Was the Starbucks Incident a Setup?

I thought about it, and I realized that it wasn't so long ago that such minor travesties and often much, much worse were things black people lived through every day.

I thought about it, and I realized that it wasn't so long ago that such minor travesties and often much, much worse were things black people lived through every day. While it was never something I ever had to worry about in my life, millions of minorities did have to worry about things like that.

That being said, I think what happened at the Starbucks in Philly doesn't pass the sniff test. Two black men went in, sat down, and apparently went unnoticed for a period of time until one got up and asked to use the restroom. When told it was only for customers, he declined the opportunity to purchase something and returned to his associate at their table. After another unspecified period of time elapsed, the manager, a woman named Holly, asked them to either purchase something or leave. They said they were waiting for someone, did not want to buy anything, and wouldn't leave. More time passed, the option was again proffered, and the double-refusal was again the response. That's when Holly called "the man."

The "screws" arrived and made the same offer as Holly, three times. And just as many times, it was refused. As they were slipping on the cuffs to take them to the "big house," the ever-elusive "friend" magically appeared. You get the picture: it was a setup. Why wouldn't the "friend" just buy a cup of Joe so they could all sit down and chant, "No justice, no peace"? How did he already know not to? How did he know to soldier on for the cause

Of course. Two punks decided to become millionaires, so they went to Starbucks, loitered, waited for someone to ask them to buy something or to leave, they didn’t do either, and then, following the handbook, were eventually lead out the door by cops. Now all they gotta’ do is sue Starbucks for racism, profiling, etc.

And the poor employee (soon to be wealthy) followed the book, got the punks thrown out, and then got herself fired.

Now, Starbucks gets it up their own butts from BOTH sides. I’m am thrilled that such a pathetic, overpriced, snobby company is going to have to make millionaires out of both sides. Love it.

FReepers found out that Charlottesville was a hoax — within 24 hours they figured out that fake “alt right” Charlottesville perpetrators were Obama Occupy people, a CNN employee and one of them was a Clinton State Dept guy.

They did it to try to make it seem like Trump’s base were racists.

Having said that, these crisis actors can instigate actual violence, but most of these incidents are “rent a mob” stagings.

Oddly, it was Andrew Breitbart before he died, who pointed this out about crisis actors. He interviewed some of the “protestors” at CPAC one year and... low and behold... they were paid union guys who had no idea why they were even protesting. They were just doing it for the paycheck at the end of the day because their union boss told ‘em to do it.

In urban areas, like this one, when you leave bathrooms unlocked, they fill up with homeless people.

I do believe the golf course incident was fabricated. Why didn’t they just let the other party play through? What irritated the personnel of the facility so?
We have been asked to leave a Ponderosa once. Laughing too loudly, I admit. Non minority, too.

they would sit down in the restaurants in town to see if anybody tried to refuse them service.

This is one of the almost uncountable reasons it's damn hard to just run a business these days. "Refuse them service", leftist mob attacks. Demand to serve them, as here, leftist mob attacks.

One would suspect it was a set-up, given how quickly Starbucks’ management responded (indeed, before few public facts were revealed), and how quickly the “remediation” plan was in place. Almost like it was already prepared.....

Also just like Obama’s government sponsored racial incidents and riots.

The facts have yet to be vetted in an open forum. In addition to the time line, we need to know what was said during the time line. So far, we have heard little about the manager’s side of the story. As in Charlottsville, the left got its side of the story out first.

This will be the scam of the day heading into the next election. They are organizing. Businesses beware.

Add it to the literal fake hate crimes list.

If the country really was as oppressive as liberals say it is, they wouldn’t have to stage so MANY fake offenses like this.

Other thing I noticed - they had an SJW white guy friend ready on call for “I’m coming, I was coming to meet them”.
Odd that he’s an hour or more late to meet people, and they aren’t saying “We’re waiting for X, he was supposed to be here at 1:23”.
Then again, the simple solution of buying 2 bottled waters was something they intentionally refused.

I did not know that, having only been in a Starbucks once in my life.

Makes sense in large cities.

Setup or not, on the same day as the Starbuck's kerfuffle, hundreds of thousands of African Americans were served in restaurants without incident. THAT is the norm, yet this one incident received unbelievably overblown coverage and was portrayed as the norm in outraged news coverage nationwide.

THAT is why it seems like a "setup," because of the way in which a minor incident - not even worthy of the local news - was used to spread a false narrative.

Meanwhile, Milo Y and a companion were forced to leave a New York restaurant when they were surrounded by a mob of chanting leftists who physically threatened them. The restaurant employees did nothing to stop it, and the story got minimal coverage.

I don’t see where this timeline came from.

It “seems” unrealistic. TWO MINUTES and you call the police?

Not credible.

I hope she sues. Surveillance video would show the REAL timeline.

The one perp said TWICE that he was cuffed and “double locked”.

Who says this? Twice even?

Obviously said to try to infuriate ignorant people who are unaware of what “double locked” is.

“The basic mechanism of a double lock involves a catch which, when engaged, checks the movement of the ratchet wheel to prevent it from tightening further.”

If you are cuffed, you WANT them “double locked”.

(For a real education watch “LIVE PD”).

Agree we haven’t seen the tape with the events as they happened. But I’d bet an
accurate time line can be known. With security cameras and tape I expect they
know the sequence and the police will have a record of the call time and when
they arrived.

I suspect the timeline will be close to what has been posted and wasn’t some
drawn out event. jmo

In current times, we must ask that question first. Every time.

4-12-18 Starbucks 911 Call, Dispatches and Officer Transmissions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFRP7QwlIH0&feature=youtu.be

****************

TWO MINUTES and you call the police?...

The timelines should be pretty well known if they had video
of the entrance door, etc. Police know their timeline.

I view the problem as one of failure to communicate on both sides.
She asked to help them and they should have responded - we are
waiting for someone and we’ll order when he gets here.
