BBQ Restaurant Cancels Catering Job with “Back the Blue” Police Supporters After Leftists Threaten to Burn Down their Business
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 6/30/20

Posted on 06/30/2020 8:40:34 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

A Tennessee business cancelled their catering job with police supporters after threats from the left.

Shuford’s Smoke House says leftists threatened to burn down their business after the accepted an order from “Back the Blue” police supporters.

One local business received backlash this week after they say they were falsely accused of making a political statement with the back the blue rally.

Owners of Shuford’s smoke house say organizers of today’s Back the Blue contacted them to order food for the event.

Shuford’s says they accepted the job because they believed it was another opportunity to offer their catering services.

Once it was publicly known they took the job , the business says they have been harassed and threatened on social media.

“It was not donated . It was not a reflection of our opinions -our political views” said Co-owner Madison Davis.

“It was literally just a business transaction and I think that’s where the misunderstanding comes in. We’ve never discriminated on what jobs we take. If someone comes to us with money wanting to buy food, we’re not going to turn away money because we are a business and that’s what we’re trying to run.”

Shuford’s says they cancelled the order because of threats to burn down their business.

Well the government sure as hell isn't doing anything about it. We are in a state of anarchy.

More than most know. City, county, state, and govt officials officially telling law enforcement not to enforce the laws when the victims are white or not the correct political party. Selective law enforcement and abuse of power is worse than no laws at all because you will lose your life contemplating a self defense decision.

What is he saying, he does not support the Police? It sounds like he is apologizing.

Since when is supporting the Police a “political” statement? Yeah I know, since now.

Post the exact link to the exact post you are referring too. If not then why did you post about a non-exhistant confrontational post you pu55y?

Honestly? What’s your beef?

The author at GP, Jim Hoft, properly attributed the article: “WDEF reported:” with a link on WDEF.

I never would have found it if Hoft hadn’t picked it up from WDEF and it weren’t re-aggregated here on FR. In the WWW world, collection, aggregation, re-aggregation of news items are all legitimate functions and serve to get news distributed far and wide.

Try to calm down.

Seems like extortion and terroristic threats.
But enforcing existing laws is so 20th century.

With any luck, the process of doing that is taking their time, making sure all the T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted.
We don’t want these punks to have any way to wiggle out of a sure conviction.

So the BFI will investigate and report in about a year or so then nothing will happen.

Who found out about the job to cater? Who made the threats on social media that can be easily tracked if there is a will to do so?

For how long? This is going to happen to every business in US from here on out.

Every statue, every church will have a black face/ black Jesus.

NBA court will BLM painted on their courts. Next up Football fields and soccer fields, baseball fields.

No anthem or flag at sports events

It’s going to be in your face.

I’m waiting for the WHITE HOUSE to be painted black.

You’re right I was headline scanning. My bad. I’m facing some similar situations, and it’s difficult. But I ain’t no PU55Y. Lol

So, one or more 7+ year olds can threaten any business & the business will refuse service to another?

In this case, I’d not be inclined to eat at this restaurant. The fearful, shaking hands of the staff might mess up my order.

To the management: You’ve just be outed as a coward. They will bully forever. Grow a pair. Get a gun & shoot the SOBs when they come to burn.

I’m in the food industry. I own a wedding venue. It’s called The Plantation on Sunnybrook. We have been threatened with arson because of our name. I can identify. I wasn’t being confrontational. I was defending this place because of my experience with a similar situation.

What ever happened to good old Tennessee boys that would make you wish you never threatened them? I’d have round the clock protection (I’m sure neighbors would volunteer to sit in shifts around the clock) and let the savages know if they see one within shooting distance with a match or cigarette lighter, kiss it goodbye! Crap, what’s happening to REAL MEN?????
