Starbucks and White Guilt

I don't believe this was a racial thing. I believe there's more to the story. I would bet money these guys mouthed off to the Starbucks employee and refused to leave or order anything.

Did nobody watch the two videos I posted?

They were asked to leave and refused to leave. The police showed up and asked them to leave. Again, they refused. At that point, they were placed under arrest. The black police chiefy guy said race was not an issue. The black police supervisor on site apparently didn't see race as an issue.

I don't care who you are, if you are asked to leave a business, and refuse, you are trespassing and subject to arrest. Once the police are involved, if you still refuse to leave when asked by them then you WILL be placed under arrest, black or not. Notice, the police are not obligated to ask you to leave, they could just show up and arrest your hind end and toss you in the clink.

That's true. If a business establishment asks you to leave and you don't, they can call the police. And if you don't comply with the police, you can be arrested. Definitely by refusing to leave after the police requested it, they are subject to arrest.

I think the issue here is that if they were two white guys in shirts and ties, nobody would have said a thing to begin with. And if they were asked to make a purchase or leave, after saying they were waiting on someone, there wouldn't have been an incident.

I've been asked if I was going to purchase something while waiting for someone else before. No one called the police on me. In fact, if they insisted I leave, I would have complied. And if it was a misunderstanding and the police were called, I'd definitely leave upon a police officer's request.

But thank God I don't have to ever worry about anything like that. I'm white. I might be offered a complimentary coffee while I wait. lol

And therein lies the difference. These guy didn't comply which is why the police were called.

It's ridiculous that a bar in NYC can kick someone out for wearing a MAGA hat and all the libs are obviously okay with it and I read many tweets applauding what the bar did, but tell a black person to leave when they're not ordering anything and taking space ...

What's worse is a Judge ruled in favor of the bar and said they could discriminate against the Trump supporter.

Had that been a homosexual ...

Blatant hypocrisy from the radical left.
