BOYCOTT THEM: Popular Restaurant Tells Veterans to REMOVE the Flag and GET OUT

[eagle1462010]

None of these restaurants here, so boycotting them is easy.

They are going to lose business over this incident and rightfully so.............Perhaps the employees there were being stupid and misinterpreted their rule............or perhaps they were following the policy to the letter..........

Either way...........they will pay a price in lost customers over the incident, and I could care less..........

Their stupidity is the cause...........and they deserve it.

Angry Muslim Confronts Cashier For Wearing U.S. Flag… What Happened Next Had Store Cheering – Politic House

Yup, a great step forward for "journalism".

Good story. One I have no doubt you object to.

I think its a bit weak. The Muslim woman could have been carrying a knife at least.

The only weakness these days seems to be coming from the fricken liberals.

You understand that that story is bullshit, right?

It's fiction.

They opened a Dave &Busters here in International Drive. All I heard leading up to opening day was how cool it was that we had one.

I went there once, it wasn't worth going back.

We have one... never been there. Looks like a Chuck E Cheese for adults. Never planned on going there, now I surely won't.

"i think the real reason is because some liberal complained..."

so 1 - they don't know what happened. 2 - nothing is actually verified, is it? 3 - if their policy is no jackets of that type, then that is their policy. i would applaud them for the consistency vs. caving to the *other* side.

why people have to make a huge fight out of every time they don't get their way is beyond me. that's so... millennial.

Dave & Busters deals primarily with the teen crowd. Ground zero for potential child molesters. A group of male bikers going there "just to eat", sounds dicey to me.....I don't care who they represent.

Hard to read any facts in that silly link....but I will make a guess that some employee didn't look close enough and thought they were just another motorcycle gang (hey, it WAS Michigan).....but the article is wallowing in victimhood.

 

[bodecea]

Ooh...

...tough one for conservatives around here to respond to, i.e., those conservatives who insist that a business should have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

lol

Well yabut, that's only wedding cakes and gays.

Looking at that story, and looking at the what they were wearing, I can see this happening. One of the links I posted said the group is well known. I've never heard of them. Other posters have heard of the restaurant. Not me. For whatever that's worth.

But they ARE trying to make it right. I think that's worth something.

Yes, looks like they are trying to make it right.....but that is even more upsetting to Alt-Right trumpanzees who love a good outrage.

Employee saw bikers wearing leather jackets and asked them to remove the jackets

Honest mistake.......hardly an affront on patriotism

 

[mdk]

Their food sucks and it's silly to pay to play video games you can play for free on your phone.

 

[my2¢]

A dress code might be one of the few remaining rights of a business and so I won't boycott over one but rather will maintain my non-interest in eating at Dave and Busters.

I read that the situation cited in OP caused D&B to review and modify their dress code. From their website, one can see what it now states (see 2nd to last bullet point):

 

[HenryBHough]

A restaurant run by filth has to be filthy as well. Time for a series of really serious health inspections followed by speedy closures.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Good grief.

This is a lot of to-do about nothing. They made a mistake, admitted it and set about correcting it.

Nuclear power plant technicians, senior military officers, FBI contractors and an employee of “a highly-secretive Department of Defense agency” with a Top Secret clearance. Those are just a few of the more than 100 people with sensitive military and government connections that law enforcement is tracking because they are linked to “outlaw motorcycle gangs.”

A year before the deadly Texas shootout that killed nine people on May 17, a lengthy report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detailed the involvement of U.S. military personnel and government employees in outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs. A copy of the report was obtained by The Intercept.

The report lays out, in almost obsessive detail, the extent to which OMG members are represented in nearly every part of the military, and in federal and local government, from police and fire departments to state utility agencies. Specific examples from the report include dozens of Defense Department contractors with Secret or Top Secret clearances; multiple FBI contractors; radiological technicians with security clearances; U.S. Department of Homeland Security employees; Army, Navy and Air Force active-duty personnel, including from the special operations force community; and police officers.

“The OMG community continues to spread its tentacles throughout all facets of government,” the report says.

The relationship between OMGs and law enforcement has come under scrutiny after it became known that law enforcement were on site in Waco bracing for conflict.

The 40-page report, “OMGs and the Military 2014,” issued by ATF’s Office of Strategic Intelligence and Information in July of last year, warned of the escalating violence of these gangs. “Their insatiable appetite for dominance has led to shootings, assaults and malicious attacks across the globe. OMGs continue to maim and murder over territory,” the report said. “As tensions escalate, brazen shootings are occurring in broad daylight.”

The ATF report is based on intelligence gathered by dozens of law enforcement and military intelligence agencies, and identifies about 100 alleged associates of the country’s most violent outlaw motorcycle gangs and support clubs who have worked in sensitive government or military positions.

Those gangs “continue to court active-duty military personnel and government workers, both civilians and contractors, for their knowledge, reliable income, tactical skills and dedication to a cause,” according to the report. “Through our extensive analysis, it has been revealed that a large number of support clubs are utilizing active-duty military personnel and U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) contractors and employees to spread their tentacles across the United States.”

