We are trying to get more details of the story and the Youtube video contains offensive language. There seems to be conflicting facts and everyone needs to remain calm till we can get all the facts. Could someone please tell the National Guard Soldier to please come forward?
A young soldier in uniform went into a Texaco station in Bogalusa, LA, a day or so ago and was told by a Muslim owner, possibly a Pakistani, that they "don't serve your kind here."
The locals in Bogalusa didn't take kindly to this affront and organized a boycott of the place, blocking half of the paths into the gas station and holding up signs of protest. An American Legion Hall is across the street from the gas station and the speaker promises Vietnam and Gulf War vets joining the protest on Saturday. I agree with the speaker's statement that this will become a national news story - at least on the internet. He is really pissed (who can blame him?) and he defiantly refers to the Muslims as "rag heads." This is only the beginning of this backlash. In the video's first day it already had close to 10,000 hits on YouTube. It is now up to 20,000 viewers. I believe it could go viral, meaning over 400,000 people could wind up watching this to help make it a story the mainstream media cannot ignore.
HATE SPEECH!
If the story is true, this gas station needs to be driven out of business.
Diaper heads is more appropriate, as they have excrement for brains.
Who is going to do the honors of posting’Tommy Atkins’ by Rudyard Kipling then?
This is week old news.....all settled ages ago.
From a Flukin' Muzzie? Where the hell are the Muzzie asskissers from the aCLU?! This better not EVER happen to me. EVER!
Obama and his supporters in the Congress
support HASAN and TERRORISTS more than they
support US soldiers.
IMPEACH.
OK, Joe, sorry, I didn’t know.
What was the outcome?
So what happened?
Soldier never came forward....Station Owners put up a sign apologizing.....not clear if the whole thing was just a misunderstanding or what....

You're on the right track, but not quite there.
Actually, they wear little sheets ... therefore, it is most appropriate to refer to them as little sheet heads.

Facebook protest affects business
"..The owner of a Bogalusa truck stop whose business has been at the center of a controversy fueled by posts on the social media website Facebook said she wants to meet face to face with the gentlemen who was allegedly denied service.
A Facebook post Thursday said that a man, who was allegedly standing in line behind a National Guardsman at SP Truck Stop on Louisiana Highway 10, heard the counter attendant tell the guardsman, “we don’t serve your kind here.”
Protestors almost immediately gathered in front of the business and have remained there, although on the owner’s property. The protestors are flying American flags as well as a black POW flag.
“I have not spoken with the guy,” the store’s owner, Savi, who is of East Indian descent, said Monday evening. “I want to talk with the guy.”
She said she has asked several people as to the identify of the man but no one knows..."
LOL
I take it this Paki is still able to walk and that there’s no mechanical trouble at this station. Yes?
Mom is dead, I'm VERY careful about getting stricken with another wife... but I did ask my daughter about the burka thing... Her reply?
"I'll be damned before I wear one of those things. I didn't score expert on grenades to wear a burka."
I figure she'll be ok. Her older sister may not do so well.
