Some sort of tipping point seems to have been reached, with Sunday morning brunch patrons no longer willing to sit passively as noisy protesters attempt to guilt-trip them about being white, or having the disposable income to go out for a nice brunch, or something (in my view, mostly anger about being such losers). Gateway Pundit reports on the pushback in Atlanta and Minneapolis eateries yesterday. In Atlanta:
Black Brunch protesters invaded several Decatur, Georgia restaurants on Sunday. Protesters report two establishments called police, with managers from Sweet Melissa’s trying unsuccessfully to throw them out.

If only I’d known. I wasted Saturday morning on lawn work.
Georgia ping.
I wonder what would have happened if a person sitting down eating brunch had said, “Shut up, Barack & bring me a cup of coffee.”
Ran home to mommy and daddy after the mean people yelled at them, huh?
Is this just a rehash of stories from months ago, or are these new events?
These activists have the support and encouragement of the Obamas Im sure.
GA FReeper ping.
I’d like to get the real story of what went down in Decatur. While they’re pretty white / gentrified / Leftist overall (with a large black minority), they can also be pretty no-nonsense. For instance, they’ve been ripping out bike lanes and putting the pavement back to carrying real traffic.
it’s about time!!
Cannot figure out why restaurant staff doesn’t kick these goons out.
I’m sure it’s later. But this is possibly criminal disturbing the peace, isn’t it?
Social justice activists are ALWAYS wimps.
Thats why PETA goes after little old ladies in fur coats, and not Hells Angels in their biker leather.
Also why the IMF/World Bank protests in DC have been pretty sedate these last several years. After some minor rioting one year, the DC cops decided to haul the malcontents they arrested down to lockup in Anacostia rather than the usual 2nd District tank (a few blocks down from National Cathedral). The punks got the message and decided it was in their best interests to settle down.
If you have to go to a blog, might as well go to Gateway Pundit, where FReeper Kristinn posts the original story that “americanthinker” re-blogs.

I didn’t even realize this was still happening.
Haven’t seen a thing about it in the press since the first couple weekends of the nonsense. I assumed it had just fizzled out.
These “protesters” need a thorough ass kicking.
A sincere discussion about race would ensue, I’m sure.
If this happened to me I would tell the server they have 5 minutes to get the thugs to leave or I will not pay for the meal.
#BlackBrunch demonstrations in major cities spark backlash

Why can’t these people just get jobs and join civilized society already?
There is a REALLY good idea.
:-)
Many decades ago, I lived a stone’s throw from downtown Decatur. I graduated from Druid Hills High School on the doorstep of Emory University and the CDC. I knew it well. I haven’t been back since I came back from the military - likely will never go back.
I couldn’t begin to tell you the demographic makeup of the environ now, but I’d guess from the fact I’ve never received a reunion invitation from my former alma mater it is not the same.
That really is no matter and I’m not disheartened by it. What disheartens me is if citizens become protesters and advocate for a dogma that only seeks publicity and some special favor for a cause not worth supporting..
