My grandfather always said:

That one really good measure of someones character is how a person treats someone who they think is lower on the social order than they are… I.E. say how a CEO treats a waiter or a bank teller..

Friday, I had a person prove how low their character really is. First he trashed my employee, then when I stepped in, as a manager, he attempted to trash me.  When I asked him to leave, he suggested that he would speak to my supervisor. He was dismissive and insulting and downright rude and referred to both of us as “minimum wage drones”. I explained that I was also the owner of the business, and he could complain all he wished, but he was still leaving.

His demeanor changed entirely.  Having had no idea that I was the owner, he assumed he could rant and rave with impunity. When he realized he couldn’t slam someone “lower” than him, he became all servile and such.

Too late, brother, go find somewhere else.

Yeah, I’d like to know more….

This should make you angry:

But, if this is as it appears, then I’d also like to see the officers charged. And terminated. and jailed.

Papers, please?

Realize that this was not a port of entry, but an “internal checkpoint”. I dislike the idea of the internal checkpoint, but once the officer had asked the question regarding citizenship, then the rest is an illegal search. They had no cause to stop anyone, and just because the dude didn’t grovel cooperate is no reason for any of the treatment shown on the videotape.

Anyone got more details?

And lest you say, “gee. all he had to do was answer a few questions”…..remember, he was inside the borders, at an illegal checkpoint, and that pesky Constitution says he DIDN’T have to answer.

It is a short step from here to “Your Papers Please”. And a very sharp slope downward.

When people have had enough:

So when the (mostly white?) patrons of restaurants won’t take their Sunday brunch being interrupted because some black activists are concerned about (black) thugs being detained (and when they resist, being shot) by police for acting like thugs, then what happens?

Those activists get chased out of the restaurant by angry white people who are tired of the bullshit and harassment and double standards…that’s what.

 “White lives matter too!”

People, especially law abiding white people who aren’t racist are beginning to tire of the bullshit. They are tired of being called racist and tired of having their “White Privilege” shoved in their faces…They are (mostly) not racists, and their “Privilege” happens because they are hard working, law abiding folks who don’t squander their money or their opportunities…and they know it. They know they aren’t the issue, but the Black community and society is

The backlash is coming. This is but the opening steps.

Stupidity

So I am at a gunshow….behind a table,  as I had just offered to give a friend of mine who is a knife vendor a break so he can go to the bathroom and get something to drink as he is by himself….

Now, he has 5 tables, each covered with 2 or more with display cases full of KNIVES. (His banner reads “Brads Knives”). Not a firearm on any of the tables. Just various high end knives.

Up wanders Cletus and his friend:  Cletus says “I’m looking for a black chromed (nitrided?) bolt group for an AR”

Brad looks at me. Looks left and then right at his tables full of knives. “Dude, all I sell is knives”.

Cletus says “So you can’t help me then?”

“nope”

Cletus moves off in a huff.
