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

He is. He's also a dumbarse for thinking leaving a bowl of candy out won't end up like this. If you want to make sure each kid gets their alloted piece of candy then sit at the door and hand them out.

Did you watch the video posted with the rant? It's quite obvious Brandon is a segregationist.

So he is only allowed to complain about lawless little shits if they are white?

Why don’t people learn that you don’t back down or apologize for speaking truths everyone Knows?

People that are “offended”, you didn’t want or need as customers anyway, because those are the types that chase off good, valuable customers.

The truth is the truth and there was nothing racial in that, just an apt societal observation.

Wafb has brought out all the usual suspects for this...

Joyce, Alfred, and you know where our man Gravy and the twins are going with this.

Thanks Brandon! The Newsday just picked up a bit.

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.


I wouldve never done this since I hated going to doorsteps and seeing empty buckets saying take one or two but I can also say that my parents would have beat my arse if I did that shite. They wouldve known instantly when checking the candy that no one gives each and every kid that much of the same candy.

You think Kibbles will get the right restaurant on this one? Or will she try to ruin the wrong franchise location?

It was more of the method than the message that bit him in the arse.

Also it’s silly to think stealing candy is a gateway drug to gang violence or prison.

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.

She'll use her 2nd down and short call from her playbook and attack all white males.

My parents would have beat me and made me return the candy had they known. I hid it from them though.

While I dont disagree with the guy, 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.


Yep. I agree. Even if you're not a business owner, the overall intelligence of someone who thinks rants like this are fine to post online without backlash must be pretty low.

It reminds me of the trashy women who post about their "haters", other women they hate, and relationship/baby daddy drama. There may not be a law against it, but it doesn't mean it isn't stupid and trashy to do.

Covington Walkons worked Essence weekend?

Somehow I doubt this guy in St Tammany owns the ones in Orleans that were shut down.

Facebook isnt the problem, the problem is the mentality of people like this guy.

I’m actually kinda glad FB allows me to see which of my ‘friends’ have these small-minded, antiquated views that simply dont sync up with reality... the reality is that i know lots of black folks who are professional, hard-working people and they dont fit the profile or stereotype that this guy is promoting AT ALL.

Yeah I didn’t read far enough to see it was Covington. This guy is clearly racist tho. I don’t see the correlation of kids taking more candy than they should (every kid has done this) and him talking about black mothers saying their son was a good boy after getting murdered
