Showing Original Post only (View all)The Red Hen Restaurant In Lexington, Virginia Was Forced To Close After Protests And Threats [View all]
Editded to add: Closed for the day, not permanently.
The Red Hen had planned to open at 5:00 p.m. as scheduled, however after both protesters and supporters of the business began showing up hours earlier in the afternoon, the restaurant remained dark throughout the evening. Initially, the Washington Post reports that it was just two men holding Trump banners and a confederate flag, but eventually the crowd grew so thick that police were forced to actually close off the street.
One gentleman of clearly extraordinary intelligence even showed up with a bucket of chicken manure, and was promptly arrested after dumping it on the front of the restaurant as you can see in the local news report, below.

OP
Uncivil behavior toward a business that politely asked a liar and bigot to leave.

Think about it - there is something completely linear about Trump followers flinging shit.

I agree. They both knew what the results would be and they both wanted those results.
