....

The pub owner, Kim Bruns, 51, was charged for allegedly threatening the couple with a gun, according to the records.

"It's all false accusations," Bruns told the paper. “I have black people who work for me. I have never used a racial slur."

....

Bruns then reportedly left the room and came back with a black revolver identified by police as a .357-caliber Magnum Colt Python.

....

Elwin offered to pay for the drink, but Bruns reportedly wouldn’t let them leave.

"I'll shoot you too if I have to. It's legal," Bruns reportedly said. "Call Jesse Jackson, [profanity]."

Bruns denied pulling the gun or threatening the couple. She refused to hand over surveillance video of the incident to police.

While being arrested for aggravated assault, Bruns ranted at an officer, according to the police record.

"I can't believe you would take those (racist profanity) side over mine," records state.

She thinks all black people have Jess Jackson on speed dial number 1. Al Sharpton gets number 2.

edit to change the brackets that made the racist profanity disappear on DU.

1. Lots of subtext in this statement:

"I can't believe you would take those side over mine,"

4. What I read is illiterate Cracker with a gun and no brains.

Half of America is like this asshole. They may just take over.

5. there is

She is denying she used racial slurs. I guess if you want people to believe you did not use slurs, it is best not to use them when talking to the police.

2. Next thing you know, she'll be hiring George Zimmerman for security.

3. And I bet she has FOX news at #1 on speed dial and Limbaugh at #2. nt

6. I would have expected the headline to begin "Florida Man ..."

... but I was wrong.

It was Florida Woman.

7. Weird thing---I've been in this pub.

I'ts next to Wet and Wild on I-Drive in Orlando. Possibly one of the biggest tourist areas in the country. You'd think it would be in the backwoods of Florida---but no.... it's in the heart of Mickey Land.

9. That's still fairly backwoods

I remember venturing outside of the theme parks on one trip and was rather stunned by the banjo breeders just up the road.

10. I-Drive is not backwoods---

Lockheed Martin is about 2 miles from that joint. Capitol Grill and many other fine establishments are about a mile away--- The convention Center is right there.

8. "I can't believe you would take those side over mine,"

But there's no such thing as white privilege, according to some.
