Florida Auto repair shop puts up the most hateful sign

A hateful sign in front of an auto repair shop near Tallahassee was called out by a Democratic political operative and has earned nearly a million views on Twitter.

“Veterans get a day, f*gs and child molesters get a month, why,” the sign reads. May is National Military Appreciation Month in the U.S., and November is National Veterans and Military Families Month.

The words appeared on a roadside sign in front of Rick’s Auto Repair shop in a rural part of Leon County near Tallahassee, the Florida state capital.

And as a former auto technician, I've seen and been in some pretty sketchy looking repair shops.

Never mind the sign, if you take your car to this place, buyer beware.

Hate has no place anywhere and hopefully the shop's proprietor finds out real soon how capitalism works.

Enter at your own risk.

I Google Mapped the address and hit street side view, it was the place. It looks like a dump.

Probably their way to get free media coverage to try and drum up business. Given the streetview look of the building it isn't exactly nice looking.
