Trump backers get a taste of discrimination (Viewpoint)[Grab a pail]

Shannon Riggs and her cousins might now have a better understanding of what discrimination is all about.

"Once you witness (discrimination) first hand, it's a totally different experience," the teenager said. "I was in a state of shock." said Lauren Wolfrey, 16, who was part of the group denied service at a Cook Out eating spot in Colonial Heights, Va., They showed up from a Donald Trump rally, wearing garb that displayed their support, only to be told their business was not welcomed.

Wolfrey is spot-on. Discrimination is awful. Treating innocent people in a rude, rotten way is unforgivable and un-American.

Now they might know how a hard-working, peaceful Muslim feels when he or she is met with disapproving stares, slow service or none. Now they may know how blacks, Mexicans and Hispanics feel when they wonder why they get a different response from other people....

Yep, he turned on his own mild sentiments.

This opened up a space that Satan can easily invite a formerly civilized Muslim into.

However, do we ourselves want to get more fundamentalist than the large group of proclaimed Muslims in the world who really don’t go for all the madness. To tell a people that because it has sinned in one way, that it must sin in another way still, is certainly not a thing that Christians ought to be doing.

God continues to cheer for the frustration of Satan.

And the Cook Out Kooks should get a taste of the lawsuit that inevitably follows “discrimination” practiced against liberals.

It is VA, and a Virginian could be Mrs. Bill’s VP figure.

Company Statement Regarding Colonial Heights, VA Cook Out:

In response to an incident that occurred June 10th at our Colonial Heights, VA location a customer was not denied service. However, a Cook Out employee did violate our policy on rudeness when taking a customer’s order. The manager on duty immediately had someone else take the customer’s order.

After placing her order, we understand that the customer remained dissatisfied with her experience. The manager on duty apologized and granted the customer a refund when requested.

The employee that was rude was immediately terminated per policy. This was an isolated action of a single person and does not represent the principles on which Cook Out operates. To deny anyone from eating at one of our restaurants would never cross our mind and of course, would be totally ludicrous.

This is just a sample of what the Trump supporters will have to get used too, but i think they are up to it.
