Rioters in Atlanta decided to spare a local Waffle House, amid an otherwise uninterrupted rampage through the city Friday evening.

Video uploaded to Twitter shows the rabble-rousers descending on the iconic breakfast chain before an ad hoc group decision was made to leave it alone.

“Not the Waffle House,” several protesters cried, with others shouting, “No, no.”

Another man said, “Protesters decide to leave Waffle House alone. Atlanta is amazing.”

It was a rare bright spot during a night of otherwise consistent chaos and arson, particularly of small and local businesses. The riots were ignited after George Floyd was killed at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on Monday. Chauvin has since been fired and charged with third-degree

When World War III Is over and the entire world is a smoking ash heap of radioactive nuclear rubble, there will be one place left standing intact where you can get a decent order of scrambled hashbrowns and a good cup of coffee.

The Waffle House

Waffle House has a strong following in the Black community, both as patrons and employees. The one nearest me is such that as a White I am usually in the minority — and always treated well.

Well of course, they’ve got to have a place to go for breakfast after a long night of looting, and pillaging.

Yes, I’m aware. Deciding not to burn down a place many of they frequent doesn’t make what they’re doing any better.

Well, at least these must have been locals, probably college students, since Waffle House is a favorite place to go in the middle of the night (stoned or drunk) and sit until you can stand up again at dawn.

“Give me liberty or give me death.”
“I have not yet begun to fight.”
“Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.”
“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.”

“Not the Waffle House.”

At least we know that some things are sacred.
What about that other Midwest Icon; the White Castle?

Look at those men protecting the cop. Look at their ages. These are mature men, not spoiled youths.

There’s nothing better than a short stack with eggs and coffee after a hard night of looting.

“Protesters decide to leave Waffle House alone. Atlanta is amazing.”

Sometimes the quote stands alone.

Leave Waffle House alone,destroy CNN.

It makes as much sense as anything.

Did the leaders have information that the manager of the WH was armed and ready to go?

Possibly this Waffle House is owned or managed by Koreans...
We know how they successfully protect their property from looters..

For the antisocial, pathological element, a riot is a liberation for them to go on a rampage. Yet even rioters are capable of recognizing limits — in this instance, a Waffle House.

I think the cop protectors also realize that they will still live there after the Antifa agitators have left, and if the cops have one of their own violently killed, then playtime will be over, and a lot of cops will not care what the police commissioner thinks.

You could be right. Or, they could be decent people who see everything that is so wrong about all of this and took action to help a fellow human being.
