I don't know that anyone has said that. 


One guy even said it was like "feeding deer"

You know. The guy owns runs a popular bar grill... maybe he had to go run a Halloween party at his bar... maybe judge a costume contest for his employees... he tries to do the right thing... Kids do the wrong thing.

But posting it... well that's a whole other thing there..

Yeah, the kids did the wrong thing, but not the unexpected thing. It’s like leaving a couple teenagers who are dating alone unsupervised with a bed and being SHOCKED that they had sex. I mean, who couldn’t see that coming?

The same outcome happens in literally any neighborhood with trick-or-treaters. The fact that he attributed it due to their race is also stupid.

Kids want to interact, say trick or treat, meet their neighbors see costumes, not be treated like an animal and be fed candy through a trough.

Smells like frustration with his employees got projected onto these little kids via the internet.

Some of his post is spot on but he definitely goes too far.

There is also a "culture" of stupid, racist business owners that think they should post all of their thoughts on facebook and plenty that encourages it.

So... expecting kids to follow the rules makes him an a-hole? K. 



As a black man, I dont have a problem with him being annoyed or even angry with what transpired.

I have a problem with him lumping in an entire race for 1 the actions of three or four and 2 the actions of teenagers.

Kids and teenagers of every race and socioeconomic background do dumb and selfish things. The same posters who will co demn these kids are the same posters who love to reminisce over the things they use to do as kids that was dumb.

This rant was full of vitriol and he probably was just waiting for an excuse to tee off. Taking a bunch of candy from a bowl on Halloween does not equal lifetime criminal.

That rant reads like something an anon would post on here looking for clout.

Pretty dumb move on his part. Also, issuing an apology seems like a pointless gesture in this situation. If you really feel this way. Stand your ground.

When did chic-fil-a say kids will be on their auntie's t-shirts at their funerals?


I thought people only get upset with Chic-fil-a for not supporting Adam and Steve.

I'd be surprised to see the bottom line move up or down over this.

A few reasons.

1. Drinking
2. Anger/Depression
3. Wants to vent about "culture"
4. Perceived self importance

Many more reasons not to

How dare you try to interject logic, reason and reality into the racist bubble some posters here exist in... Dont you know they hate having their fantasy MAGA bubbles punctured by people like yourself?
