Thursday’s carnage in Dallas, just 200 miles to the north of College Park, elevated Chick-fil-A’s previous act of support for police to what could be seen in the future as an act of courage.
The popular fast food chain Chick-fil-A has never been a stranger to controversy, and has always weathered the storm with self-confidence and a cheery smile.
But a position at one of its Texas locations that was noble last November could put the sandwich-making outfit on the receiving end of more than mere hate speech in this environment — it could lead to violence, if recent events are any indication.
In a move that left law enforcement officers grateful, but may have ruffled the feathers of “Black Lives Matters” supporters, the College Park, Texas Chick-fil-A location began supporting law enforcement with a T-shirt design, that appropriately says, “Back the Blue,” and the restaurant proudly displayed it on its Facebook page.
The location wanted to “show our support for Police Lives Matter” because “they are out on our streets every day,” restaurant manager Eli Advincula told TheBlaze at the time.
In November the restaurant was countering the acts of employees at other restaurant chains, who would, for example, write “BlackLivesMatter” on the cups of coffee intended for law enforcement officers.
Black Lives Matter groups and U.S. liberal politicians have caused the “morally justified” hate to grow to dangerous levels.
God help us all when even a tee-shirt could become dangerous.
Good move. I had not thought of that. Thanks.
You are probably on to something there, My FRiend. But as far as I am concerned, so be it.
Download the Chick-fil-a app and get a complimentary sandwich.
BLM should be doing the collections for the families of the slain cops.
That would imply that they actually care.
That is tragic.
“That would imply that they actually care.”
I think it’s safe to assume that Kleenex’s were NOT in short supply at their private meetings after the shootings.
The food’s good. It’s the service that’s amazing.
They’re going to have trouble if they try to cause trouble in Texas Chick-Fil-A’s- There are probably concealed carriers there eating. I know that there’s one when I’m there...
Those bastrds don’t even own their company, built on the American ideal of fre markets.
I love hearing from hippies from lily-white locales regarding racial harmony.
I could say the same about the Chic-fil-A near my office. The only reason I don’t go there for lunch is that it is so crowded. The food is great. The price is reasonable. And the employees are always cheerful! I rarely ever go to any other fast food place.
That and their long support of gays and selling baby body parts is why Ben and Jerry’s is never in my freezer. And Starbucks. And J.C. Penney. And Target. And Oreos. And Jell-O. And Disney. And Wells Fargo. And Exxon. And 17 pages of other companies.
Kudos to Chick-fil-A for being on the side of what is good and decent but businesses shouldn’t get into the political racket.
Check their site for locations coming soon here: http://www.chick-fil-a.com/Locations/Openings
The #1 reason you want to know about a new store coming is for Chick-Fil-a's FIRST 100 promotion. When you are one of the first 100 people at the new location, you get a card with 52 free #1 meals. http://www.chick-fil-a.com/Locations/First-100
The process to be one of the first 100 isn't typical so read the rules carefully. I got to participate last December and it was super fun. It's also been nice to know anytime I want Chick-fil-a, I can stop by for a free #1 meal.
Blinders on by Ben & Jerry. They refuse to see that it is BEHAVIOR that results in incarceration.
