A VEGAN RESTAURANT IN THE CAPITAL
OF THE COUNTRY OF GEORGIA WAS TARGETED BY WHAT SOME ARE
REFERRING TO AS ULTRANATIONALISTS AND IN SOME
CASES, PEOPLE ARE REFERRING TO THEM AS NEO-NAZIS. THESE
INDIVIDUALS WHO ATTACKED THE
VEGAN RESTAURANT RAN AWAY FROM THE SCENE BEFORE THE POLICE
OFFICIALS GOT THERE SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR IDENTITIES ARE
AND WE ARE UNSURE OR UNCLEAR OF WHAT THEIR ACTUAL POLITICAL
IDEOLOGY IS BUT WITH THAT SAID, ACCORDING TO REPORTS, AT LEAST
15 ASSAILANTS STORMED INTO THE SMALL CAF… IN THE GEORGIAN
CAPITAL AND BEGAN HURLING SAUSAGES, MEAT AND FISH AT BOTH
STAFF AND CUSTOMERS, ACCORDING
TO WITNESSES. THE INCIDENT WAS DESCRIBED AS AN ANTI-P CAN
PROVOCATIVE ACTION AND CALLED
THE ATTACKERS NEO-NAZIS WHO SUPPORT FASCIST IDEAS. ONE
OWNER OF THE RESTAURANT SAYS THEY PULLED OUT SOME GIRL MEAT,
SAUSAGES, AND FISH AND STARTED EATING THEM AND THROWING THEM AT
US, AND FINALLY THEY STARTED TO SMOKE. THEY WERE JUST TRYING TO
PROVOKE OUR FRIENDS AND DISRESPECT US. 1ST OF ALL, THIS
ATTACK IS TERRIBLE.
I AM VERY UPSET THAT THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH IT, BUT IT IS THE
MOST ABSURD ATTACK I'VE EVER HEARD OF IN MY LIFE.
THERE IS ONE PART OF IT WHERE THEY ARE SAYING THAT IT WAS
AGAINST THE LGBT COMMUNITY BECAUSE APPARENTLY IS A HUB
WHERE LGBT PEOPLE GET TO MEET. THERE IS NOTHING GAY OR THEN
HURLING MEET AT SOMEONE. THAT IS KIND OF THEM AMAZING THING.
THESE RESTAURANT OWNERS, THEY SEEM LIKE THEY ARE LIBERAL
INDIVIDUALS. THEY ALSO HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED AS HIPSTER
LOOKING. THEY ARE PIERCINGS AND MOHAWKS. THEY WOULD DRESS A
CERTAIN WAY WHICH PROBABLY ALSO ATTRACTED THE NEGATIVE ATTENTION
THAT THEY GOT. I'M NOT CONDONING THAT. I THINK THAT IS
DISGUSTING, BUT THESE NATIONALISTS DON'T LIKE ANYONE
THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM THEM. THEIR CONSERVATIVE IDEAS AND
THEY DON'T LIKE THE GAY COMMUNITY. HERE YOU HAVE THESE
YOUNG LIBERAL INDIVIDUALS HAVE A VEGAN RESTAURANT AND THEY GET
ATTACKED JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY LOOK AND JUST BECAUSE THEY
REFUSE TO EAT ANIMAL PRODUCTS. IT IS RIDICULOUS. YOU COME OUT
THEM WITH SAUSAGES AND YOU ARE PUTTING IT THEM IN YOUR MOUTH.
IS A VERY STRANGE WAY TO PROTEST
PRO-LGBT.
AT THIS POINT, IT IS ESTABLISHED THAT IF YOU ARE
SOMEWHAT HOMOPHOBIC, YOU ARE PROBABLY A LITTLE CURIOUS ABOUT
THE WAY DICK'S TASTE IN YOUR
MOUTH. I AM JUST GOING TO PUT THAT OUT THERE. IF YOU ARE
HOMOPHOBIC IN THIS DAY AND AGE
WERE THERE IS THE INTERNET AND YOU KNOW THAT IT IS NOT A CHOICE
THAT PEOPLE MAKE AND EVEN IF IT WAS, WHY THE FOLKS YOU CARE?
