I hate to say it but I live in Rural Texas and can’t imagine for even a second this happening around here not even from illegals.
When I see the brothers in town we are all cool.
When I was in the military I couldn’t understand the guys from Texas who had racism toward Mexicans because I grew up in Philly and never saw or met a Mexican. But now 40 years later and retired and living in Texas I will say this - it’s almost like segregation here. In Texas, Hispanic is the majority but outside of their kids in school, I don’t see them much, except on road crews or construction sites, but when I go to Kroger to shop they aren’t there. They have another (mom and pop) supermarket (foreign owned) in town but all the shoppers are Mexican most food is imported from Mexico.
It’s almost separate but equal not by choice but by coincidence.
I admit even though they may not speak my language but like the brothers, when you meet folks, it helps to greet with a smile, friendly words, a positive head nod and helpful greeting.
Oh, by the way next time you are shopping and are greeted by someone who says, “Good Morning” with a smile, it might be me.
Maybe we should start a phone a thon to this McDonald’s and tell them what piece of craps they are for not protecting this Marine- for not stepping in and stopping the harrassment, for not calling the police.
We have numerous fire arms belong to a great gun club and have taken training and practiced a great deal over the years. But I have to admit I have gotten lax in the last few years and both my wife and I need to renew our commitment. She is the one who has actually been “saved” by firearms on occasion. Both times were racially motivated aggressors. She had been victimized previously and vowed to never let it happen again. She stays more aware of her surroundings than I do.
Well, not ALL thinking and voting and working Americans.
McDonald’s needs to solve the growing problem of violence in their restaurants. If not other chains will take their market.
It is legal to kill vermin in practically every locality.
It keeps disease down.
....well, I should have slowed down and taken the time to acknowledge that millions will vote for Bernie or Hillary on the Dem side; AND, millions are, or will be, voting for “others” in the pub primary. My point, poorly written, was that Trump is having such a big lead because so many are pissed off for the reasons stated.
Obviously you are one voting for someone other than Trump. I hope you a least vote. I appreciate your correct comment.
Welcome home, JBW! Hugs, too.
Sons of Obama.
“...perhaps the media narratives would be different, if Chris Mathews or Rachel Maddow or other white liberal members of the media, were subjected to such vicious beatings, such clearly racist attacks.”
Well don’t bet on it.
There was an incident in Virginia Beach where two white reporters were set upon by a gang of blacks. Now, their injuries were not extensive (if I’m recalling this correctly) and they were not famous TV reporters, but their own newspaper barely reported the story because, you know, black on white crime just ain’t news.
There wouldn’t be any race wars if it wasn’t for the current administration supporting Cop killers and home-boy terrorists. Also, since the head of the administration is allowed to do whatever he wants without any legal ramifications from the other branch of power in this government (even though he is protected by his Dept of Injustice and the FBI - oooh, judicial reparations?) IT IS ALSO THE FAULT OF SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES.
Right to carry makes a difference in the minds of the lawless. If someone thinks they can get away with it, they will try. Makes a big difference.
Not your black lives, you feral, worthless punks...
Where did you hear about this? I haven’t heard anything about it, so I checked all the local DC media but couldn’t find anything on it.
Reminds me of the infamous quote;
“Better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6”
Although this being in DC, the 12 would probably ask for the death penalty for defending himself from the redistribution of his wealth.
There are about 36,000 McDonald's restaurants, worldwide.
Get away from the urban cesspools and most McDonald's are clean, affordable, safe places to get a meal.

of course there's the buses and trains....they'll take the animals anywhere...
Just going from what the article said: Upper NW DC, near American University. There aren’t that many McD’s there, the one in Tenleytown is the probable location.
