Here’s a dispatch from Hell, courtesy of ABC-13 in Virginia, where on Tuesday, protesters picketed the Lexington restaurant that kicked Sarah Huckabee Sanders out last weekend:
Protesters made their presence known, lining the street and corner, and drawing attention to what many of them call an attack on President Donald Trump’s Administration.
The outrage comes days after the Red Hen’s owner asked Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave the restaurant Friday night.
One man got especially creative with his protest:
Reginald Scott See, 51, of Martinsburg, West Virginia, was arrested and charged with littering and disorderly conduct after throwing chicken feces toward the Red Hen Tuesday afternoon.
Here is a picture of the alleged deuce:
Note that this man is from Martinsburg, WV, which, according to Google Maps, is 2 hours and 19 minutes away from Lexington, VA. It’s unclear whether he brought the crap with him over 150 miles and across state lines just to throw it on the sidewalk, or if he found a local farm and stole the dook right from under a chicken’s ass. I’m going to choose to believe it’s the latter.
While this is at least a little bit funny, what’s not funny is the fact that one guy reportedly held up a sign that said “Unless they repent Let God Burn Them (LGBT) 2 Peter 2:6,” and another that said “Homos are full of demons.” Others reportedly flashed Make America Great Again flags and the campaign signs of white nationalist Senate candidate Corey Stewart, because this outrage cycle is definitely all about civil rights or whatever and not at all about ginning up support for horror show Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections.
Just remember folks: the only reasonable response to people who are throwing shit at you, either literally or figuratively, is Civility. It’ll work one day, just trust me.
