Other sources say police were called to the restaurant. The article at the top might not be clear enough.

Here’s another article that says “police arrived to remove Bellew from the restaurant,” and she was banned from going there again:

Police watched the video later. IMO, most likely, the profanity, the obscene gestures, the in-your-face yelling, and the threat to have him kicked out of town did her in.

I know nothing about “ethnic intimidation” law in PA, but some websites say it’s a 3rd degree misdemeanor. Again, I don’t think she should go to jail. But, people should be able to work and do business in peace without harassment.

But the charge wasn’t disturbing the peace. I could see that. The charge was some bullschit “ethnic intimidation” nonsense. If she went on a drunken ramble about, say, the price of her pizza, nothing would have been done. She may have been removed from the store but it’s highly, extremely highly unlikely charges would have been filed. But she didn’t do that. She mentioned a taboo topic in this age of the snowflake. In other words, it was a thought crime.

I am not defending her. I am opposing the government’s ability to charge and fine people for voicing an opinion.
