An ice cream shop is at the center of ongoing protests in Gastonia. The ongoing protests are centered around Tony’s Ice Cream on East Franklin Boulevard. When police responded Wednesday night, they closed all roads near the business.

Thursday, Tony’s Ice Cream was closed. People came by to write supportive messages on their door. Police say the protests happened following some “civil disturbances” there at Tony’s Ice Cream on Monday and Tuesday. The crowd was being dispersed by police.

This is a nice family own ice cream shop that has been around forever. Everyone loves it and knows about it. This little twit had to come and make a big show.

Article and links are pretty thin on facts.

What exactly does Treated badly mean?

Did the customer exchange words with the cashier?

what words were spoken and by whom??

Sounds more like an uppity POS with a chip on her shoulder out looking for trouble, otherwise EVERYTHING the Cashier Said or Did would be front and center.

Any black wearing a BLM anything is trouble. They are looking for issues. And they’re impervious.

“Because there is a Black woman with a voice, ...”

Oh, so if I say White lives matter I’m just a White guy with a voice? Cool.

Someone rolled their eyes at the BLM button and we are off to the races.

The odds are that this was a perceived slight as opposed to an actual slight by the cashier. As you say, someone that is wearing BLM merch will be hyper-sensitive, or simply flat-out lie about being treated poorly.

The local Flea Market here in Pa is in a rural area. People of all types come every weekend, some even come from out of state.

A young black man showed up on Sunday with a Black Lives Matter T-shirt on. He was by himself and kept parading himself up and down the market. Never stopped to look at any of the items for sale.

Everyone just ignored him :)

They make sound like the button itself caused a disturbance instead of the snowflake wearing it.

That’s the best way to treat them - if it is at all possible - just ignore.

You got to know the employee used the n-word. That is a standard charge.

After a couple of generations of the divorce/cohabitation regime, there are too many personalities like the following (photo).

Might have been there once or twice in the late 80s.

Grew up not far from Gastonia.

Yep - and we can imagine how she was using that voice to cause a stir...
