His partner is doing damage control, and probably genuinely so.

Will it be enough to keep your business? Will the others keep frequenting the place? What's your guess?
I think and hope that the damage control will ultimately work. It's a great place.

What is ironic is that the liberal media is spewing a frenzy a BS over this. What exactly did he say that was wrong?
You wouldn't understand. It's fall, it's an election year....you have all the capacity for reasonable discourse as a moose in rut.

Riddle me your thought process on this one....because after Laquan's story broke how the EFF to do you top that crap? Ooooh but the police super had to take full retirement....sick burn huh?

BLM has about 6 months left before it joins Sheehan and Occupy. Ask yourself why.
I'm not from Chicago, I'm not very familiar with the case, I don't care about the politics of that city, and I'm not a member of BLM.

Wow. What he's saying is that all these shootings of black males were justified because they just didn't follow directions.

Anyone with half a brain keeping up with a quarter of the news, knows that's bull. Videos and car cams have proven several cops shot people for no just reason.

To say otherwise is offensive.

Looks that way. My cousin knows both guys and supposedly, they're both great guys. All I know is that they run a top notch tavern.

They'll weather the storm I'm sure. At least I hope they do.

Cop out. Doesn't matter if you are a member or not and the case is easy to google.

Your prediction without being aware of that recent case and it's lack of fallout (IMO) is based upon a lack of information in that case.

Just do me one favor and read up on the case? If THIS angered you.....ooooh wow you're in for a real treat and I think you can appreciate that from our years of interaction I don't make this recommendation lightly.

It also points to the fatal flaw in BLM...it's just being election year funded and only if it bites the right people.

The footage does not prove it. You can twist it all you want, you weren't there. You see what you want to see.
