Confrontation at Starbucks over ‘MAGA’ hat erupts (Palo Alto CA)
The Palo Alto Daily Post ^ | April 3, 2019 | ALLISON LEVITSKY

Posted on 04/04/2019 9:07:44 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

A south Palo Alto activist has been fired from her accounting job at Gryphon Stringed Instruments after chasing a man wearing a Make America Great Again cap out of Starbucks and then posting about the confrontation on Facebook.

Rebecca Parker Mankey, 46, was fired on Tuesday (April 2), the day after she yelled at a man with a bushy gray beard named Victor who regularly visits the Starbucks at 361 California Ave. in Palo Alto wearing a red MAGA hat. Mankey didn’t return the Post’s requests for comment.

“Anybody in Palo Alto know this freak?” Mankey asked in a widely shared Facebook post that included two photos of the man at Starbucks. “He will never forget me and will think seriously about wearing that hat in my town ever again. If you see him in this hat, please confront him.”

Yep. Here in Texas, it’s the same as assaulting a child.

I see your point.

Of course, my first thought was that anyone who walked into that store and saw her anywhere a customer might look would think “Hey, that’s the crazy guy...er...chick who attacked that guy in Starbucks!”

If it were some non-descript person, they might be able to claim anonymity, but not her!

So Navy ... if you served you know how the chain of command would have felt if you had berated a civilian or said disparaging things about your commander, or anyone really except a Marine of course. LOL It reflects on your employer if you publicly do bad stuff!

When I was "employed" by the Navy Dept., my employer informed me that I was expected to deport myself at all times as a credit to the Navy and the United States, whether at home or Foreign duty.

If I did not do so, I expected to be more than "fired".

(I believe you accidentally responded to "Jemian")

Speaking of cultural appropriation...

I think the toilet brushes of America should take offense at her obvious cultural appropriation of their look.

"... she yelled at a man with a bushy gray beard named Victor..."

Weirdo. My gray beard's neatly trimmed -- and, it certainly isn't named, "Victor" '-}

I corrected myself, after realizing my error, when I read the article more carefully.

No need to get so belligerent over small things.

As a young boy growing up in Palo Alto, I really thought there were almost no conservatives left in the world. I was almost completely alone.

The hat has magical powers! Trump is a wizard don't you know? It's the only explanation for the economy and manufacturing gains. Didn't Obama say you'd need a magic wand?

I don't know what's worse, the batsh*t crazy activist or the "human relations commissioner" giving no respect to the septuagenarian Jewish man who was threatened and called a Nazi for wearing a hat and drinking his coffee.
