While I dont disagree with everything the guy said, you'd think a business owner would be a little more cautious in what they say on social media these days. I realize that its ridiculous that you have to watch your words these days, but the "that offends me" crowd has made it their mission to do any type of harm possible to someones livelihood if they think they can. And at that stage, he has to think about not only his family's income, but also the livelihoods of all his employees as well.

Whats also sad is that now, WalkOns will probably have to send out some PC tweet and message on FB saying the same usual bullshite all companies do about not condoning these actions, we respect all customers, yada, yada, yada..

Truth hurts. If you don’t like it, change it.

I have zero problem with that. May go eat at Walk Ons tonight, actually.

Brandon needs to calm down. I took the whole bowl of candy a couple of times when I was a kid and it didn't lead me to a life of crime.

Should’ve stopped halfway through. Went a bit too far, but still funny.

I think he could have argued his point without throwing the race baiting stuff out there but its a free country ( for now).

He is a business owner of a very recognizable chain of restaurants. I am sure there is some wording in his contract with Walkon's that will frown on his FB post.

Maybe Walk Ons closing during the Essenes festival did have racial reasonings

I can’t wait for the new Walk Ons commercial where Brandon takes off his warmup pants and has the Scotlandville High game playing on all the TVs in the restaurant.

shite it doesn’t even matter if you are looking. Had many kids come to my house on Halloween. Only one demographic continually didn’t say anything to me and reached into the bucket to grab as much as they could. The rest would wait for me to give it to them.

Not a father in sight.

What he said is exactly right, but you still can't say that shite out loud to just anybody, or on social media. Especially a person in his position.

I haven't read this entire thread, but i'm calling it now. He doesn't survive it. It's over. They'll buy him out or pull the franchise or something and this will be one more example of stupid people not shutting the frick up.
