I hope the staff spat in their food
That’s some Tarantino villain level bullshit.
Nice Guy Eddie: C’mon, throw in a buck!
Mr. Pink: Uh-uh, I don’t tip.
Nice Guy Eddie: You don’t tip?
Mr. Pink: No, I just kidnap them afterwards.
Or Rodriguez: You really must try this because it’s “puerco pibil”. It’s a slow-roasted pork, nothing fancy. It just happens to be my favorite, and I order it with a tequila and lime in every dive I go to in this country. And honestly, that is the best it’s ever been anywhere. In fact, it’s too good. It’s so good that when I’m finished, I’ll pay my check, walk straight into the kitchen and shoot the cook.
I was thinking Johnny Depp’s character in Once Upon a Time in Mexico
It’s as cold as Minnesota in January
I wonder if they leave a bad or good review too
They’re butthurt that they couldn’t eat at a Mexican restaurant in last few days (sound on for best effect)
Maybe instead of heckling them out of restaurants, we should use those moments to record them removing their masks so we can connect them to their crimes?
And lacing their food with a lot of laxative.
Tiger whiskers. The victim dies weeks later, and you can just find them around tigers.
Lots of free-range tigers around Minnesota?
There’s more than one opportunity, and the heckling was pretty good.
Minnesota Nice. Fuck Ice!
Ah, so that explains a few things. A place I went to get some food yesterday, had the front doors locked. Someone had to let me in. Every time I’ve ever been there, it’s usually busy Being vague just in case ICE were to read this.
Hypothetically, how would the police determine who on the staff accidentally added rat poison to their dish if there were no witnesses?
Realistically, all of them would be considered guilty of the crime by simply being in the kitchen when it happened.
A conviction hungry DA would use the same laws that apply murder charges to the guy who drove the car. If it happened, and you could have theoretically known it was going to happen, and you still participated in any conceivable way, you also legally committed the crime.
This is one of the many ways this country persecutes black and brown people to feed the prison labor industry.
Working in a kitchen isn’t a felony though, nor is serving food normally. Now, if someone said they spit in the food and you knew about it but still served it, that could be a felony. If that ‘spit’ turned out to be rat poison and killed a guy, that’s felony murder.
There has to be a level of participation before felony murder happens. If you knew about something bad happening and did nothing to stop it. But, they have to be able to prove that you knew about it, or at least convince the judge/jury
Agree with you about it being used disproportionately on non-white though, there’s some fucked up felony murder charges out there.
You’re not wrong, but you’re not thinking like a shithead DA.
Rat poison was taken from the floor and added to the food of a police officer. We don’t know who exactly did it, but everyone in the kitchen could reasonably have known it was happening and did nothing to stop it, and therefore is guilty of felony murder.
Again, the DA doesn’t need to be right, they just need to convince a grand jury that there’s a chance they’re right, then they force the accused in to a plea deal. Because these are kitchen guys, they don’t make much money, so they’ll be using a public defender who will likely tell them they’re going to prison, and the best thing they can do is plea out.
Head chef, venue manager, and operator are all likely to face criminal charges for something like that. Regulators do not fuck around, least here in aus
Hope someone doxxes these bastards. Presumably they had to take the masks off to eat.
Simple response: Don’t feed the animals.
Oh you feed them you feed them the off menu special.
That actually reminds me of a story.
So in 2002 I worked at a place where the old owner still owned the property and he would come by to collect his rent cheques. German fellow, old guy.
He told a story once about growing up in Nazi Germany, he was very young at the time but old enough to remember it things.
In the town he grew up in, it was a small town, turns out one day the local butcher and his wife had the SS show up and take them off to be executed.
What they found it was Gestapo officers kept going missing in the area and everyone thought that they were taken to be questioned. No no it turned out that the old couple, who’s children had long left the town and had lived elsewhere, were snatching Gestapo officers and then butchering them and selling them by turning them into sausages.
He said the sausages tasted completely normal and everyone was quite surprised how good the sausages were given the fact they they were all eating human sausage
So they got booed out of one Mexican Restaurant and arrested a bunch of people at another in a fit of petty revenge?
Evil. Gimme a better term and I’ll use it. But for now: evil.
evil implies the only way to beat them is to be "good’. it demonizes them into being monsters, which is no different than what they do.
a better term is reprobate.
an unprincipled or depraved person
I would add unscrupulous, but it may be redundant.
Having or showing no regard for what is right or honorable.
oh I like that.
Evil is a nebulous term that can be applied by anyone to anything.
Similarly, calling them vile disgusting filth doesn’t work, as it could be used by members of ICE to describe the innocent men women and children they abuse.
We need a term that satisfies several criteria.
It must be true, in so far that it is inarguably applicable to any member of ICE.
It must be understandable at a 5th grade reading level, because this is America and that’s as good as most of his supporters can manage.
And it must not be applicable to the victims. Therefore the term cannot be purely emotional. But evoking an emotional response is kind of the goal.
Idk how about Genocide Squads?
They never heard “The Scorpion and the Frog”?
At least I hope the staff spit on their food.
I’d prefer arsenic
I hope the staff spat in their food
They probably didn’t, hoping to prevent exactly what happened.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers reportedly arrested three staff members from a Mexican restaurant outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Thursday evening, hours after the officers ate lunch at the establishment.
Horrible evil bastards thinking they are being clever
anybody know how to read the independent without an overlay telling you to swipe to read the next article covering up the current article you’re trying to read?
makes me want to just add them to my network blocklist
On mobile I use Firefox (I know I know just but hang on a minute) and there’s the option to turn to page reader friendly with a tap of an icon in the address bar, near the right side.
That usually gets rid of intrusive overlays, formats the text into a more readable face type and also uses dark mode.
On topic - I’m so sorry America is infested with ICE
NoScript so it blocks JS by default
