Owners of Mexican restaurant north of Tucson targeted on social media after Trump rally

Cathalena E. Burch Feb 29, 2020

The owners of a Mexican restaurant in Catalina are fending off social media attacks after appearing in the VIP area at Donald Trump's Phoenix campaign rally last week.

A member of the Grupo de Palfeis Facebook group on Wednesday posted a screengrab image from the Feb. 19 rally that showed Sammy's Mexican Grill owner Betty Rivas standing behind Trump, donning a red cowboy hat emblazoned with "Latinos Love Trump."

“Very ugly stuff. They are saying nasty stuff about the restaurant," owner Jorge Rivas said Friday, a day after he and his wife posted a video on Facebook defending their rights as "naturalized American citizens" to vote, support and meet whomever they please.

This is not the first time that the business owners were threatened by Democrat thugs. In 2016 they tried to shut the successful business down. Trump supporters need to patronize the business and show support for those owners.

Yet another reason to buy guns and ammo. Leftists will use whatever tool at their disposal to hurt you and I. They will eventually come to kill you.

Without a doubt. One on one, they’re nothing but chickenshit, but they’ll gang up and pull this stuff.
Yep. They’d kill all of us IF they thought for one second that they could get away with it without being shot. It’s not just Trump they’re after....they’re after all of us. Trump just happens to stand between these animals and us.

So, if the left gets into power, does anyone reasonably think they WON’T target normal people for repression and harassment?

I will pass on the mind changing drugs. Instead, I will list countries that all have at least one thing in common. Think anyone can guess what that commonality is?

Cuba - 1960 to present day
Venezuela - 1999 - present day
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics - 1917 - 1989
Deutsche Demokratische Republik - 1946 - 1989
Vietnam - 1975 - present day
Cambodia - 1975 - 1979
China - 1958 - 1962 and to present day

I will stop there.

I’d love to go but a tad out of the way.

These braying hyenas and troll armies are bullies who need to be confronted.

The media is complicit and has blood on their hands.

You are a little naive. Leftist revolutions have been consistently bloody. Look at Cuba, China, the Soviet Union, North Korea, and let’s not even get started about Angola or the Congo. It’s not something that can happen somewhere else to somebody else, it’s the ideology that’s the unifying factor in a buttload of bloodshed and misery.

Maybe I’m missing something, but who gives a rat’s patoot what some morons say about you on Facebook or Twitter? Those people aren’t likely to be your customers anyway. How is it worse than getting scolded here for saying something dumb? Perhaps it’s a big deal, but I don’t get it.

"Jorge Rivas said they have gotten a few nasty phone calls this time, but no one has caused any damage to the restaurant, which they opened in 1996, or made threats of violence."

Sorry Jorge.

You want your right to freely associate and support your candidate. These people have their right to tell you what they think.

In the recent past some business owners have succesfully sued some online posters for libel and defamation. Unfortunately it takes a fair amount of money to find the actual name of the online poster and then the legal action after that.

Although I am not a big fan of this type of legal action, it has been proven to be a damper on some of the online fanaticism. Unfortunately some businesses use this to purge the net of negative reviews leaving only the better references.

If I get down there (I live not that far away) I certainly will eat there.

Hopefully the locals will support a good business.

As for the progressives, well, CW-II will hopefully remind them of their place at the very bottom of civilization.
