People are just so out of control. Too many cruel, entitled obnoxious, self righteous, angry childish idiots! Seeing it more and more.
Always interesting how they claim they’re not racist but were reacting in a moment of stress. Since when did being stressed turn you into a bigot? It’s like with alcohol, where your inhibitions are lessened and you say all the things you wanted to, but never have while sober. FOH w/ that mess !uConns finest:
More on that incident
CT Man Arrested for Yelling, Throwing Smoothie at Workers After Son Has Allergic Reaction: PD
Police have arrested a man accused of yelling and throwing things at workers of a smoothie shop in Fairfield, Connecticut.www.nbcconnecticut.com
The Dad got charged and they're trying to turn it into a hate crime?
He told them "No Peanut butter" and then his kid had to go the hospital 30 minutes later with an allergic reaction.
I totally would have been that dad - you nearly killed my kid, you stupid -ing kids. Why are you so smug? Why do you ignore simple instructions? Does that make you bad ass? You shouldn't have a g-damn job if you can't get that right.
Its still on him. PB allergies can flare up even if other things are made in the same place where items with peanut or peanut butter is made.
He should know this as a parent with a kid having such an allergy. He likely screwed up and was too casual about it and then overcompensated for his own screw up along with the employee's. Seen it more than a few times maybe just not as extreme.
Yeah, but a hate crime? I wrote this response based off the headline, but once I watched the video, the only thing I heard him say was to call the girl an "immigrant". Is that a hate crime now?
They were all trying to evade responsibility for sending his kid to the hospital. He shouldn't have tried to force his way into the back of the store, but they should have been apologetic and more forthcoming about the ingredients in the kid's food that made him sick.
They could have just said "I'm really sorry" and then there was nothing more to do. The guy probably wouldn't have lost his shtt the way he did if they just apologized.
Just curious, and I'm also not justifying the "hate crime" aspect of this situation, but what does her being an immigrant...or not, have ANY earthly thing to do with it?Yeah, but a hate crime?

Should he be sentenced for 7-10 years, say, if it's a "hate crime", vs. less than a year as a misdemeanor assault, or more likely probation for a first offense?
That's what "hate crime" designation does to normal laws for normal "crimes" or "normal" unsocial behavior in need of sanction.
And, once again, they could have just apologized, and the whole thing never would have escalated. He was triggered by their not acknowledging what they had done - "hey, not my problem I put the wrong thing in your kid's smoothie and he almost died. NOT MY PROBLEM. I DUNNO WHO DID IT." That's what he lost it.
I learned very early in my business career, if it was your mistake, just say "I'm sorry about that." That's all it takes.
The POS who did this (5 minutes from my house) is a UConn grad. I’m sure the UConn people discussed the Tommy Kane murder conviction in their SU thread.Please pardon my ignorance, but why is this item in the UConn thread?
Good game going on. Whatever happened to Akok? He started early in the season, but he doesn’t play at all now. Jackson is a great athlete, defensive player and passer, but can’t shoot a lick. He would be amazing playing the wing on defense In the zone. I wonder if they are happy at UCONN?
Damnit!!!! I was about to tune in solely for this reason. Figured he wouldn’t get run until they were down 10+ in the second half though. I missed it!Dan Hurley is legit insane.
I mean holy chit just watching his routine.
He just got ejected.
That was delicious. He is insane.
He banged the scorers table while Nova was attacking in transition off a long pass and the ref stopped it and T’d him.Damnit!!!! I was about to tune in solely for this reason. Figured he wouldn’t get run until they were down 10+ in the second half though. I missed it!
