they after ole baw pretty good.

dude has apologized, that was his mistake. These people don't want any apologies. They want to ruin people. Even his poor wife has tried to no avail.

quote:

Racist Mr. Jim Berrigan is the owner of Louisiana Glass Inc. he took to social media to address the recent events that happened at the Hamilton Play that Vice President Elect Pence attended. Jim decided to call the play a "Nig" show. Short for "Ni**er" show. Well it's time that Jim Berrigan lose some business. We must find out who is currently contracting him to install glass in their business and demand that they spend else where. If they continue to support him we won't support them. #BoycottJim. His racism in Baton Rouge should not be tolerated or accepted. We will no longer be silent while racist profit in this city. Don't be afraid to share this black people, and progressive whites, this is how we fight in 2016. Use the tools at your disposal to combat hatred and bigotry every day.

Jim Berrigan Jr please accept my apology I really don't know how it works on Facebook.

Just because you were raised in a certain generation where certain behavior was* acceptable and/or the norm does not give you an excuse to continue to practice these unacceptable ways....See More

his wife tried to comment on his account.

Jim Berrigan Jr I understand the emotions and feelings involved with sharing this information and just want those reading who know anyone in our family, this does not represent our views as a whole. You must do what you have to but please know, especially my friends of color, I truly do love you and do not use this type of language. I know Jim is sorry that's all I can say for him except that he has always been very good hearted to many people in need, black and white. This was thoughtless and unacceptable. God bless us all.

Plenty of people will still hire him (or hire him because he said this, even).

But when are people, especially business owners, going to learn to stay off the facebooks

This is how the market works. We'll see if these people have any influence with his clients, but I doubt they will.

This is ridiculous. But I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for a business owner that is too fricking stupid(and racist) to write "Nig show" on social media. I mean, what the frick dumbass?

i'm thinking the same. They have a false sense of being meaningful in the community over there in that group for sure.

LA Glass has their main office/warehouse off of Coursey behind Chimes East.

If you know that area, it's like a mini-ghetto.

LA Glass is about to get fricked up.

Holy crap. I met this guy last year when he did a glass job for me on an insurance claim. GREAT guy and very, very nice.

I hate to see this for him.

I really am at a loss as to why people feel a reason to put shite like this on social media. Particularly a guy with a company like this that relies on a lot of word of mouth and referrals.

Twitter and Social Media is one of the lowest forms of communication. My wife is on Twitter, Facebook, etc.. all the time and I can't begin to tell you how much petty bullshite I hear about.

Business is tough enough without trick fricking yourself on something as asinine as social media.

he needs to stop apologizing. Apologizing to them is like a child running away from a mean dog. We all know what's going to happen.

Gary is such a fat piece of shite.

I would use this guy if I was in BR. Not because of what he said, but because the ones attacking him are hypocrites.

They talk about God and all that in their profiles then go after someone who did something dumb and apologizes like a pack of wild dogs.

If they were really as Christian as they say they would try and sit down with this guy and talk to him and let him know they think what he did is wrong and work with him to try and patch things up. Not go after his livelihood.

People like Gary sit on their fat, lazy arse and scour the internet looking for something like this and when they find it they feel like they have hit the jackpot. Then they try to jam them up as much as possible and cause even more hard feelings and a divide.

Did I mention that Gary is fat and that he can go frick himself?

Is it really a witch hunt when the guy posted the n word on his public Facebook account?



Also, why is everyone so mad about what the Hamilton guy said to Pence? I saw the video and he was respectful about it and even Pence didn't have a problem with it.

this is all above board and legitimate
