man is shown giving the family the middle finger and yelling several obscene phrases, including "[President] Trump is going to f--- you" and referring to the person as an "Asian piece of shit." The family in response can be heard asking management to remove the man, who appears inebriated.

One tool tried to pretend that since it was Monterey, he was a liberal. He was schooled.

(16,616 posts)Once they confronted him, he invoked Trump--his savior hero--and instead of saying "I'm going to..." he threw it to his idol, "Trump is going to..." Like, "My Daddy is going to come back tonight and beat you up because I can't, i'm just a small little shit-for-brains. But My Daddy will fix it all. He's all-powerful!"
These people are extreme cowards who follow Trump because they think he grants them power. They are all miserable failures. Confront them and many of them just collapse on the spot.

(9,952 posts)they taunted him to say it again. He should have just stood and left but he couldn't do it. He just had to put his racism out there, own it at the expense of business and personal harms.
I love Carmel by the Sea.

The woman who recorded this says the guy's attack was completely unprovoked. She went on to post info about him, including a back and forth in a comment section which appears to show him threatening to kill a guy who called him out for his behavior.
Lofthouse has since gotten rid of his social media accounts. Solid8 hasn't spoken on it yet.

With any luck, there will be another job opening in Monterey soon.

(8,678 posts)This guy hates Asians for whatever stupid reason and thinks Trump will get rid of them. That's basically all he really cares about. The fact that Trump is a psychotic lunatic and cheated to win the election doesn't concern him whatsoever.

These Trumpers really need to see the wizard of Oz to ask for a brain 🧠, because thats the last thing their hero could offer them.
