Mariachi Band to Take Over Office of Lawyer Who Went on Racist Rant

http://observer.com/2018/05/white-attorney-spanish-lawyers-mariachi-band/

A New York City mariachi band will be taking over the law office of a white attorney who insulted two Spanish-speaking women restaurant workers.

New York lawyer Aaron Schlossberg, of the Law Office of Aaron Schlossberg, Esq. PLLC, yelled at the workers at Fresh Kitchen in Midtown Manhattan for speaking Spanish and threatened to call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on them, as first reported by Gothamist on Wednesday. The video was posted by Edward Suazo on Facebook. Schlossberg has reportedly been seen at rallies in support of President Donald Trump.

A man named Mark Goldberg started a GoFundMe campaign on Wednesday, with a goal of raising $500 to send a mariachi band to cheer up the staff and attorneys at Schlossberg’s law office “after a difficult day.” He said any leftover money would be used to send a taco truck to provide lunch to the staff.

He also said he wants the band to sing “La Cucaracha,” a traditional Spanish folk song that became popular in Mexico during the Mexican Revolution. He did not state the name of the band.

So it seems like he has been both fired and banned from the premises. Unless he's going to work from home....
