Here it gets really odd. If you watch the video, the vet said he was a customer there for years. He knew about the owner's racism and bigotry, but "always turned a blind eye to it."
Why is he getting upset now that the venom is turned on him? This is a surprise?
If I knew a restaurant subscribed to this kind of ideology, to the point of having an official racist T-shirt, I would never set foot in it.
Furthermore, now that the story has made headlines, the local villagers are going after the owner with torches and pitchforks. They're pretending they didn't know.
Bull.

Freedom of choice is a double edged sword. The free market will correct that all on its own, without government involvement.

The way free people make it work. Controlled people, will cry to the government gods to save them.

Nah, he'll probably just whine about business being bad and blame Obama.

I hope that the owner gets a sued and has his doors closed.

It's his right to be as nasty and backwards as he wants in his own home. But when he chose to open a business serving the public, he agreed to follow the laws pertaining to discrimination. And thank G-d for that.

His busines should be regarded as no different than his home and he is already paying for his stupidity, no laws are required.
Private property rights should supersede political correctness.
