Over the weekend, the Washington Post published an opinion article written by Stephanie Wilkinson, the owner of Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia. Wilkinson famously kicked out White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family last June over what Wilkinson felt was a moral obligation to stand up to the Trump administration. The restaurant owner not only ejected Sanders, but followed her into another restaurant to continue the harassment.
Wilkinson doubled down on her actions in her Washington Post article, claiming that all restaurants and businesses have a moral obligation to prevent dissenters from participating in public life because, as she said, “this isn’t about politics.

I didn't know the Red Hen owner had followed Ms. Sanders to another restaurant to continue the harassment. This makes it much worse. This is stalking and menacing. It took a generation, but this behavior is now considered normal.

#1, the Red Hen owner did follow Sarah and her family to another restaurant screaming. It wasn't bad enough that this wacko owner ran Sarah out of her restaurant, she had to STALK Sarah to another location. As I said in my past posts concerning this owner of the Red Hen, I hope everyone stops going to her restaurant and she goes bankrupt. What an evil person she is.

We are already at the formerly unimaginable point where physical violence against someone MAGA occurs and no Democrat or Enemedia agent will condemn it. It isn't hard to foretell what the next stage will be.

They're gonna mess with the wrong (or should I say right) person one day, and it will make them all reconsidering where they're trying to go with this.

Socialism requires social pressure, oppression and coercion to implement its policies because free people will not give up their property willingly. Once in power the State can then officially enforce its policies by creating a police state. Oppression of a free people by a socialistic government will always descend into fascism. The brainwashed morons currently enjoying inflicting violence on others with impunity are just the beginning. It is frightening to see how easily a city government can cause the police to standby while masked hoodlums assault innocents without provocation as happened recently in Portland OR.

I do dine at home, Ms. Wilkinson, and I am a 100% Trump supporter. And hey, I do hate--the left, only because the left wants to use violence and government force to take my property and liberties, and they expect me to be silent while they do that, which is not going to happen.

I was going to say "Burn it down". But cannot bring myself to do it. Our ingrained civilities might be their biggest allies.

The left has abandoned law and order. What's really bad is they seem to be getting away with it. These people should be in jail. From the Red Hen stalker, to Antifa in Oregon, to the chaos on the southern border, the people doing this should be in jail.

It appears they are a wanting a civil war so maybe it's time to just start shooting them and leave them dead in the streets. America's problems will be solved and will be a far better place to live.

We're already in a civil war. These are the initial skirmishes. Their side is the only one inflicting actual violence. So far. The "Concord moment" isn't very far off.

She thinks it's her job to "prevent dissenters from participating in public life"? Dissenters from what? According to whom? Seriously? Is anyone preventing antifa thugs from participating in public life? Are transgender-pretenders publicly dissenting from their DNA and insisting you agree banned from public life? When did civilian-enforced totalitarianism become the norm???

I really tihnk a spitting incident, male or female, should get an instantaneous hard punch to the mouth.
As to the bike-lock-in-a-sock crowd, a bullet is the right defense against their deadly force.

These attempts to intimidate Trump's team or anyone whose views differ from the left's are just a warmup to much more extreme violence that will be aimed at us leading up to November 2020 and beyond. More Antifa cells are forming and they will taunt, maim, and kill. Unless they are dealt with in kind. Get your conceal carry permit and know how and when to use your weapon. Have an attorney familiar with your local gun laws in your back pocket to represent you should you experience the need to fire at someone who threatened your life.

The thing that is so funny is that President Trump shamed this woman into cleaning her filthy restaurant! Pictures of some young snowflake washing the windows, and reports of the kitchen being cleared of rat carcasses and dead (and live) roaches. Sanders is lucky that she didn't eat there after all. Probably would have gotten sick!

The dems are following the example of Japan in 1941. They poked the wrong nation one too many times. Then we nuked them.

" 'Red' Hen, " how appropriately named. The evil Department of Education and the Education mafia across this once great land have un-informed a generation of children in this nation all about the value of socialism, and that communism wasn't really as bad as those evil right-wingers say it was. They are mongrels of education now and know no other way. It's now easy to grow them into Antifa mobs, because they've been told over and over again how "cool" all those Vietnam war protests really were (educators were never there either, but I digress), so wouldn't it be something to be a part of a "new" history-making event? Then there's the love for Woodstock amongst all the overage Hippies who lead the universities and bureaucracies. They long for another "take drugs and do whatever" moment, as do their young students (your children). Every major city in this country is a haven for liberalism and a tender-box for revolutionary thought and action. This reaction against this President is getting stronger and will eventuate in more Antifa-style uprisings, and once those uprisings catch the attention of the excitement deprived youth who long to be part of "history" then full scale revolts could take place over any stated issue, be they, reparations, universal health care, homo rights, immigration, you name it. This is going to be a very, very "hot" summer.

I’m going to say it, physical violence has to be fought with physical violence because that’s the language the left understands. All of them are bullies and once you beat the crap out of them, then and only then will they back down.

The Red Hen harpy will never dine with the Queen of England, but Sarah did. And the food was cooked in a clean kitchen, to boot!

FTA: “the American Bar Association should signal that anyone who defends the border patrol’s mistreatment of children will not be considered a member in good standing of the legal profession.”
They may add ' and join the NAZI Party or you will never work again.'
