Sounds like some people deserved to be arrested at the least.  I guess they weren't busy and they had nothing better to do than try to shame someone. 

Google says Dadeland Mall is in Miami.  Anyone know anything about that area?

Did a search on youtube and found this.  Sounds like a great neighborhood.

I read the Fox News version of the story. As usual, little detail. However, if anything in the story is accurate, it sounds like 50% of the employees at that location need to be fired. In fact if the victim's and witness statements are accurate, there might be the potential for arrests. I might consider myself in physical danger in that situation.

Hmmm . . . sounds like a large group of peaceful diners ought to descend on that restaurant while wearing MAGA hats and carrying discrete video recording equipment. Or at least smartphones. Could be a LOT of material for YouTube.

Really, it's surprising that so far no smartphone video of the incident has surfaced. If the story is true, at the very least, ALL of the employees who took part in this harassment and threatening behavior - every last one of them - ought to be summarily fired. If they're not - it's a pretty solid indication that the restaurant approves of what they did.

Some employees are on leave pending outcome of something something. I thought this was fast food not cops.

If you organized a mass group of diners, make sure you either bring video cameras or don't eat the food or both.  Best just to abandon that food chain.

The factory has apologized to Mr. MAGA Hat, and fired two employees.

We need more people like this, but without the discrimination.  If they'd harass, ridicule and threaten anyone wearing any hat at the damn dinner table, I'd be asking where to send my donations.

Based on the description of the incident, it would appear they need to fire a lot more than two employees.
