i absolutely do not condone death/arson threats due to political views but

probably not loving death threats

probably not, but they should have expected immense backlash, especially considering tucson is one of the more liberal parts of Arizona

if I run a business I'm not going to start making posts telling Republicans to forget off

it's a personal account

and you don't really have any room to talk here do you

it's a pretty normal rule of thumb not to make political posts on any business accounts until you're in the millions

exactly, if it was just on the owner's personal facebook account maybe I would have some sympathy, but it wasn't

what are you talking about my drug selling is under the table

If a woman gets raped and you tell her "oh well maybe you shouldn't have worn that clothing" then yeah, that's victim blaming.
But if she does it with the intention of getting raped so that she can bring attention to herself, then yeah, she's responsible.

Of course, the latter situation is a ridiculous concept, but...that's what the social media post the restaurant posted is comparable too.

You've had restaurants like Chik-Fil-A, who are just like "yeah we support traditional marriage k thx", and some people have chosen to boycott them for that, but they've remained a successful chain. But this restaurant didn't do that. The way they hit pretty much every hot button political issue, and then top it off with a "if you disagree, tell 100 of your friends and don't come back", it really sounds to me like they were deliberately trying to stir up a controversy, and bank off the "no publicity is bad publicity mindset"

That's why it's not victim blaming.