The report predicted that six dominant OMGs — Mongols, Hells Angels, Outlaws, Pagans, Bandidos and Vagos — would continue to expand, with escalating violence. The groups are known as “one-percenter” clubs, a moniker they proudly use to denote their outlaw status. The report identifies the most violent as Bandidos and Hell’s Angels support clubs — the same groups involved in a deadly shootout in Waco, Texas on Sunday.

The deadly confrontation involved the Bandidos and a rival club, the Cossacks MC, who are backed by Bandidos’ arch rivals, the Hell’s Angels. The shootout was part of a ongoing turf battle: Without permission from the Bandidos, Cossacks members have begun wearing a patch on their vests that claims Texas as the club’s territory — a figurative thumb in the eye of the Bandidos, long the state’s dominant motorcycle club. Nine people were killed and more than 170 bikers were arrested in the noontime showdown.

On Wednesday, law enforcement in Texas confirmed to several media outlets that one of the bikers arrested in the massive post-shootout sweep was a former San Antonio police detective, who joined the Bandidos after retiring from the department after 32 years.

The ATF report identifies the Bandidos as the dominant and most violent of the motorcycle gangs in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, and identifies a staff sergeant instructor in the United States Air Force, currently stationed at Keesler Air Force Base, as the president of the local Pistoleros chapter, a Bandidos support club. According to the report, he routinely hosts parties for active duty military personnel.

In response to questions about the report, an ATF spokesperson said, “This was supposed to be solely a law enforcement tool to help fight violent crime. It was not supposed to be out there in the ether for general consumption.” The Intercept, after consulting with ATF, has redacted some portions of the report.

In an interview, Edward Winterhalder, a former high-ranking member of the Bandidos who left the club in 2003, said that while military veterans have long been involved in motorcycle clubs — many of the current outlaw clubs were formed in the wake of World War II — current-duty military or law enforcement members are not generally involved in the most violent gangs.

According to Winterhalder, biker clubs not associated with the violent one-percenters have many government employees — current military, law enforcement and firefighters — as members. Indeed, some clubs have emerged that pointedly disavow any connections to violence or lawlessness, or that specifically bill themselves as a LEMC — law enforcement motorcycle club.

Among those are the Iron Circle LEMC, a Texas club formed in 2006; the Arizona-founded Roughnecks Country MC — for the “99 percent … that gives a shit about society and the laws that govern the world we live in”; the Iron Order MC, a fiercely independent club that strongly rejects the ethos of the one-percenters; and the Protectors LEMC, which requires a criminal background check for prospective members.

Nonetheless, the report documents extensive involvement of current-duty military and government personnel in the outlaw groups, and does not mention LEMCs.

The report is a testament to how seriously law enforcement takes the issue of outlaw motorcycle gangs, detailing extensive surveillance; the document includes copies of military or government identification photos, some gained from traffic stops, and information from what appears to be close monitoring of military and government officials who attend the groups’ gatherings and activities across the country.

Those are all Hillary Clinton's people. They are all getting revenge for slaughtering their ancestors during the Salem witch-hunt. If I were you all, that you all shouldn't eat at their establishment or even hire any of them as babysitters or school teachers for your children. They are very creepy, and that you should make sure that they are not around your children at all. If they do not kill them, they will surely break their virginity at any age. But if you eat at their establishment, I'll guaranteed that you will be eating their own secreted bodily fluids and waste. Just be glad that they are revealing themselves to you, so that you will know to stay away from them.



Homeland Security Classifies Returning US Veterans as Potential Terrorist Threat

In her statement Wednesday, Ms. Napolitano defended the report, which says “rightwing extremism” may include groups opposed to abortion and immigration, as merely one among several threat assessments. But she agreed to meet with the head of the American Legion, who had expressed anger over the report, when she returns to Washington next week from a tour of the U.S.-Mexico border. Napolitano stands by controversial report

“I know nothing about the Bohemian Grove with Bill,” Nichols told Infowars. “I know about once a month Hillary would go out to Los Angeles. And she did it so regular that it became a bit of an issue trying to.. ‘Why’s she always going?’”

“Bill told me that she was going out there, she and a group of women, and she would be a part of a witch’s church. Man, when Bill told me that, she could have hit me with a baseball bat. I tried to point out to him, ‘Do you realize what would happen if that got out?’ Of course my job was to make sure it didn’t get out.” Hillary ‘Regularly’ Attended Witch’s Church, Clinton Insider Claims

Did you get your butt whupped by a biker or something? Methinks you may have, hence the fear you exhibit about them.

I don't fear posers, they are bad for business hence this corporate policy - no gangs and gang colors.

lol. They aren't a gang. They are veterans. You know, military? Hello?

Moron.

So they were wearing military gear? Or were they in leather jackets with strange looking patches that an untrained eye might suspect were gang related?

I mean biker gangs never cause problems, right?

A spokeswoman for the company, April Spearman, stated that the no-gang symbol policy is in place “to ensure that everyone is able to enjoy themselves in a fun and safe environment.”

So what's the problem?
