White Silence is Violence

[George K]

Seen on TuCa: "It's interesting how the concept of 'harassment' has evolved. Tweeting that only people with a uterus can get pregnant is 'harassment,' but screaming with a bullhorn at someone in a restaurant is not 'harassment.'"

I would just walk away from that mob. Get up and say good bye.

Unfortunately, you would probably be followed, spit on, have food thrown at you. You might get pushed. Might even get sucker punched. Followed all the way to your car. Surrounded.

I feel bad about feeling this way but this puts me right back in 7th grade afraid of the bully, and yeah, fantasizing about shutting his mouth up with my knife in his ribs the stupid fuck.

Wow, this is close to home for me too. What would I do? Probably exactly what that white male does in the video...just sit there and put my mask on. Trying to reason with the mob is like trying to verbally calm down a pack of wild animals.

You know, some idiot is going to get himself shot in the middle of a restaurant before all this is over.

We're close to a boilover. And like LD keeps warning us, I think both sides will use that event to justify themselves and then we're off to the races.

@Horace said in White Silence is Violence:

a little forethought about how to react to those situations.

I would end up in the hospital with my head bashed in.

There is no way I could sit there, no way.

I would find a weapon and start swinging it.

And get my head bashed in.

I expect a lot of people around this area could just use their gun for protection.

Yes. Me too. I'd take 3 or 4 of them with me too..

[LuFins Dad]

Like Copper, I think I would have started swinging. At that point you are an idiot’s decision away from being attacked, and I would refuse to wait until it’s too late to defend myself.

Restaurant?

Hah!

Piss-poor security and response.

There'd be zero chance of me joining in. As a "POC" do you think they'd ignore me and move on?

Depends on split decision of the mob. Coin toss. Best chance would be if they thought you didn’t understand English.

Perfect. Xenon could tell the mob he's from Slovenia.
Then see what happens.

I haven't heard any reason why this happened.

The priest sounded like he might think the attacker is just plain crazy. I didn't hear anything political or racial motivation.

Kinda my go-to plan.

Nah. they know y'all carry knives.

I handled a claim once for a Denny's restaurant. A customer in the middle of a meal got up, flagged down a waitress, and asked for a steak knife.

Once armed, he stabbed a guy in another booth.

Denny's, man.

After my first shift at a late-night bakery, my co-workers took me out to the only diner still open. There were two cops behind us who were waiting on a table. The host was an old, bald black guy with a goofy multi-colored tie that said GRANDPA in yellow, Cooper Black font. Nice guy.

Teenage miscreants were causing some shit in the corner when we were seated. I took one sip of coffee and watched Grandpa choke-slam the SHIT out of one of them. I'm talking he gripped the kid's throat, kid's feet left the ground, and he was slammed on the floor. Completely got the wind knocked out of him. He couldn't cough for a full minute.

Cops did nothing. Actually yeah they did, they kicked the kids out on their ass after the one on the ground could get up.

This incident pretty much set the stage for my entire time at that job. Multiple times a week there was shit like that.

Oh the coffee was pretty good actually.
