Dozens rallied outside the New Apple Red Nail Salon Tuesday evening, increasing the calls for the shop to remain closed for good.
The salon became the center of controversy earlier this month after a viral video showed a fight between customers and several employees. The employees are seen hitting the customers with broomsticks and throwing nail polish remover.
State Senator Jesse Hamilton was scheduled to join the demonstration Tuesday evening.
“We are working with the Nail Salon Association and we spoke to the women who are protesting to have a meeting,” Senator Hamilton explained. “We are setting up a meeting now to have a resolution, maybe more cultural sensitivity training for salon owners to make sure this doesn’t happen again."
“We need an apology from the owner and there needs to be more arrests in this incident.”
One of the employees, Huiyue Zheng, was arrested, but several protestors believe all the staffers seen on video striking the customers should be arrested.
The case is now being handled by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.
“We have been reviewing evidence that was not available at the onset of the case, interviewing additional witnesses and are committed to a fair and thorough investigation,” said a spokeswoman for the Brooklyn DA’s office.
Customer Christina Thomas was also arrested and faces third degree assault charges.
It’s a no brainer. “The Oppressed Black Minority card” trumps “the Hard Working Asian card” every time.
Din’t do nuffin.
I guessed before I watched the video.
And yep. I was right.
“more cultural sensitivity training”
Yeah, that ought to do it.
Has Sharpton shown up yet?
I want to see the NY Times new Asian chick’s take on this. Can’t blame white males now.
He’s out of town at a spelling bee this week.
Korean Grocery protest redux
Yep, right. Those BLM tshirts and African flags all over not wanting to pay for a supposed bad $5 eyebrow job. Next time, maybe they should pluck their own brows.
Probably got what she ask..., er, “axed” for, but it wasn’t what she wanted.
This is not a no-brainer. On the one hand you have hard-working Asians who basically used force to keep a non-paying customer (Black) from leaving the store, even using a broom to beat on her.
On the other hand you have oppressed Black minority who don’t appreciate that many in this country, especially Asians who have shops in their neighborhoods have very little respect for them. Not saying the lack of respect isn’t warranted, but this lack of respect is resented, as might be expected.
I don’t know if arrests of the employees is warranted or not, but I’d be very surprised if the nail salon in question ever reopens.
hopefully
What be dese ferals axin’ for?
And while he is back next week he is scheduled to be dealing with interlopers and diamond merchants all week long.
They’re guaranteeing more Asian business owners won’t want black customers ... for their literal safety.
Paraphrasing the Nation’s biggest tax cheat and race baiter ..
It’s those damned Asian Interlopers!
Discrimination against orientals.
Happens all the time in Progressive Ghettos ... one privileged minority group attacking another privileged minority group.
