I don't care that the guy is a racist. He wasn't told to leave because he's guilty of a thought crime. He was told to leave because he was disrupting a public space (and being really racist). He could have gotten his coffee and been on his way - regardless of how he feels about any religion or race - but he had to bother another person in line. It's not a left issue or a right issue. It's basic common decency - and he flunked that test badly.

Thanks for the REAL Americans and REAL Christians of the world. I'd patronize their business if it wasn't so far away.

Golden rule applies. If you wouldn't say it to your wife, daughter, mother, then you shouldn't say it to someone you don't know. Clearly, lots of people had deficient parents if they think insulting total strangers is ok.

This has ZERO to do with imaginary friends.

Idiot. Learn some manners and try to use whatever excuse for a brain you have.

That said, is this ‘event’ really world news? Someone acts like a bigoted idiot and gets called out on it. Wow.

LOL, Jimizo, well I guess if it made world news it must be high on the list of trending subject matter.

With all the anti-Muslim hate going on in the US and Trump's implicit and sometimes explicit support for it, a coffee shop worker on the ground standing up for basic human decency is indeed a heart-warming image, and we need more of this.

Well said Joe!

Ditto!

Excellent point!

Absolutely. Good on Tawny Alfaro.

I saw something identical in Hawaii when a guy was insulting a Muslim woman and an restaurant security guard intervened saying him: Shut your mouth up! Nobody will help you when many of them will confront you. And that guy said: Don't worry I have trump on my side.

Race hate crime is a result of insecurity. They guy should be sentenced to a moth cleaning mosque toilets.

Race hate crime

Islam is not a race. It’s a religion. Muslims often tell you there are adherents from all over the planet. They are right

This is not a pedantic point.
