Quanell X also clarified that the disagreement began because the three alleged victims saw two Hispanic girls get a to-go cup for their margaritas and leave the premises. When the alleged victims then asked for to-go cups for their drinks, they were informed that restaurant policy forbids alcohol to leave the building. One of the women then asked to see the policy, and the manager told her no. She asked for a refund and he again told her no. When she asked why, according to a video the lawyers released to Fox, the manager replied, "Because you're a bitch."
Quanell X says one of the women then reached over the counter to grab a cup. That's when the manager came around the counter and the physical altercation began.
"My grandmother told me under no circumstances do you put your hands on a woman unless your life is in danger," Quanell X said. "Then you can defend yourself. But my grandmother said it's a cowardly man who will put his hand on a woman. Those are cowards masquerading with male genitalia. Those are not men."
A brawl between three sisters and employees of a southwest Houston restaurant drew out activist Quanell X, who called Sunday for criminal charges against the employees.
Owner John Burke said that he was shocked by the incident, which he said was handled wrongly. He added that he has owned restaurants for more than 30 years and had never had anything like this happen before. The manager of the restaurant has been fired.
However, a demand made by Quanell stands for the termination of the remaining employees who were involved and those who failed to report the incident. Additionally, demands were made for the Harris County District Attorney's Office to file assault charges against those employees involved.
"We want action and we want people charged," he said. "We want people fired and terminated, and we want the corrective actions and corrective steps taken by Chacho's corporate to make sure that they demonstrate to the city and our community that the behavior by their employees was not tolerated, it's unacceptable, and they absolutely seek the forgiveness of our community because what has happened is totally wrong."

"I say to Jewish America: Get ready
knuckle up, put your boots on, because we're ready and the war is going down.
The real deal is this: Black youth do not want a relationship with the Jewish community or the mainstream white community or the foot shuffling, head-bowing, knee bobbing black community.
All you Jews can go straight to hell."[5]
What's this asshole going on about? I'm Jewish and my girlfriend's black.

(26,467 posts)Quanell Ralph Evans was born in Los Angeles, California. Both parents were Nation of Islam converts. When they divorced, Evans moved to Houston to live with his mother and younger brother in the South Acres neighborhood, where he attended Worthing High School.[1] Quanell was a drug dealer in the Sunnyside community located in southern Houston, Texas.[2] Quanell served jail time for selling crack cocaine in the Sunnyside and Acres Homes subdivisions in Houston, Texas, in the 1980s.
In 1995, Quanell X was quoted in the New York Daily News as saying,
"I say to Jewish America: Get ready knuckle up, put your boots on, because we're ready and the war is going down. The real deal is this: Black youth do not want a relationship with the Jewish community or the mainstream white community or the foot shuffling, head-bowing, knee bobbing black community. All you Jews can go straight to hell."[5]
Quanell X was forced out of the Nation of Islam for publicly inciting violence with his televised, and highly publicized, exhortation to Houston-area blacks:
"f you feel that you just got to mug somebody because of your hurt and your pain, go to River Oaks and mug you some good white folks. If youre angry that our brother is put to death, dont burn down your own community, give these white folks hell from the womb to the tomb."[6]
After leaving the Nation of Islam, Quanell X joined a paramilitary group named "MFOI", for "Mental Freedom Obtains Independence." The new faction was not designed to attract significant exoteric membership.[7] After the MFOI removed Quanell, he joined the New Black Panther Party under the leadership of Khalid Abdul Muhammad and is now a local leader of the organization.[3]

a bunch of idiots tussling and a lot of f bombs.
I saw I similar scenario happen in reverse on a vid posted to DU a few years back where customers attacked the workers. that too, was pathetic and sad.

(8,692 posts)Since whenever the Houston media goes looking for the "black community" they inevitable wind up at this crackpot's door. This was especially grating when he defended a gang of men who raped a Hispanic girl and his goofy little Nation of Islam splinter cell was held up to be the "black community" who was supporting the accused rapists.

(53,862 posts)Those grown ass men physically assaulting those women has nothing to do with what someone once said.
Those thugs masquerading as restaurant managers and employees need to be not just fired but charge with assault.

(2,467 posts)Combat to me...secondary to theft and
poor decisions.
I would have let them steal the cups, then replrt them to the police for public intoxication and theft.

(18,186 posts)and attacked two women because THEY COULD.
It looked like several men had a woman down on the floor.
I've worked in food service with some pretty mangy rotten customers at times. Never had to beat anybody up.
If you saw "mutual combat" you might want to get your eyes checked.
This is ridiculous.
Back in my food service days I dealt with many angry, beligerent drunks, both male and female, and despite their threats and theatrics no one was ever required to go around the counter to beat them up.
