Trump backers get a taste of discrimination (Viewpoint)[Grab a pail]
The Republican ^ | June 17, 2016 | Ron Chimelis

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....

Will be amusing when that restaurant’s windows get shot out with a BB gun.

So actual discrimination is held up against the great, phantom discrimination against Muslims that no one can ever seem to prove.

What a stupid article.

Getting a different response is a lot different than being denied service

There was another version of this story with a completely different point of view. This one was written by a leftist Nazi.

I want to live in a country with widespread discrimination. Discrimination is a right to choose...what freedom loving person could argue with that?

To be fair, they shouldn’t have wallowed in whining; just wished the bigots well and gone on their way. That illustrates an attitude that nobody can criticize, and that leaves room for both the blessings and the wrath of God as the wisdom of God sees fit to bring about.

In fact, America keeps on trying to teach Muslims how to be civil.

Even Trump said he really wanted a better way to screen people than a blanket ban, but if this is the best Islam as a group will allow us, this is what we got to do.

If they will not turn against their extremists and refuse to go along with them, then, as GWB said, if you’re not with us then well...

It is Islam which teaches people to go beyond "discriminating", and all the way to beheading and worse.

But, people who have been enslaved and indoctrinated by Islam should not be despised: Islam itself should be.

Mostly, if not all of those workers are black. They won’t be in business long, would be my guess.

It is a religion of mixed and contradictory (not paradoxical, contradictory) sentiments.

This is how two people can both say they are Islamic and yet one is a mad jihadist and the other is very civil. It depends on their take. And the transition from mild to mad is always possible.

The real answer is Christian evangelism. The mild sentiments echo those of both Judaism and Christianity. The mad sentiments are those of the devil.

Well, that is just rude!

They should have a sign up saying Trump supporters are not welcome.

I guess you have to read the whole article:
/snip
The eatery profusely apologized for the customers being told “hell, no, I’m not serving them.’’ The employee’s reaction was not only indefensible, it was illegal and also very stupid, because turning away Trump supporters would mean a tremendous loss of revenue on a percentage basis.

“You should not be discriminated (against) based on who you support, whether it be for Bernie, Hillary or Mr. Trump,” Riggs told a TV station. Bingo.

A Cook Out spokesman said the employee was immediately terminated and the family given a refund. It is not known if the manager shouted, “You’re fired!” in the truest tradition of Trump, but to the aggrieved family’s credit, they said they didn’t want anyone fired, they just wanted the guilty party to be set straight in no uncertain terms.
/snip

This was one employee acting out, and getting fired for it, and the people were served. No story here other than they behaved, as a company, as they should have. Well done.

How do some people feel when they find themselves in one of the many no go zones in the United States. They may leave with broken bones, gunshot wounds or they may not leave at all but is that considered discrimination?

The tolerant sentiments toward unbelievers expressed in Mohammad’s earlier pronouncements are overruled by the violent sentiments of his later pronouncements. This is a rule given by the false prophet himself. When there is contradiction in his messages, the more recent thing he said overrules what he said earlier. And he spent his last years as a blood thirsty ISIS style monster, leaving that the official way of Islam toward those that either are not Islamic, or who are not Islamic enough. Which is why Muslims who do not want any part of Jihad are under sentence of death by those who are true to the false prophet.
