Sorry if previously posted but first I have seen it. Whow.
But lots of truth to this--Trump says what he wants and this gives permission for bigots to do the same!

Ni**ers Are Not Allowed To Eat Here & Since Trump Is President I Can Say What I Want Restaurant Owner Chants
By VibesRoll -
February 12, 2017
A Restaurant in Annville, Pennsylvania Just Wing It has displayed a Donald Trump iii Effect on Ni**ers who tried to eat chicken at their restaurant. Rickey Lee Bugg, Jr. and friend Jack Gunkel were eating their food when the founder, Chris Behney, allegedly called them a racial slur and told them to leave the restaurant.
.......................................
Of course words were exchanged and Bugg asked for his money back. The waitress agreed to refund him his money. According to Bugg, Behney then came out of the bar area and confronted him. Things went from bad to worse and Bugg admitted to, lets say, rearranging some of the furniture. Well, actually, he said this: I flipped a few chairs, adding he yelled at the owner, Thats not the way to treat people. Bugg said that Behney told him that since Donald Trump is president now, I can say what I want.
The investigation is ongoing, but no motive beyond racism has been identified as the reason for the altercation. Bugg filed reports with Annville Police Department as well as with LVC stating that he had eaten at the restaurant several times prior without incident. His father has questioned police findings that conclude no evidence of any wrongdoing on Just Wing Its part even though there were eyewitnesses to the incident. He has hired an attorney and promises to sue for denying his son service on the basis of race.
Report has it that a lot of people in the community have come out to support Buggs family on this. Even the students are calling boycotts and an apology from the manager of the restaurant who cited Trump being a president as a reason to be racist This is morally wrong and should be frown on one the student said.

How long before the separate PoC restrooms, drinking fountains etc reappear in Trump's 4th Reich?

it's much more satisfying to see him go out of business.

Make sure you give him a Yelp review including his words.

(36,419 posts)The malicious reviews are still getting posted, and only the over-the-top ones are getting removed. Yelp isn't moderating as much as they are just cleaning up the nasty ones to maintain a modicum of civility. The restaurant is in for a bumpy ride for the foreseeable future.

(1,606 posts)which is odd, don't they usually want the business to pay for cleanup and better ratings? maybe that's what happened.

(146,288 posts)happened a month ago. Right now, one review site shows that restaurant as permanently closed. It looks like the site at the link is pretty late getting to this story.
Here's a story about the incident from a local news source:

I haven't checked to see if the restaurant is closed permanently or not. Sounds like it was a crappy restaurant in the first place, though.

(12,212 posts)Yelp has a notice that the reviews are being monitored because of the recent news.
It looks to me like it's still open. June of last year (on Google maps) they have help wanted signs in the window as well as an application for a liquor license.
Maybe Google says it's closed, until the clamoring settles down.

This and all the anti semetic attacks across the country prove that right?

(82,849 posts)President Trump, the self-proclaimed least anti-Semitic, not racist, totally not a bigot, I am like, totally a feminist person in the world just seems to be victimized by all these assholes who invoke his name to justify their prejudice. The poor guy just has the worst luck! So unfair.
