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.”

If I lived in Palo Alto, or anywhere around there, I would put on my MAGA hat and hang out at this Starbucks.

Freepers in this area, you should do this. Even if just to get a cup of overpriced coffee!!

Unless we take the streets back again, we’ve lost in yet another arena (education, culture, tv, movies, technology, the media, etc).

The part of this that really chaps my hide ...?

Palo Alto Human Relations Commissioner Steven Lee said ...

“The MAGA hat at its best represents a distorted and inaccurate view of America, its history and its place in the world and, at its worst, is a symbol of hate and everything that is wrong with America today,” Lee wrote. “We resist intolerance. But we do not resist people. We must resist sinking down to their level. We must hold out our hand and help pull them out of the muck.”

A hat does all that???

Starbucks was not her employer, it was a music shop, Starbucks was the scene of her mental breakdown.

Apologies for my unwarranted snark in #61

I tend to doubt that this Victor needs anyone’s protection, but no one deserves to be harassed and intimidated just being in public. The aggression being displayed to Americans toward americans is directly do to the expressed permissiveness and encouragement in the ‘news’ media.

Imagine if this sort of public harassment were to be documented toward a gay man or lesbian. Yeah. I rest my case.

Sorry, I noticed she was married to a man after reading the article.

Wanted to be sure I didn’t violate the FR requirement to post before reading. haha

Poor kids, though.

I am going to go against the current. Her being hired or fired by Gyrphon Music should be unrelated to her conduct outside of her employment.

Yes, only an agitator could post something like that.

The result of over-employed.

I hope the customer lawyers up and sues Starbucks and the POS leftist freak.

Speaking of cultural appropriation...

I’m sick of seeing illegals carrying smartphones. Our culture created that technology and they have no business using it.

Do they see us walking around wearing Mexican Sombreros while eating toco salads? NO. And they damn sure need to STOP using computers, cellphones, cars, radios, and planes...

Everyone in Palo Alto needs to start wearing a MAGA hat just to oppose this kind of thinking. Before it becomes law or legal harassment.

Even if you aren’t a Trump fan. It’s like a hundred slaves, one after another, rising up and saying “I am Spartacus!”

Criminy what a freak - I’d truly enjoy watching her flop around on the deck with a face full of pepper spray.
