I hope the staff spat in their food
And they also arrested the people who hired these Illegal staff members right? Right?
I have midwest crisis fatigue and so Does most of america.
It is unclear who the individuals arrested are or what the reason was for their arrests
Wow great reporting. Didn’t contact the restaurant or anything. Just writing about videos people post on social media.
Not even telling us if they paid their bill, so i’m guessing not. Just ate for free then arrested them.
That is unfortunately SO much media these days. We should demand better, the media is the fourth pillar and its corruption and failure is to blame as much as anything else.
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
I mean they’re pigs, must be pork.
Boogers and cum
Yow! What a scoop!
They never heard “The Scorpion and the Frog”?
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.
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

Hypothetically, how would the police determine who on the staff accidentally added rat poison to their dish if there were not witnesses?
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
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.
At least I hope the staff spit on their food.
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?
That’s some Tarantino villain level bullshit.
Tarantino wishes he could come up ridiculously evil shits like those.
This is similar to the beginning of Inglorious Basterds. The milk scene.
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
Why those nazi terrorists aren’t being denied service everywhere they go is beyond me.
Probably because they’re often not clearly identifiable as law enforcement, let alone ICE.
Can’tIt’s not good business to deny service just because they look the type that might be ICE.Edit: People seem to be misunderstanding my intentions here. Businesses should totally refuse service to anyone clearly showing to be ICE or acting in a racist way. Fuck them.
I’m saying that it’s not in their best interest to deny service to middle aged white guys / rednecks because they look like they might be in ICE. They’d go out of business.
Republicans have literally fought tooth and nail to be able to refuse service to anyone (in their case, LGBTQ people, disabled people, and black people) which absolutely can and should be used to the fullest extent against them.
My stance is fuck ICE, but not people who are possibly ICE. Judge people based on how they act and the message they send, not based on which race and age group they belong to
For what it’s worth, I understood what you meant and am confused by their replies to you.
They certainly can, law enforcement isn’t a protected class. It might be bad for business, but nothing is stopping anyone from denying service to LEOs
@[email protected] is saying they_don’t_ clearly identify as cops when showing up to eat
If they’re going to stereotype people to detain them there’s nothing wrong with stereotyping them back. It won’t kill them to pack their own lunch.
I think you missed the point of what stereotyping is…
Define the type? Middle aged white dude? Maybe fat, maybe not. Maybe bald. Maybe not?
Most don’t have visible Nazis tats.
Groups of white, bearded, men in sunglasses and baseball caps, walking around puffed up with authority. It’s either ICE or cops, either way, fuck em.
“Go get some lunch big boy.”
That gravy seal is really holding the thin-crust line.
Too bad he’s a Nazi and deserves to be cold and alone at night the rest of his life, 'cause that’s a super cuddly looking guy.
Yea, they actually can. They can kick anyone out for any reason so long as it’s not because they are a protected class.
I wasn’t arguing the legality, just that it’s not in their best interest to deny service to someone because they might be ICE. If they can clearly tell that the people who walked in are ICE or acting in a racist way, then deny away.
