A GoFundMe For the Xenophobic Lawyer Whose Meltdown Went Viral Hires a Mariachi Band to Play Outside His Office

by Aidan McLaughlin | 10:19 am, May 17th, 2018

Mariachis For Aaron Schlossberg” is a GoFundMe page started in the honor of the lawyer who had a meltdown at a Midtown Manhattan lunch spot after he caught some of its workers speaking in Spanish.

-snip-

And now, some good Samaritans who wanted to brighten up Schlossberg’s very bad day hatched a plan: Crowdfund a mariachi band to show up at this firm “to cheer up the staff and attorneys at The Law Office of Aaron M. Schlossberg Esq. P.L.L.C. after a difficult day.”

From the GoFundMe page:

We are requesting the band to sing the famous, endearing, and warm spanish children song, La Cucaracha, the cockroach.

We are countering hate and racism with the sound of music.

Any leftover money will be used to send a delicious Taco Truck lunch to the staff and a copy of all federal and state statute mentioning undocumented immigrants do not qualify for welfare

The fund, after blasting past its $500 goal, announced that a mariachi band had offered to perform at Schlossberg’s office pro bono. That left the fund’s organizers with enough money to sponsor a taco truck, which they said will be dispatched to the offices — and filmed — on Thursday. So keep an eye out for video of Mr. Schlossberg enjoying some delicious Mexican fare.

Racist lawyer runs scared from cameras outside home

The Midtown lawyer who was caught on video hurling racist comments at Spanish-speaking restaurant workers refused to comment outside his home Thursday while shielding himself from reporters.

Aaron Schlossberg, 42, ducked all questions regarding his tirade at the Fresh Kitchen food joint on Madison Avenue near East 39th Street Tuesday afternoon.

Schlossberg, carrying a briefcase and wearing a black ski cap and a suit and tie, used his open umbrella to hide his face and appeared to shoot cell phone video of the gathered media outside his West 60th Street building.

“Please send help,” Schlossberg was then heard speaking into his cell phone. “They’re claiming things that aren’t true…grabbing me, not letting me walk.”

“They won’t let me move. They’re surrounding me,” Schlossberg said on the call before hopping into a yellow cab at on West 60th Street near Tenth Avenue.
