No he didn't. He made assumptions on these kids' future over an incident that happens every Halloween across all socioeconomic and racial lines.

Ok, so Buffalo Wild Wings should be punished because the owner has said that the National anthem won’t be played due to it possibly alienating some of its patrons? Or should we all ignore that and continue going to bww?

no

And now you immediately turn this into a left vs right thing.

It’s simply about not wanting a person that lacks basic self awareness to understand their position and not post racially motivated rants on FB to run a franchise.

This is common sense.

Yeah. I live in a relatively affluent neighborhood with mostly white kids. They do the same thing on Halloween. Pretending taking extra candy on Halloween is a cultural issue and a harbinger of a life of violent crime is silly.


You’re purposefully being ignorant here...

You should stop going to BWW because the wings suck and the service is horrific.

A college professor recently claimed that grammar and math are racist. Apparently, so is the truth.

Why are certain groups more likely to be behind bars? Because they are far more likely to do shite that is illegal.


Why is it wrong to acknowledge this?

This has been a problem in the past, it’s a problem today, and if we continue to ignore this it won’t be a problem in the future?

Look, I'm not saying that what he said isn't 100% true. But that's not how it works, bro. I don't know what BWW guy said but sure, it's a double standard. It sucks... but that's just the way it is.

So if we were to look at crime statistics for every race, they would be the exact same and would reflect their percentage of the population?

No. You, the Walk-ons guy, and plenty in this thread are trying to shoe horn taking Halloween candy from an unaccompanied bowl on Halloween as a cultural issue that leads to a life of crime. It's revealing, but not in the way you think.

He displayed self awareness that others do not want to acknowledge out of fear.

I have zero issue with this, just saying what most don’t have the balls do but we’re already thinking. I would actually consider going to eat at walkons to support him after this and I don’t eat at walkons

I’ve seen plenty of white grandmas wearing airbrushed t-shirts after their POS grandkids OD’d on heroin or wrapped their 97 Chevy Montecarlo around a tree despite having a suspended license from their 4th DUI
