Men arrested in Philly Starbucks not “thinking about” lawsuit.
Rightttt. They’re just going to allow ABC News cameras to follow them during process with Starbucks to put max pressure on company.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Only in Post Obama’s America can a criminal be the victim
They were asked to leave, they refused, cops made them leave.
It should not be any more complicated then that.
Establishments like these in urban or dense areas usually have signs that read bathrooms and seating are for paying customers only.
All they needed to do was buy a cup of Joe, granted it would be a $7 cup of Joe, but that is the price of admittance
On what grounds would they sue? Being repeatedly asked to leave a private business, refusing to leave, and police called? I suppose they’ll find a liberal judge or jury, that will award them millions, for their emotional scars.
What a world we live in!
Starbucks will fold like a cheap tent.....and that will set a precedent.
Were they actually arrested? I read they were “let go” after they were “lead out” of starbucks.
Cat fight!
Might get expensive for SB.
Guess they will have to raise their prices to $10 a cup?
Sharpton/Jackson smell blood in the water.
I’ve been refused a key to the mens room because I’m not buying anything. But I’m white so I guess it’s ok.
i.e. these guys have no chance unless they can prove it was because of their race and this was ONLY done to black people and ALL black people that had not purchased anything.
This is strictly a race baiting publicity thing that can be tried in the court of opinion, not a real courtroom.
And I don’t think it’s working. The race card reached its limit before Trump became president, but they keep trying to use it. Someone needs to cut it up.
Probably because a lawyer explained they have absolutely no standing: you’re told to leave private property, you leave; police tell you to leave, you leave; you stay after that, you get arrested.
If anything, Starbucks has grounds for a civil case against them due to the articulable damages (lost income) directly caused by their criminal trespass (via subsequent publicity).
Ka-Ching
Is Micheal Cohen available to fix the situation with a payout and non-disclosure deal???
When they do file a lawsuit, starbucks should pay them in gift cards
If the (white) employee who asked them to leave was following store policy and she was fired I think she should be the one who files a lawsuit.
You can be sure a herd of money-hungry lawyers is calling them day and night. You can be sure they will make a lot of money off this.
That privilege is not open to Whites.
I’d be worried about discovery if I were them. They’re likely hoping Starbucks will be gutless enough to settle.
If these two men were smart, they would ask Starbucks to hire them in an advertising campaign.
