The restaurant has declined to comment about the alleged incident, but customers were more than happy to weigh in.
“I guess in this area, people don’t play about their food,” shrugged Courtney Marable to WREG-TV.
Fellow customer Tonya McGraw admitted the men’s actions were “crazy,” but suggested it could help improve customer service: “Next time they better get them wings right.” |
These are absolutely the best reactions to have.

There's two things I keep hearing after the fact on these bombings which make me want to slap people so hard they lose the ability to speak
1. People are claiming that the manhunt's recommendation to stay indoors was "martial law" enforced on the city, and saying, verbatim, that this represents the "largest violation of civil rights in US history"
2. Conspiracy shits claiming this was a false flag attack, like sandy hook |

| I am, luckily enough, able to avoid most of the "BOO ISLAM! ISLAM ENCOURAGES TERRORISTISMS!" crap in my day-to-day life, but for those less fortunate than I it's important to point out that the Tsarnaev brothers were actually extremely radicalized compared to their religious peers who were pro-American moderates. The older brother started going into fits when his mosque wanted to celebrate MLK Jr. Day or when the halal deli offered turkey for Thanksgiving. Virtually every other Muslim they associated with seems to have been no different from the average Christian in terms of extremism or radical tendencies. They were not the product of a religious environment that fostered suicide bombers, they were instead going against the grain in their own community and family lives. It's telling that their new-found zealousness and the direction it took was so starkly opposed to that of the people they had grown up with. Something to keep in mind the next time some dickwad spouts off about how this attack was obviously the result of the Islamic religion. |

I think we've reached a point where anything bad that happens in this country will be perceived as a false flag attack by someone. Too many people just plain prefer a narrative that plays the gubbermint as an omniscient and all powerful malevolence that will do anything to further any supposed goal.

| If you look at the arguments that are used by the conspiracy theorists, it's clear that they're going to see "proof" of government involvement as soon as a family member in the third degree of a government employee is within hearing distance of an incident. |

It's just amazing how much ground these false flag people get to cover in such a short time, though. I mean, maybe things will get better once alex jones up and fucking dies when his heart explodes of too much histrionic bad-crazy, but the idea that we got people in the immediate aftermath press conferences going "HI I'M HERE WITH INFOWARS DOT COM OFFICER ANY RESPONSE TO THIS BEING AN ATTACK STAGED BY THE US GOVERNMENT TO COVER .."
it's honestly just ..a rghdg hdgugr |

Conspiracy Theories are a mind rot.

I think you mean "... once the CIA field tests its new radio-frequency heart detonator on dissident journalists who ask too many inconvenient questions!" |

I don't understand why it's relevant that they received welfare benefits in the past. am I missing something?

Ah, thanks for that. I thought the rover got confused (or some NASA employees were fighting over the remote).
Will someone get fired over that I wonder?
