Protesters demand gas stations shut down after violent fight goes viral

PITTSBURGH - A fight at a gas station on Pittsburgh's North Side was recorded on video and went viral on social media.

Police said multiple people are now facing criminal charges, and the videos led to a protest Saturday and Sunday.

For the second straight day, dozens of people gathered outside two Pittsburgh gas stations to protest the owners.

Police also were back at the Exxon gas station after they said two customers were violently attacked by an owner and employee. Officers went into the gas station as they continue their investigation, collecting evidence throughout the day.

On Sunday, protesters told Channel 11 they know the girls involved and that they are not the type of people to start fights. Protesters also said they plan on holding a press conference Monday morning to address the beating.

Police said they were called about 6:45 p.m. Friday to the gas station on Brighton Road for a report of a fight between the male gas station owners and two female customers.

They haven’t released the names of the gas station owner and employees, but I suspect they are Middle Eastern.

The owners were likely Chaldean, as most of the station owners here in S.E.Michigan are. There is no love between the two races......

It should also be mentioned that virtually every party store and gas station in Detroit are owned by middle easterners. They're the only ones willing to put up with the citizens of that city.

The owner of my local Marathon used to have a station in Detroit and you should hear some of the problems he had. He finally had to come out here to the subs........

In many urban areas gas stations are fronts for selling Chinese synthetic and other drugs:

Search the page for “gas stations” for more info.

According to the article, the argument was about some spilled gas, which the women wanted a refund for. The gas station guys attitude apparently was, you spilled it, you bought it.

It escalated from there.

Typical garbage fake news.

Read it and learn absolutely nothing about the story, there is absolutely no actual news here.

Do I? Were ‘youths’ involved, driving jalopies and tipping over glasses at the malt shop?

Nope. It's the usual, and of course there is the token white millennial liberal under the Exxon sign with the requisite backpack no doubt shrieking about racism and white privilege and white supremacy while flapping his hands and stamping his feet....

What is Roberta protesting, exactly? That she and others - probably including those in the camera frame - have raised another litter of feral punks?

The BLM earrings (coasters?) are a nice touch. BLM is and was a Soros creation. It is amazing to watch a huge swathe of people drink barrels of Kool-Aid.

Very few people have the half million often required to open a gas station, unless they are from the Middle East or India and are bringing over their entire wealth of the clan.

Saw this on the local news. According to the cops and the store security camera the two ghetto broads started the whole thing. They instigated the fight. The Muslim guys were having none of it and threw them out with a a$$ kicking. The local media whores couldn't get on this story fast enough.

"The owner of my local Marathon used to have a station in Detroit and you should hear some of the problems he had. He finally had to come out here to the subs."

Yeah... I remember when, I think it was mooshell (?), was talking about "food deserts".. All the grocery stores had to close because the local natives didn't like paying for their stuff..
I suppose "givesmedat" becomes the prevailing mindset when you become "WOKE".. :)

"The gas station's security cameras inside the store show the women initiating the argument."

If the two black cows initiated the "argument" why are the owner and employee being charged?
