A restaurant outside of Oklahoma City is facing criticism after its outspoken owner made a series of inflammatory comments after one of his former customers, who is disabled, complained that he’d been banned from the establishment.

Matt Gard claims that the owner of Gary’s Chicaros restaurant, Gary James, banned him from the restaurant because of his wheelchair.

occasionally a owner has a strange wish-- its not a death wish-- its just an overwhelming desire to be sued.

Looks like this old hick Gary James didn't understand that news gets around with this new fangled interweb...

Gary James: Chicaros restaurant owner's ''****** ban'' backfires after web users advertise his diner as a GAY BAR - Mirror Online

The Facebook and Yelp pages are pretty funny at this point:

Quote:
The restaurant’s official t-shirt makes it clear that a “f*ggot” isn’t welcome in James’s establishment. It features that word, the N-word, and threatens violence against Muslims, Democrats, and members of many minority groups.
These t-shirts really exist? "Come on down to Gary's Chicaros for great food and drinks! Unless you're a ****** or ****** or **** or **** or *******."

Would he bar a disabled vet who fought for his right to be a bigoted jerk?

Doesn't every state have at least one character with a bar or restaurant, such as this and possibly the reason he remains open for years is because he pays off local officials?
