Restaurant owner won't serve "freaks", "-blam!-", or disabled people

[url]http://gawker.com/oklahoma-restaurant-wont-serve-freaks--blam!--or-1518446794[/url] [url]http://kfor.com/2014/02/06/graphic-language-enid-restaurant-owner-gets-heat-for-alleged-discrimination/[/url] And not just them. He has issues with everyone. The first [url=http://www.yelp.com/biz/chicaro-club-enid#hrid:1-PFLcNSqBJQUs4azCSaIQ]review[/url] on Yelp put it like this:[quote]Appalling, bigoted, discriminatory behavior is regularly displayed at this establishment. The owner, Gary James, refuses to serve wheelchair bound persons, black people, Hispanics, mixed race couples, gay people, people who wear hats, people who ask for Budweiser, liberals, men with longish hair, people wearing clothes he doesn't approve of, people with facial piercings, on and on, ad nauseum. If you pass first inspection, don't think you've got it made - if he doesn't approve of an overheard conversation, if he decides you are too effeminate, if your politics don't agree with his, if you don't like the way your steak is cooked, if you cheer for the wrong team, etc etc, Mr. James will charge you more for your meal.[/quote] [url=http://www.yelp.com/biz/chicaro-club-enid?sort_by=rating_desc]Some of these "reviews" though... LOL[/url]. It's sad to think [url=http://www.yelp.com/biz/chicaro-club-enid#hrid:-E52y-RYzFqXZ8jd6LmeBQ]this one[/url] might actually be from someone who thinks that way.

  • Whoever thought that people would defend a person's freedom of speech even if it threatens someone else? I'm guessing those same people also say it's okay for someone to yell out, "Fire" in a crowded movie theater because it's the person's freedom of speech. Yes, the article does state that there are shirts that [i]threaten[/i] people that the owner doesn't like. I'm all for freedom of speech unless it ends up compromising a person's security and well-being. Then it's out the door that right goes. [quote]Those shirts say "-blam!--Free Zone," the N-word, and include threats against Muslims and Democrats.[/quote]
