"Imagine this cool scene I made up in my head that totally proves me right." Have you ever been to a major city in a foreign country? Most people in this world aren't so rude so as to interrupt a conversation that they're not part of to insist a different language be spoken.
Some people on this board were raised by wolves, I swear...
Anyway, I'll speak whichever language fits me best, when and where I see fit, and if you're not part of the conversation, feel free to not give a damn - because you're not invited to discuss it.
Most people would also recognize a clearly disturbed woman and not engage her in a completely fruitless confrontation.
Has it occurred to anyone that maybe the woman was mentally ill? Maybe she is on meds that screwed her up even more. It happens and it happens a lot.
Just like the enormous thread a little while back where there was video of an elderly white woman in McDonald's who told a non-white, Hispanic woman to speak Spanish in Spain. She didn't seem all there but people were out with pitchforks literally wishing death upon her. They just KNEW from a two-minute video that she's intentionally hateful and the penalty for interrupting non-English conversations should be death.
Well, how do you tell mentally ill people from ordinary folks expressing their political views on how things should be?
More importantly, what do you do about in a public setting such as this?
Do you ignore them and hope they shut up eventually?
Do you call the police and ask them to do a welfare check?
Do you video them and use social media to ridicule this behavior, hopefully encouraging others to put a cork in it rather than be subject to public ridicule?

The right thing to do is to inform the coffee shop staff of what is happening. Its their establishment, they should deal with it.
