Minneapolis man charged for altering Arby's sign to include offensive words
Fox 9 ^ | September 6, 2018

BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. (KMSP) - Brooklyn Center police have identified a suspect after someone rearranged the letters of an Arby’s sign so it contained two offensive words.

The sign above an Arby’s restaurant in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota reportedly contained a racist and a sexist word on it, prompting a police investigation Sep. 1.

Photos submitted by Fox 9 viewers showed the sign, which read “Now Hiring” across the top. Underneath that line, however, a racial slur and a sexist word were both displayed.

Thursday, Brooklyn Center Police charged Usindini Christopher Colling-Harper, 19, of Minneapolis for the crime. He admitted to creating the offensive message on the sign.

He has no known ties to Arby’s and was not employed by the restaurant.

An area McDonalds had a sign, “HIRING CLOSERS.”

Someone took away the “C”, so it said, “HIRING LOSERS.”

In Augusta, Maine, the moveable type on the sign in front of a fast food restaurant was wishing an employee a Happy Birthday.

Someone changed it, and it called the female employee the “C” word and then some!

“A few years ago, someone rearranged a local sign advertising “Breakfast With Santa” to “Breakfast with Satan” “

Are you sure it wasn’t just an advertisement for a Hilary fundraiser?

It’s not just kids but immature grown men, too. Back in college, some summer enrolled coaches changed the names of the dorm buildings. Everyone laughed and that was that.

Yes, and the ubiquitous “Fabius was here,” accompanied by a drawing.

I took Latin for 2 years in HS. I couldn’t do as well as Brian in this clip

To be honest, he did have help...

If that Arby's is in a black neighborhood wouldn't the sign just be using the local vernacular? Trying to relate to what they call each other and women? What's the problem? Can't use black-speak, white-speak is racist and not understood. Only thing left is 'now hiring people'.
Then those who 'identify' as non-human will claim offense.

The players kept changing the sign for the total expected victory and the ANNOUNCERS thought that was the funniest thing since granny caught her self in the clothes ringer.
I ‘m old enough(83) to know what a “clothes ringer” is and have seen 3 arms caught in them.
I also know what Grandma really caught in the Maytag!

I’m 69. Wife says I’m immature. Keeps one young. Though I have never changed a sign. Done = to or greater, in my salad days. Never ate much salad though.

Is this a contest where we try to name the words?

Seems to be the case. This is America after all, the "Can-Do" land of opportunity and vision.

A few years ago, someone rearranged a local sign advertising “Breakfast With Santa” to “Breakfast with Satan”.

In a Christmas homily objecting to secularization of the Holy Day, the pastor of our church referred to Santa Claus as Satan's Claws. This was back in the 1950s.

For eff’s sakes, what were the words?

Un-edited pictures of the sign are all over Twitter. It says "Now hiring < n-word > and whores".

So that means the sign said:

” Now Hiring niggers and whores.”

Well, what crime is Usindini Christopher Colling-Harper charged with by the Police? ( Remember , Minneapolis police culture hired Officer Mohammed Noor who shot and killed the Australian Lady who phoned in a sexual assualt and Noor is trying to wiggle out of a manslaughter charge, reduced by his Muslim l;awyers from Murder 3)

‘Colling-Harper now faces one gross misdemeanor count of Criminal Defamation, one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct and one misdemeanor count of public nuisance.”

Noto jump to any false conclusions in the absence of journalistic evidence or photos but “Usindini,” thats a Somalian or a Muslim name right? I bet he gets off Scot free, or with a slap on the wrist.

It would be interesting to see what the court does with him. After all it made customers yell unpleasantries through the Arby’s drive through intercom at staff,and made Arby’s receive a lot of threatening phone calls so they had to unplug their phones, just horrible?

If the state of Minnesota prosecutors can casually dismiss a murder-3 charge on a man like Noor, crazier than a bag of hammers, I doubt much will happen to Usindini. After all , white lives matter./S
