Not sure if this is an "offend me" idiot, or an "I'm in charge here" idiot. But an idiot, for sure.

At the very least I’d like to hear the Starbucks’ manager’s version.

occupy starbucks - NOT

If I were the Starbucks manager, and I realized the veterans were gathering for a fallen serviceman, I would have given each one of them a free coffee and a public “thank you.”

So what was the reason they got kicked out? There was surely a reason, good or bad. And it still mystifies me why folks would even go into a Starbucks in the first place.

Why did he kick them off the property?

[GOP Poet]

Maybe he was offended by their being real men. :)

I believe the Westboro Baptist Church nutjobs had set up a protest near the Starbucks. Naturally they’d attract counter-protesters.

I love the police reaction after they escorted the WBC away: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGcCLdAwNlg

My father served in World War II (USAAC). He remained an active advocate for veterans from the time of his discharge through his recent death ... devoting thousands of hours to their cause. Much of his service came through his active membership in both the American Legion and the VFW.

At the conclusion of his funeral, as I left the church, I was greeted by these motorcycle hoodlums. Since we lived not too far from Bartlesville, it is likely some were from the same group that offended the Starbucks idiot manager.

The monsters had turned up without any prior notice to the family. We were completely surprised! They lined the path from the front door of the church to the hearse. An honor guard. Standing silently. At attention. Several dozen U.S. flags flowing softly in the breeze.

As the eldest son, I was so overwhelmed that I had to personally greet the beasts. In tears, I shook every man's hand and thanked him for honoring my father. It was the kindest gesture paid to him ... out of many. Dad would have been (was) so proud!

I wish I could be there this weekend ... although the way I feel at the present time ... it's a damn good thing for Starbucks that I can't make it. And I don't think I will ever again be able to stomach another cup of their overpriced swill.

patriot guard protest of westburros was unexpectedly joined by vulgar outlaw gang, which in turn p*ssed off a starbucks manager.

it sounds like a big misunderstanding on the part of the manager and there’s no need to crucify the manager or starbucks for this.

It was bad enough that Starbucks decided to appease the econuts that are probably a frightening large percentage of their customers by promoting the hoax-based AGW lie.
But to disrespect veterans is too much.

I'm hoping that they're have to reduce the price of their coffee to 25 cents just to stay in business. When they close, I a patriotic company that respects soldiers and believes in real science takes over.
