Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | April 17, 2017 | Hannah Parry

The Starbucks manager who called the police on two black customers for trespassing previously branded customers who didn't speak English 'rude'.

Holly Hylton managed the Center City Philadelphia store for a year and 'mutually parted ways' with the coffee chain after sparking a race row.

The 31-year-old asked the pair to leave after refusing to let them use the bathroom without buying anything, and called 911 when they stayed.

Video of the men, who were waiting for a friend, being dragged out in handcuffs sparked protests and forced the Starbucks chief executive to apologise.

Ms Hylton, a career hospitality manager, previously worked at Chipotle in 2009 and Smashburger in 2013, according to her social media.

“... where somebody gets arrested, it’s for being belligerent toward the cops. “

As a 16-year old I got caught doing something stupid while driving. Instead of admitting it, I made some snide remarks. So instead of just giving me a ticket, they brought me down to the small-town police station (I was out of state) and gave me the run-around and threatened to “lock-me-up.” I did calm down, but wasn’t scared. Finally the Sheriff walks in and asks me what’s going on as I’m sitting on the bench and I tell him.

“*&^% *&^%% You guys! You know &*%$ well you can’t arrest him for this. Now let him pay his fine and get him the &^%$ out of here!”

HOWEVER, it was a fairly cheap lesson that it is a lot easier to be polite to a cop than not. In fact, I would almost say that the best virtue is to be polite to everyone - up to a point of course. Like I tell my kids - one could be the biggest racist ever, but if he is polite to everyone, no one will ever know!!

My wife and I went to the movie and went into the theater just as the movie credits for the previous movie was ending. The lights went on and the cleaning crew were cleaning up. One of them came up and wanted to see out tickets, thinking we were going to watch the previous movie twice. I am sure if we didn’t have tickets, they would have asked us politely to leave. If we refused, our next request would not be so polite.

I imagine you could case it adequately after sitting long enough to consume one venti half-decaf frappuccino with extra whipped cream.

If having them arrested was the best way for her to finish her shift safely and get to her car and home safely, she did the right thing, even if Starbucks becomes the new Sambo’s Restaurant.

This is disturbing. Maybe this woman did the wrong thing. Maybe she should be fired. But posting her name and picture in an international newspaper and digging into her background to find dirt is wrong. She’s a private citizen. Now she’s a national target for SJWs. This is Orwellian. Average people who make the wrong kind of mistakes are being pilloried at a national and international level.

They are destroying an innocent woman. They are going to make her life miserable. Her employer willingly sacrificed her on the altar of PC. Disgusting.

You are correct, they are evil to the progressive/communists now, not real sure how they will extricate themselves from what the thought control commissars will do to them.

Did the perps have an arrest record? What is the information on the person they were waiting for? Were they there to make a drug connection?

I've never sat in a restaurant without ordering something.

Me either... these people weren't homeless or something were they? It doens't make sense to me... Same thing happen at Malls in Florida a few years back and 'the shoppers' quit going to malls. Some years ago public libraries were opened to 'the homeless and violent' - and people who wanted to use the library quit going...

I don't know the solution but one needs to be established ...

Remember, black lives only matter when there is money or publicity to be gained from using those black lives. Had the roles been reversed, we would have never heard one second of this issue. Meanwhile blacks kill blacks and every other race daily without a peep from anyone outside the losing family. There is no fame, money or publicity to be gained by making an issue out of black crime.

I doubt it.

Here in Oregon coffee shops are great places to meet after church or for a lunchtime snack and it’s quite common to see groups of people sitting off to the side, waiting for the other members of their party to arrive.

I think that’s all these guys were doing.

Now all the inner city blacks know they can go into a starbucks and LIVE there and if they try to throw them out you can claim racism and Starbucks will bend the knee...

We should encourage the Inner City blacks to start doing this, it might wake up some idiot libtards.
