“Even in Europe you cannot show hate like that in a public place, so this was not normal for us,” Lattanzio explained.


Then, stay in Europe, Mr Lattanzio.

No one is forcing you to come to Texas.

Lattanzio and his brother Luis decided to leave the restaurant after 10 minutes and did not order anything.

And there's your solution. Don't like it? Leave without ordering anything.

THAT is how Freedom works. You DON’T HAVE to be offended and eat there. The guy from Germany did correct, took his money and went across the street. He was FREE to do this. But if the owner wanted to put something that some of his patrons thought was humourous satire..so be it. That’s LIFE. Jesus promised us that in life.. OFFENSES WOULD COME.

“I am offended that you are offended. So, STFU and ‘Don’t Come Around Here No More”.

They took that long to read ALL of the offensive signs.

The word “welcoming” seems to have a covert meaning.

The first amendment is not to protect speech you agree with, but speech you may not agree with.

In other words the first amendment is protecting us against censorship. This is why any “hate speech” law is unconstitutional. Hate speech laws are just a way to get around the first amendment.

Those in power can define anything as hate speech.

Leon Lattanzio visited Killeen from Germany to meet his family in late March and said he has never witnessed such hate in his life.

Isn't that an Italian name?

Purr baby.

Pasta la vista!

Hmmm...

-Five Star reviews
-Bread baked on site
-Patrons must turn cell phones off
-No website
-Some warnings about images of half-dressed women and adult jokes tacked to the walls
-The owner "honestly just doesn't give a hoot about anything"

Why can't I have a place like this in my neighborhood?

Message to Leon: You are not in Europe and especially not in Germany. We have a First Amendment here. It means exactly what it says. If you don’t like somebody else’s speech, you are free to leave, to not frequent that business, to use your right of free speech to counter somebody else’s views, etc. What you are not allowed to do is cry that something you don’t like is “hateful” and therefore on that basis have the government censor anyone. Yes, this specifically means you are going to be exposed to opinions you don’t like. You have no right to not be offended. You’re just going to have to hike up your big girl panties and deal with it.

From what I saw there was a poster listing a whole lot of famous people who were shot by muslims. Also a corny joke not offensive at all.
I don’t know why that idiot says even in Europe. Is the word even doesn’t belong there, You’re a dozen have free speech and that’s all there is to it.
What really troubles me is that the founding fathers were profoundly decent and wise men. They had extremely important reasons for acknowledging our god-given rights
But I never see articles with an intelligent analysis of why free speech is so important.

“Even in Europe you cannot show hate like that…”

“Hate” is a word that has been dumbed down to the point of stupidity.

Krautish blockheads have no concept of free speech. Their official national dance is the goose-step.

Germans...hate in Europe...nope. Can’t think of any examples as serious as a few crass signs in an American pizzeria...

What a dope.
