The owner of a Washington, D.C. restaurant where Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and his wife were heckled by a group of protesters earlier this week, said staffers have received life-threatening messages in the wake of the incident.
Two one-minute video clips were posted to the Twitter page of a group called Smash Racism DC, where protesters could be heard chanting, We believe survivors!

An activist shouted can be hear shouting Sexist, racist, anti-gay! while a woman quizzed the Texas GOP senator whether he believes the women making the allegations against Kavanaugh. The federal judge has denied all allegations made against him.
The couple was escorted out of the restaurant through a side entrance, before being brought back in later through the kitchen after to enjoy the rest of their meal, according to the statement.
While Trabocchi noted he is not in the business of hospitality or public safety, the restaurant owner said he has implemented additional safety measures to ensure the ongoing and future privacy, safety and security for our staff and guests.

It requires respect, listening, and sometimes a little etiquette, like keeping your elbows and politics off the dinner table.

The death threats are from leftists who are furious that the staff put out their fellow travelers and allowed the Cruz family to finish their meal.
Let's give it a try, although in a much more civilized manner. Quietly surround them and begin prayers that their hearts be changed so they no longer want to kill babies. They'd hate that more than being loudly berated!
Which appears to be what was done, as expeditiously as possible given a lack of armed security.
No such law? Really? What kind of small business did you own? Anything open to the public? No matter, this is a restaurant, maybe slightly different than an auto parts store. If you think you have no responsibility for what goes on in your establishment, i think your insurance agent would like to have a chat with you.
One last time, the restaurant owner and staff handled the situation. If one of the staff called in the mob, hopefully the owner will figure it out and fire him or her.
My business was open, and my responsibilities were typical safety precautions, not fighting a mob to protect customers. If insurance covers that, I’d hate to see the premiums. Perhaps bars and nightclubs with armed bouncers can afford that kind of insurance, not retail stores like mine. Our insurance covered inventory and accidents, not invasions.
Again, you said businesses have no responsibility to protect its customers. I said youre wrong. I am right.
