I’m sorry....did you actually find any freepers physically defending these guys? Defending the little old lady who got spat on? Waco?

Well no. But for that to have happened we would have had to been there. I can guarantee you I would have stepped up as I'm sure you would have.

Your remark was a tad snarky.

See? I say no we did not. Neither one of us did. "Stepped up" as in physically there, yeah, very likely. But unless we ARE there and DO step up, a man has no business calling someone else a coward through a keyboard.

But in retrospect we could've given money to support these guys throughout the boycott or whatever.

Me? I was focused on deer this weekend and wasn't paying any attention to diners futures in LA. Honestly, California, other than parts of the Central Valley, is dead to me.

So having done nothing to help someone I didn't know in a place I consider already lost....this kept me from calling that person a coward, since I really have no position to speak from based on that.

When I see someone else calling out someone as a coward who also did nothing to help, as is so often the case on anonymous internet boards, I think that's the least someone can do to challenge that.

Your remark was a tad snarky.

Snarky, perhaps yes, thank you. Hypocritical, no.
