On Wednesday, Jorge de Cárdenas filmed a man yelling at a female Starbucks employee in Miami after his drink order was reportedly delayed. In the clip, the man can be heard shouting, I voted for Trump! Trump! You lost, now give me my money back. De Cárdenas says the disgruntled customer accused the chain of white discrimination.
And on Thursday, a video surfaced purportedly showing a barista at a Delray Beach, Fla. beach Starbucks threatening to call the cops on a customer because he asked for the name Trump to be written on his cup.

This is happening around my part of town. I hope their person of interest is the real squirrel. Bombers we don't need.

Not too long after 2001, a cache of mining explosives was broken into and enough heavy explosive to do real damage was stolen. They got the guys a week or so later, still in the state and trying to find a buyer, strictly commerce instead of politics.
This is a very weird state. Our bombers aint bright

(111,254 posts)Two crazies running around blowing shit up and setting fires at one time would be highly unusual. His bombs did cause a couple of decent sized fires, one at Barnes & Noble (bastard!) and the other at Old Navy.
