A New York City bar has issued a statement distancing itself from a bartender who was filmed refusing to serve a man wearing a “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) visor.

A statement posted to the Facebook page for Jake’s Dilemma, located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, responded to outcry over footage posted by Dion Cini.
Cini claimed on March 7 that he was “kicked out” of the bar for wearing a red MAGA visor. His video shows a male bartender confirming that he won’t serve an irate Cini.
“You hate America?” Cini asks him, just before a third man, who appears to be a bouncer, tries to cut off the conversation and tells the Trump supporter to “take it outside.”
Though he initially appears calm during the interaction, the bartender eventually grows tired of Cini’s “soy boy” taunts. “Soy boy” is an insult used to accuse a man of not being masculine enough.
“Why don’t you get the f*** out?” the bartender fires back in the video.
The bouncer then tells Cini to leave, but he refuses. Cini demands that the police be called and continues to express his outrage over the objection to his hat.
“How many times did I wear this hat in this bar before?” he asks. “Probably 25, 30 times before. And this f***ing guy … now he’s going to set the rules for you guys? That’s a shame.”

Fantastic bar scene? All I mostly see hanging outside NYC bars are a bunch of noisy drunk a-holes. And I've lived in NYC for all but 1 of my 61+ years. There's 4 or 5 bars on a single block in some areas of the city. Almost entirely liberal types, millennials, so-called "hipsters", and drunk morons from out of town, most likely New Jersey and Long Island.
Good on you!
Because the Civil Rights Act and similar state and local laws do not prohibit discrimination based upon political speech or affiliation.
What would have happened if he was wearing a BLM hat? Black Lives Matter. Black hat with gold lettering.
> You could pack them in, going from place to place, getting thrown out.
Sounds like a plan to fund a pretty good retirement account.
While I disagree with his beliefs, I feel he has the right to do it. Before you flog me, what about the Colorado baker who does want to make wedding cakes for gays? Whether you agree or not with his action you must allow his choice.
He probably would have been given free drinks all night!

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey [Newton] rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

"Jussie and Jurnee still count their mother, Janet Smollett, as their only acting coach. An African-American from New Orleans, Ms. Smollett met their father, Joel Smollett Sr., a Russian-Polish Jew, in the Bay Area, where they campaigned for civil rights.
“My mom was in the movement with Bobby Seale and Huey Newton, and one of her first mentors was Julian Bond,” Mr. Smollett said of the Black Panther founders and the civil rights leader.
“To this day, Angela Davis is one of her dearest friends. We’ve spent Mother’s Day with Angela.”..."

PROFILE: ANGELA DAVIS
* Communist professor at the University of California’s Santa Cruz campus
* Recipient of the Lenin “Peace Prize” from the police state of East Germany in 1979
* Provided an arsenal of weapons to Black Panthers who used them to kill a Marin Country judge in a failed attempt to free Davis' imprisoned lover, Black Panther murderer George Jackson
* Icon of the campus Left and frequent guest speaker at anti-war rallies
* Leader of a movement to free all criminals who are minorities claiming that they are political prisoners of the racist United States
* “The only path of liberation for black people is that which leads toward complete and radical overthrow of the capitalist class.”
Angela Yvonne Davis is a tenured professor in the “History of Consciousness” program at the University of California - Santa Cruz.
A former member of the Black Panther Party, she is currently a “University Professor,” one of only seven in the entire California University system, which entitles her to a six-figure salary and a research assistant.
This income is supplemented by speaking fees ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 per appearance on college campuses, where she is an icon of radical faculty, administrators, and students.
Davis has also taught at UCLA and the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

"In 1970 Davis was implicated by more than 20 witnesses in a plot to free her imprisoned lover, fellow Black Panther George Jackson, by hijacking a Marin County, California courtroom and taking hostage the judge, the prosecuting assistant district attorney, and two jurors.
In an ensuing gun battle outside the court building, Judge Harold Haley’s head was blown off by a sawed-off shotgun owned by Ms. Davis.
To avoid arrest for her alleged complicity in the plot, Ms. Davis fled California, using aliases and changing her appearance to avoid detection.
Two months later, Davis was arrested by the FBI in New York City."

What a model citizen....for Cuba or Venezuela.
Well, maybe my opinion is skewed because I mostly hang with the after-work crowd. I can’t remember a single time where politics ever came up.
Sounds like Jake’s Dilemma is that he likes to be a catcher, but doesn’t want people to know..
...lefties don’t understand this. They believe their superior morals are beyond everyone. The end justifies the means, by any means necessary.
The word “like” is very popular with her generation, often being used multiple times in a single sentence. Of course, Shakespeare entitled one of his best plays, As You Like It. I would hardly think of Ocasio-Cortez as some Shakespearean character, though.
Yeah, I thought about it afterward and figured that was what you probably meant. Yes, those places are definitely better. They tend to be in different areas of the city than to where I was referring.
The national Presbyterian Church contributed $ 10,000 in church funds to Angela Davis’ legal defense fund. The same Church honored the Vietnam draft dodgers when they got amnesty; didn’t see that they did a damn thing for the Vietnam veterans. For these reasons, I no longer attend the Presbyterian Church; nor do about 75 percent of its membership which has left it.
It's typically the language of know-nothing airheads.
