Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, April 05, 2024

A Burger King customer in Ohio was caught on camera pointing a gun at a Black drive-thru employee who gave him a discount. Vernon said he took the customer's order and the order came out to around $8. "He was like, My order can't be right, it should be like $11,' and I'm like trying to explain to him that we had a promotion going on, and like it's cheaper, and he started cussing and getting all loud, and I was like, I don't know what to tell you, I don't know why you want to pay more money.'" Vernon said after the argument, the customer sped off. But a minute later, he pulled back around to the drive-thru window as Vernon was helping another customer. That's when the suspect pulled out the gun. Vernon, who is a Black, said the man threatened to kill him and called him a racial slur. "To know that somebody would do something like that just because I'm trying to give you a better deal and just to flip out like that, yes, it is scary."

He was almost shot for trying to help someone. The moral of the story?

For some people, anything at all can rattle their world. We give these people guns.

Fast food workers are subjected to so much abuse. Maybe too many customers are "hangry." Or maybe it's just where unbalanced people are most likely to go to eat.

I was at a McDonald's a few years back when this older White woman entered and started complaining about the workers, who were all Latino and had done absolutely nothing wrong, referring to them with racial pejoratives and talking about how lazy they were. Sitting at the table nearest the counter and being very loud about it.

Everyone could hear, but were doing their best to ignore her, because they thought she was nutters. Then, this even more crazy Black woman entered the building and started shouting at everyone and everything, very much looking for violence.

The nutter White woman suddenly shut her yap. Because she realized that if she continued with her schpiel, the Black woman would acquaint her with the FAFO educational process. The Black woman had called the White woman's bluff without even knowing it.

To paraphrase Mike Tyson, some members of the public are "too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it."

This is why the second amendment must be protected! Otherwise how else will white men protect themselves from discounts.
