Chicago restaurant employee spits in Eric Trump's face
2019-06-26
[Breitbart] According to sources familiar with the matter, Eric Trump had, with a group of people, come into Aviary, an upscale lounge in Chicago, and the young woman‐an employee of the establishment‐came right up to him and spit in his face. Per an eyewitness, she murmured inaudibly something that sounded like it was anti-Trump. Then Secret Service agents who were there protecting Eric Trump jumped into action and took the woman into custody. She was put in handcuffs and placed in a police paddy wagon, a source with knowledge said. Eric Trump decided not to press charges against the woman in the end, and she was released from police custody.

#16  It looks like Mercutio called it. From the Daily Mail:

Cocktail lounge employee who 'SPAT on Eric Trump' is placed on leave as workers receive threats and fake reviews are posted online about the trendy Chicago bar after president's son slams 'disgusting' woman

Big mistake. He'll get no brownie points from the left for being "classy", and she'll do worse to someone else in the future.

People on our side need to grasp that putting the hammer down isn't "being mean". It's about making sure these psychos learn there's a price to be paid for this behavior.

BTW, great job there, Secret Service.

#14  Just because they ain't spitting on ya in the front don't mean they ain't spitting on yer food in the back of the house.

#13  There are two types of restaurants. Corporate and privately owned. There is a HUGE difference between the two and what happens to employees like this.

#12  Would you visit a restaurant where the staff is apparently so free and loose with expectorant? Closes in 6 months

#11  Sorry, TW, got to disagree on this one. She'll get fired and be a heroine to her crowd with another job or three offered for her "brave, principled stand". A year or two in County jail would go a long way to dissuading any other budding expectorants. Think NYC's long dead "Broken Windows" approach to law enforcement.

#10  as it’s Chicago

There was a time in old Chicago when such behavior in a bar would guarantee a beating.

#9  Can't see why this should be any different.

Because Mr, Trump is a gracious private citizen who chose not to press charges. One hopes the management will fire her for confusing stupid personal opinions with acceptable behqviour toward customers, but as it’s Chicago one is not sanguine.

#8  Spitting at a cop often results in an "assault with intent" charge. Can't see why this should be any different.

#7  Anti-semite waitress probably disapprove of all the work he's done to bring peace to the middle east.

#6  ...and placed in a police paddy wagon

Fun fact - the Boston Police Department stopped using this phrase about ten years ago 'cuz it's 'racially insensitive' or some such baloney.

#5  It's getting to be that 2020 is going to be our 1860. A house divided against itself can not stand.

#1  No name or photograph available from any news source. Charges not levied by victim of attack. No statement from restaurant. One can only guess.
