All I'm saying is that their religion should not be an influencing factor in deciding whether to eject them, and if it was, the business should be forced into corrective remedy.
Give it a rest, I'll be sure to point out your hypocrisy in the near future because it is certain to come forth. Of course you don't think them having a religious get together would be something to eject them for unless they were Christians. I already KNOW that.

Customer: Elderly Squatters Take Over McDonald’s in Queens « CBS New York

Yeah, people were scared of them as well.
The McDonald's has done what you refuse to do. Show harm.

“They come here, and it’s like they live here sometimes,” said customer Kieran McCaffrey. “They buy one cup of coffee, and they’re literally here for hours. I never stay because there’s never a seat.”

There have been other threads where you were all up in arms because some Christians were praying in public. Don't be obtuse.

Good, you don't need to display your religion in a confined public area. Its like saying you exposed your genitals in public saying its how you were born and its natural. You want to do that go home and do it.

I find it sad that people won't defend their positions but yet continue to believe they are right.

Where/when have I been up in arms because Christians were praying in public? Don't bear false witness.
