SOME TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE NOW RAISING HAVOC

…The irate Trump supporter in a Chicago Michael’s store

 

Some of the crazies that voted for Trump are coming out in the open.

 

Well, I guess it was destined to happen, some of the crazies that voted for Trump are coming out in the open.  And the results aren’t pretty.

 

Thanks to the overall availability of smart phone videos, one offensive Trump supporter was videod by a young mother in a Michael’s arts and craft’s store; one was a passenger on a Delta plane; and another one was a Florida man that totally berated a Starbucks barista. All were in videos that went viral.

 

The young mother, Jessie Grady said, “The reason that I posted the video is because people need to know that this is real,” she stated this about her Michaels footage. “Americans need to know that this is happening. And they need to stand up and do something about it, and say that this is not okay. I’m from the South, so I know a lot of people there who were Trump supporters. They’re saying this doesn’t happen, that it’s not real. I thought, okay, they know me…. and I need to show this because this is coming from a real ugly person.”

 

The video she took is on YouTube, and has been viewed by well over 2 million viewers.  It’s over 10 minutes long, but the whole episode took about 45 minutes in the Michael’s store.  Ms. Grady didn’t even start her video until after the confrontation started, so it doesn’t show what started the rant. 

 

However, Ms. Grady was there for the whole time and she says that the person that started the confrontation, started in line in front of Ms. Grady.  She then let Jessie and her daughter go ahead of her and then things started downhill.

 

It was minutes later when she witnessed and started filming the other customer’s “unprovoked attack” in which the woman unloaded on a black Michaels employees.  The woman started claiming that she was being discriminated against because she voted for President-elect Donald Trump…?  “Yes I voted for Trump! So there! What??  You want to kick me out because of that?” the woman shouts in the video. “And look who won! And look who won! And look who won,” she continued to shout.

 

According to Grady, the Nov. 23^rd incident occurred at the arts and crafts store in Chicago after the woman told Grady to go ahead of her at the register. Once Grady was done checking out, she said she heard the woman grow very irate. The woman’s “racist rant,” Grady said, included on-going racial and highly vulgar slurs.

 

“It just initially sounded like a disgruntled customer for a second,” Grady told The Washington Post. “And then she made a homophobic slur, she started cussing the manager, saying all sorts of things. It just got out of control. So I waited, but when she started yelling that these African American women are discriminating against her, that’s when I pulled out my phone and started the video.”

 

At one point in the video, the irate woman is seen confronting Grady about her camera phone.  “I don’t know what you think you’re videoing, lady,” she says. “I don’t know what you think you’re videoing. I was just discriminated against by two black women. And you being a white woman, you literally thinking that that’s okay, you standing there with your baby thinking that’s okay? I don’t know why you’re videoing.”

 

“When she started spinning out of control was when white people didn’t stand up for her,” Grady said. “Because if you see in the video, even though she’s insulting me, her total demeanor changes when she’s speaking to me, as opposed to the African American employees. She was still looking for an ally in me, even though she is shouting at me.”

 

Grady said she didn’t film the incident just to post it online, but rather because she thought the woman might contact the store and complain at a later date.  “I was thinking, ‘I’ve worked in retail. If she’s going to treat them like this, then she’s going to call tomorrow and she’s going to demand a big discount because the customer’s always right,’ ” she said.

“But this customer is very wrong.”

 

Other bystanders did stand in support of the employees, and the police did finally respond. A Chicago police spokesman has said that there were no arrests or citations given.

 

However, as I said, this is just one of these bizarre types of responses to Trump’s winning the election.

 

In the Delta flight, the Trump supporter also became disgruntled for some unknown reason and was videoed walking up and down the middle aisle of the plane yelling “Donald Trump baby, he’s your president now baby.  If you don’t like it, that’s too damn bad!!!”  He just continued his expletive filled comments in support of Donald Trump and was eventually subdued on the plane.  He was subsequently banned from any future Delta flights.

 

Finally, a Florida man, Mr. David Sanguesa, was caught berating a Starbucks barista in footage that later went viral.  Mr. Sanguesa has had a history of saying he has been discriminated against.  But this time he says it was because he had a pro-Trump display on his car.  The whole thing became a news story on the Florida ABC affiliate WPLG.  Sanguesa told the TV reporter that a barista would not serve him because he was a Trump supporter, he said he viewed it as “anti-white discrimination”.

 

I have a feeling that if Trump doesn’t come through with many of the crazy things he has promised his supporters, there’s going to be some serious problems in the streets.
