A prolifer had a huge melt down at the local resturant |
|
Edited on Wed Apr-26-06 05:44 PM by DanCa
Hey guys I wanted your opinion of what I experienced today. I am still in shock over it. My mom and I were having lunch at the local chineese resturant and a guy came in wearing a pro life t shirt. No big deal I thought at first because everyone has a right to free speech. However he starts yelling at the girl that china kills babies and that they "chineese people" should all be deported. So the place starts emptying out and the guy was still on a tangent when the cops finally came and took him away for disturbing the peace. Afterward the owner gave us free drinks and appologized for his antics. Anyhow that's why I haven't been on today because I had to give a statement to the cops and we were at the Police Department all day.I was wondering if any of you had experienced this because I live in in a small town and I don't get out much.
Also please forgive me if theres alot of typos in this post. I am still creeped out by what took place. Thanks for letting me vent Danny.

1. China is the next big enemy |

They are scared shitless of them. But on the other hand, they are scared shitless of everything.

2. They only really hated China when Clinton was in office |
|
Now, I think the big enemy is either the EU or the UN, but especailly the EU.
They see it as a godless, socialist superstate, and are anxious to start a Cold War with the EU.

6. Immigrants are the next big enemy |
|
At least immigrants that aren't white. It's nutball hypocrisy since nearly everyone in America is a n'th generation (recent) immigrant.

3. The restaurant owners should have said |
|
"hey, man, this is America, not China. STFU and get the hell out of my store!"
But it looks like they called the cops, so that's good.
I'm sorry they had to go through that.

5. Sounds like there was a screw loose |
|
in that guy's head - beyond the normal close-minded, Bushbot mentality. I'm out and about quite a bit, but in a fairly progressive part of northern California. Haven't seen any complete nut jobs lately. I think this guy possibly had mental problems. Feel sorry for the poor restaurant owner, having his/her business disturbed during the lunch hour.

The cops came in about ten minutes to fifteen minutes after his rant. I didn't even think about him being armed at the time.

9. Expect to see more of this type of thing. |
|
The cognitive dissonance is simply overwhelming them; literally EVERYTHING they see around them proves that they are about as WRONG as anyone has ever been.
So it's meltdown time for tiny brains completely at odds with reality.

10. Yeesh! That would have freaked me out too, DanCa |
|
I've not witnessed such a thing, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened here in SeattleLand. Usually what happens to me is that freepers in large trucks drive just inches from my back bumper when they see my Kerry/Edwards, and DemocraticUnderground.com bumperstickers in the back window of my car.

11. I live in a large city and there are ..... |
|
certainly plenty of whack jobs out there. I've never seen what you described, someone going into a chinese restaurant and dissing the chinese people. That has to be a special kind of stupid.
I'm thinking this "pro-life" asshole is conflicted about his views and doesn't have the requisite intelligence to sort out his feelings.
It reminds me of that meltdown with the "dark-side" lady on TV. She makes no sense whatsoever, yet she is oblivious to her weirdness.

Wal-Mart supports China far more than any restaurant would.

17. Ah, I doubt it was anything political |
|
Everyplace has its share of crazies, and they spout off all sorts of stuff that has nothing to do with the real world. You and your Mom just happened to get a close-up version of what it's like, very often, walking down some of the main avenues in Washington, DC, where screaming people are very often the norm. And they scream about all kinds of stuff.
Think of it as a learning experience, about how some other people live in this world, and don't let it rattle you. Thanks for telling your story. Don't be creeped out. In America, since Ronny Raygun emptied out the mental hospitals and put people like this on the street, it's normal.
Alas.
Now, relax. You did good, DanCa.

especially in NY. It's the violent ones that I worry about. Do what the cops ask if you can. The guy will get a plea and a slap on the rist. That will be the end of it.

26. Sorry to hear about your experience! |
|
Several years ago, I was working at a hospital. Some nutjob walked in and started waving around a shotgun, demanding to see "the abortion doctors" so he could kill them (the hospital I worked at only performed abortions when they were medically necessary, but this guy didn't know that). Luckily, the cops were quick to get there and the guy was taken away without anyone getting hurt. I was working on the floor below where this happened, but it still freaked me out so I can relate.

I'm sorry your meal was interrupted by a hateful wingnut. :(
I was at a Chinese buffet one time and this huge church group was in there. The pastor was this big slobby looking man with a nasty 70s mustache wearing a pastel yellow shirt, Elvis tie, brown corduroys, and black loafers - imagine that if you can - and he talked REALLY LOUDLY about religious stuff the entire time.
At one point he proclaimed loudly "did you know that people in China don't know Christ?" to which his mostly elderly companions murmured their shock and/or sorrow. His voice carried throughout the entire restaurant.
My mom and I couldn't stop giggling about it two tables over. :D At least that guy wasn't hateful and abusive, though.

30. He's mad his fortune cookie (Amerikan invention) said: |
|
"Never wear your best pants when you go to fight for freedom."
or
"A starship ride has been promised to you by the galactic wizard."
or
"You love Chinese food."
or
"Someone will invite you to a Karaoke party."
or
"Don’t behave with cold manners.
Taken from real fortune cookies, anyway he is a nut that just cracked

31. Just think of the Fundie Explosion that would take place |
|
Edited on Wed Apr-26-06 07:26 PM by Kansas Wyatt
If they found out that their favorite store, WalMart, puts so many Chinese made goods in their Fundie homes, knowing that China mandates forced government abortions. So Fundies are actually paying for abortions in China, because China makes a lot of abortion funding off of WalMart selling Chinese made garbage to Fundies, who proudly put Made In China (World's biggest abortion clinic) in their Christian homes. :rofl:
