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

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.

They are too busy looking at garage doors.

You can't expect the FBI to do everything at once. If they have 15 agents investigating a serious crime like a rope for a garage door pull, you cannot expect them to also spare someone for mere terrorism.

Sounds nice.

Ooo, but your actions speak so loud I can not hear a word you are saying.

Sorry.

Maybe the coppers should consider ordering Korean barbecue!

The Koreans were instrumental in stopping the LA Riots if I remember correctly.......;)

See post 29. Easy to judge, but he/she does not know the owners’ situation and why they decided to bail.

Thank you for your clarification and thank you for staying strong. Your business is your livelihood and I support you 100%. It is a travesty that threatening arson and violence are now not enforceable laws if you do not aqueous to the violent pigs of our society.

Just wait to see how BLM is used by the Left in the month prior to the election in November.

They are going to pull out all the stops. They probably have billions of dollars to spend now, and are going to do a full court press on the weak-minded people, threatening to label them as racists unless they vote across the board for Leftists.

Anyone that speaks out against it will have the weight of this brought down squarely on them, personally.

BLM and the Left are flush with money, it is coming out their ears, and weak-minded people are tripping all over themselves not to be publicly branded racists.

It will be like nothing we have ever seen.

“Criminal terrorist threats. These leftists need to be put down like dogs.”

See anybody even attempting to put them down?

We could learn a lot from these terrorist dogs. Their tactics work like a charm and they know it. And there is no one on our side pushing back or terrorizing the companies and organizations that back the leftists.

Until that happens, and I see absolutely no sign of it happening, they have free rein. Cops ain’t going to stop them.

No charges filed? Are there not laws against threatening to burn down someone's business?

So the liberals threaten us with harm and we do what? We acquiesce?

Yeah, I think I see the problem here. This is why the only fighting conservatives do is with their computer keyboards. This is why our Repugnant Congressmen are hiding under their desks during the current assault on America.

We've acquiesced for so long we don't know how to do anything else.

If a barbecue place caves to BLM, that’s a good clue their barbecue is not very good. If a vegan restaurant doesn’t support BLM, their vegan food is not that good either.

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.

You are correct. I used the word "anarchy" but we are actually living under a tyranny.
