Of course, now it all makes sense...

It began when Palo Alto resident Rebecca Parker Mankey attempted to shame an elderly white man wearing a red Make America Great Again hat as he sat in the coffeehouse — an encounter she later wrote about on social media. Calling him a "hater of brown people," Mankey said she yelled at him and addressed Starbucks customers and employees to join her in her effort. She said she left the store but soon returned and continued to yell at him. Mankey said she was "heartbroken" that other white people didn't stand up against the man wearing what has become for some a symbol of hate. She followed him out of the store to the parking lot, where she continued to berate and swear at him.
She called the man "Nazi scum" and threatened to post pictures of him on social media, which she then did, along with her version of the incident on her Facebook page and on Twitter. She asked the public for help finding him — "I want him to have nowhere to hide," she wrote -- a practice called "doxing," or posting personal contact information to encourage threats and harassment.
The incident has had repercussions not only for Mankey, who said on Tuesday she's received death threats and was fired from her job as an accountant, but also for her former employer, Gryphon Stringed Instruments. Staff at the store said they were inundated with angry phone calls and emails Monday and Tuesday.

This state I live in has completely gone off the rails.
Hate is good when we do it.
Of course, now it all makes sense...
And her designated symbol of racism is... Jewish. Nice touch.
Is this the picture of this crazy, evil woman?
Yes. Too bad for her. Fat, ugly, and insane is a terrible way to go through life.
“Political polarization”
Leftspeak for Fascist behavior by a fellow traveler that they cannot make excuses for.
This stuff is going on everywhere. These people are so emotionally fragile that they cannot control their actions. Over a word. Or a hat.
Nothing is ever about substance.
It always seems to be a symbol or a slogan that sets them off.
Thanks to Barry the Barker...”get in their face”.
The fuse has been lit!
Where does her husband work? /s
Did you say "Mankey"?
That’s not my mankey...
I wear my MAGA hat when I’m out in public by myself. I don’t want friends or family near if a “tolerant” lib decides to start something. I have only recieved positive comments. I know it’s Texas, but I am in a large city. They usually only confront minors or the elderly, but someone will eventually make the mistake of confronting me. Things like this will continue until the consequences/repercussions are severe.
I thought you said your dog does not bite.
That is not my dog.
Oh snap!
If that thing purports to be a straight female, what man in his right mind would want to get into a relationship with her? I’m female myself, so would welcome the perspective of FR’s men.
the headline suggests the elderly man was somehow involved in sparking the confrontation. no he wasn’t.
I wouldn’t spend a nickel at Starbucks.
This is the image America has of kalifornia. This is why America loathes those people. Insanity on parade.
they are not fragile, they are not insane they are evil.
that very dangerous perspective of I want what I want and I will maim or kill to get it.
