Nothing that happened here isn't without previous precedent, what did they think was going to happen, a bunch of yes-men customers show up to pat them on the back? Even in an inverse scenario of a restaurant posting an anti-Annoying Orange rant on facebook and then telling customers who voted republican to forget off indefinitely, it'd probably invoke the same reaction. Why does everyone suddenly pretend they have some god given stake in the political scene? --- End quote --- I mean threatening to burn a place down is wrong. And lying on a review site is also pretty wrong. Both of these things are certainly worse than making a facebook post, which is not wrong. |

It's not like this reaction came from the left field, or is the first case of this ever happening. I don't have sympathy for people who poke a bees nest expecting a negative response and then double down on victimhood when the reaction went too hard for them. Everyone loving knows the political climate in north america right now is extremely volatile, the hell did they expect to happen? |

Look really loving carefully at my post. This isn't an unprecedented event. We both know this happens every now and then, forget, it even happened to a pizza place in my home town, with the owners being family friends. Fact of the matter is that that rant posted on facebook was clearly inviting outrage and controversy, they just didn't expect it to be this inflammatory. |
