KENTWOOD, Mich. — American Legion officers say they were told they weren't permitted to wear their affiliated jackets at a Dave & Buster's in Michigan because they showed evidence of gang affiliation.
Victor Murdock and Adrienne Brown of the American Legion Riders Post 179 out of Grandville say they were told they couldn't wear their vests inside the Kentwood restaurant. The vests have patches of the American flag, the Prisoner of War flag and a bald eagle.
The Texas-based company said in a statement that the group was asked to remove the jackets or turn them inside out because the business' dress code prohibits evidence of gang affiliation. Spokeswoman April Spearman said the policy was in place "to ensure that everyone is able to enjoy themselves in a fun and safe environment."
"Though we understand that the American Legion promotes a positive mission, for consistency reasons we cannot allow motorcycle jackets displaying patches or rockers," she said.
Murdock said he doesn't see how the policy would apply to American Legion affiliates.
"I get it," he said. "Everyone has to have a policy to keep the unwanted element out. But an American flag and a bald eagle does not represent a gang element."

Never did and still don’t like Dave & Busters.
[shudder] Hooligans if ever I saw one ...
Yep. Because they all went through the group-think, dumbing factories which embed dependency and fear of man and our “legal” system now punishes the virtuous to reward vice and evil. We have a Vice System which promotes slavery, theft (welfare), sodomy (pedophilia) and baby-killing.
-totally irrational socialist nation. We removed Natural Law and Right Reason from our Justice system-—all unconstitutional.
Those “gangs” are bands of vets. That scares the beejebers out of the left.
I guess the “V for Victory” hand sign is just another Gangbanger sign like you see in Rap and Hip Hop Music Videos.
You learn something new every day.
I live about 45 minutes east of Syracuse, but since I haven't been to that mall in years, I had no idea one of these places was there. All the more reason not to visit. The last time I was there, they had a large portion of the parking lot blocked off for the construction to expand the mall. It was a nightmare trying to find a handicapped spot, but there were plenty of parking spaces for people driving electric cars...and they were all empty. I swore I'd never go back, and haven't since.
They don't ask the HA's, Mongols and such to "remove" their colors, they just don't let them in. How stupid is the management that can't discern the American Legion (on patch) to the HA's? And yes, I support their dress code policies rights for a private company. Still, AMERICAN LEGION? Sheesh.
Looks like my kind of gang!
As if I needed another reason not to go to one of those dumps....
With all respect to Laz ,I wouldn’t do a woman I picked up in Dave & Buster’s with Laz’s d***
The glasses are a dead giveaway.
Killing me!
