Missouri Bar Draws Criticism for Michael Brown Tequila Shot Special

Mug Shots Pub, a St. Joseph bar that touts itself as a spot “where sarcasm is always free,” has faced public scrutiny after offering a Michael Brown shot special over the weekend.

The “Michael Brown special” – six shots of Jose Cinge for $10 – faced criticism on both social media and from protesters after the Mug Shots bar offered the deal Friday, WDAF-TV reports. At least one of the bar owners apologized for the deal after a photo of the special’s ad surfaced on social media outlets.

“It’s not meant to cause any harm,” he told WDAF on Saturday. “I should have thought a little bit more about it before I made it a shot special.”

I have noticed on more than a few CBS online stories they will not allow comments. I wonder why they only want to spread their propaganda and not allow public feedback. Tells everything one needs to know about that...

That’s a heck of a deal though, 6 shots for $10.00.

Do enough rounds of those, and you would be acting like Brown soon enough.

There’s a dead guy, there’s millions of dollars in property damage, it’s not a joke.

It is all one giant joke. His life, a joke. His parents, a joke. The kerfuffle over his death, a joke. The political posturing, a joke. All the articles, jokes.
The property damage that happened because the Governor of our State of Missouri is, wait for it, a joke!

Oh, as far as a dead mother’s son, damned shame. Her shame and her sperm donor’s shame.

From the article:

“has faced public scrutiny after offering a Michael Brown shot special over the weekend.”

Sorry, but I lol’d.

As far as the millions of dollars in property damage... I think you still had to pay for the shots, they weren’t free, and you can’t just take them.

Too soon?

Well, here’s the solution for being offended: don’t give them any business. Enough people do that, the bar will realize it was a bad call and fix it, or go out of business, which would be the ultimate punishment, right?