YOU ARE KIND OF GAY. IT'S JUST MY OPINION. THIS IS WHAT I
BELIEVE. THERE IS NOTHING AS IRONIC AS SOMEONE WHO IS LIKE
WHATEVER, FUNKY GAY PEOPLE.
LOOK AT THE SAUSAGE. THIS IS WHAT YOU DO. I DON'T LIKE THIS.
YOU LIKE IT. GET OUT OF HERE. IT IS SO SECRETLY GAY. IT'S
LIKE RICK PERRY TALKING ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY AND GETTING REAL
TENSE AND SWEATY. OH, YEAH, THOSE GAY PEOPLE. I HATE THEM
IN MY ASS.
YOU MAKE A REALLY GOOD POINT. YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT AND THAT
OFTEN TIMES WHEN YOU HEAR A VERY ANTI-LGBT RHETORIC COMING FROM A
REPUBLICAN OR CONSERVATIVE POLITICIAN, IT USUALLY TURNS OUT
LATER THAT THAT PERSON IS GAY
THEMSELVES.
LINDSEY GRAHAM.
THEY ARE PROJECTING AND I TOTALLY GET YOUR LINE OF
THINKING THERE. I AM I A BAD PERSON FOR HEARING ABOUT PEOPLE
THROWING SAUSAGES AND THINKING THAT IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY?
ON ONE HAND, I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO BE ATTACKED AND I KNOW THIS
WAS AN ATTACK AND I WANT TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM ANY KIND OF
ATTACK BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS SO ABSURD AND WEIRD. IT'S
LIKE THE MOST UNUSUAL ATTACK
I'VE EVER HEARD ABOUT THE BY THE WAY, WHY WOULD ANYONE CARE
THAT MUCH IF OTHER PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO EVEN THE PRODUCTS ARE
ANIMAL PRODUCTS?
FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS THE ONE THING THAT I DO HATE ABOUT THE
VEGAN COMMUNITY AND IT'S A STEREOTYPE BUT IT IS THE FACT
THAT THEY WON'T SHUT THE FOG UP
ABOUT BEING A VEGAN AND EVERY SINGLE POINT. HEY, HAVE I TOLD
YOU I AM A VEGAN TAXI WITH THIS
RESTAURANT? I AM A VEGAN. HAVE THESE PLANES BEEN TAINTED
BY ANIMAL FLESH BECAUSE I'M A VEGAN. YOU ARE NO DIFFERENT IF
YOU ARE GOING TO PROCESS THE VEGANS WHEN THEY WANT TO EAT
SALADS. IF YOU WERE TO SAUSAGES AND YELL AT THEM IT IS NO
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE CRITICIZE
BEGINS 4.
AS A HUGE EAT MEAT EATER AND ALSO ANIMAL RIGHTS ADVOCATES
IN A WAY, I DON'T CONDONE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR BECAUSE THEN
YOU ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN THE VEGAN SO WE CRITICIZE FOR
NEVER SHUTTING UP ABOUT BEING A VEGAN.
I AM SUPER CONCERNED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT I AM GOING TO BE
ABLE TO EAT LUNCH ON ANY GIVEN DAY BECAUSE OUR SCHEDULES ARE SO
BUSY THAT I JUST CAN'T EVEN FATHOM BEING CONCERNED ABOUT
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE EATING.
YOU WORRY ABOUT YOU. YOU WANT TO EAT MEAT?
THERE IS SOME RAMIFICATIONS TO THAT TO THE GOVERNMENT WHICH
BY THE WAY, I AM GUILTY OF CONTRIBUTING TO, BUT YOU DO YOU.
IF PEOPLE WANT TO BE VEGANS ARE VEGETARIANS OR PRESBYTERIANS,
WHO CARES?
I DO AGREE WITH YOU THAT I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE EATING
HABITS OF OTHER PEOPLE SO WHATEVER YOUR LIFESTYLE IS,
KEEP IT TO HERSELF.
EATING HABITS, WHETHER YOU LIKE EATING DICKS OR MEAT OR
WHATEVER YOU LIKE TO DO.
KEEP IT TO YOURSELF AND WE ARE COOL. SAME GOES BOTH WAYS.
