He’s blocking the business trade.
Coffee shops can refuse service to anyone.

The server had magnificent patience.
Kudos to her.

My husband would not have been as patient as those witnesses are.

So easy for assholes to browbeat female servers.

He has the privilege of not being a black man to block a business and berate an employee of the business without the police being called.

I wonder if he's a citizen even. I know guys from far eastern Europe who are like that, they stand just like that when they get cocky and argue just like that with endless pretzel logic.

I would have hosed him with some kind of mace or just reached out and clocked his ass.

The Trumpistas always project exactly what they do onto everyone else. I'd place a bet that this guy is being paid to incite. Either that, or he is just a moron. Maybe it is both

are picking up these racist rants. It’s not good for my blood pressure to see all of these people but maybe the RW press is seeing that there’s money in showing people like this. Gets them a lot more Liberal readers/viewers. Perhaps the social shaming will have a positive effect.

They make me want to say really vile things about them. But that's letting them win.

I think the poeple talking to him should have said, I want to buy a coffee dipshit, either place an order or shut up and let her get on with business.

You know what wouldn't be winning for him? Those other two guys physically stopping him from what he was doing. There isn't a jury in the country that would have convicted them of anything if they forcibly protected that woman by making him leave by whatever means necessary. And I would say the same thing if the woman in the store was a man.

or just a few extra Budweiser's? That weird belly doesn't match the rest of his frame.

Regardless, he is a tool! You got to wonder what entity got him so ginned up to go and make a complete fool of himself?

Go on boy, make a stand and sound like a rube doing it.

They should have called the cops on his getting in the way of business .

Stop wasting time on people who just want to spew bigotry and have no interest in learning.

There seems little point in calling the cops, since we know how they behave. People should have stepped in and shut him down.
