If it were liberals shutting down a Starbucks there would be 50 C-D threads talking about "liberal thug homosexual illegal immigrant Muslim SJW rioters destroy private enterprise, SAD!"
Exactly. It's fine as long as its conservatives protesting.
Since we are talking about Starbucks, I am reminded of how the "religious freedom" of businesses goes out the window when they want to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas because conservatives are offended.
What I find interesting is the the barista wrote "Build a Wall" on the cup. To me that indicated that she was in agreement with the customer. WTF? "bullied and laughed at"...how?
I wonder about people's ... er...reading comprehension.
"Build a Wall" would be different from the famous line "Build the Wall"
The barista was not a Trump supporter but rather playing with the words on building walls and not tearing them down.
There will only be one "Wall" , not "A Wall" but rather "The Wall" and it will be solar.
Isn't interesting that "paying customers" who are "peaceful" are considered THUGS! by the Leftists.
Notice that nothing was damaged. Nothing was burned. No illegal activity took place, No one wore masks or tried to hide their faces. No one was hurt and lastly, no security and not one Police Officer was needed What did happen was a respectful, peaceful and lawful "demonstration" took place by conservative PRESIDENT Trump supporters and guess what. Their point was made and acknowledged. Observe and learn. Will this happen at the next liberal "demonstration"? I doubt that a group of liberals can go without unlawful activity for more than about 5 minutes. Why is that? A large part is because so many young people have been indoctrinated by the liberal controlled education system that they do not know how to do anything without vulgar language and violence.
I guess it's how the Leftists understand protest. Staging a sit in while ordering coffee vs rioting, death threats, stabbings and shootings. There is a Major disconnect with the Leftists vs the mainstream in the USA.
And make no mistake -- these Leftists are NOT just "protesting" President Trump, but all who Voted for him.
Showing up peacefully, not raising your voice, being a paying customer, not blocking anyone else who wants to enter and be a paying customer, damaging nothing --- but traveling in a large group wearing Trump shirts to say that you won't belittle us as paying customers is a "tantrum."
So, they disrupted business? I'm pretty sure that's illegal.
The staff mocked the Trump shirt lady because she was rude, unless this is another Trump shirt lady.
I think some Trumpers mistakenly believe that everywhere they go, people will bow down to their "winning" vote, but really? People who don't like Trump will just associate those people with Trump, and no good will come of it.
ETA: I must have been recalling another incident with a Trump supporter in a Starbucks. And, this wasn't really a sit-in. They were paying customers. I see no issue with paying customers showing up in a group as long as they're courteous to the other customers and to the staff. Which, they seem to have been.
Yeah and when the left smashes windows and tears down walls of business because they feel no one's bowed down to them as they wish, we only hear crickets from the left.
"Special Snowflake is a derogatory term widely used on Tumblr to describe someone who often whines about deserving special treatment or sees oneself as exceptionally unique for no apparent reason, similar to the use of the expression check your privilege in the social justice blogosphere."
Those people didn't see themselves as special or unique. They wanted to be served at Starbucks without being harassed, just like everyone else...that is being treated the same.
They didn't have a melt down. They showed up smiling, declaring themselves as Trump supporters, paid for service, damaged nothing, never shouted, never prevented anyone access from anything, and then left.
If you have a problem with that, then you have a severe problem.
Aren't they just? Think about it, they voted for a man who actively mocks everyone, from fellow candidates in his own party to the disabled to reporters to....well, the list goes on and on and on. And the cult cheers every single time.
But horrors! A barista laughed at one of them, and they all go to pieces. These special little flowers don't do so well in the real world, where their cultmaster is universally reviled. Poor babies.
When Hillary mocked half the country - many in the Hillary cult cheered on here.
No one went all to pieces - the fact that you resort to lies shows that you aren't holding any cards except the hyper-partisan card.
These people peacefully exercised their first amendment rights in a completely acceptable manner that actually gave Starbucks MORE business.
