Several people have sent me this little snippet (in which, by the way, we can play our “Guess The Race” game):
Videos posted to social media show a mob of young Black men, teens and children violently attacking a Hooters restaurant in Plano, Texas on Thursday, according to posters of the videos. Customers and staff were attacked at the entrance and windows were smashed. A woman inside the Hooters can be heard off camera exclaiming, “It’s over a f***ing chocolate bar!”
The videos show what appears to be staff retreating to the entrance from a dispute outside in the parking lot that turned violent. The staff is attacked in the vestibule, with one male staff member assuming the BLM kneeling position to no avail. [well duh — Kim]
For those who are going “Huh?” at this happening in Plano of all places, I should point out that like so many otherwise-idyllic places, Plano has its dark side [lol], which is a couple square miles straddling the Central Expressway (U.S. 75) and is home to all sorts of evil scum and wretched villainy.
To we residents of the ummmm tonier side of Plano, the Third World begins east of Alma Drive. Here’s a map, with the Hooters location marked towards the south end:
What’s interesting is that literally a parking lot away from Hooters is a redneck restaurant called Love And War In Texas, which features live country music and exotic meats on its menu. Had this little “chocolate war” threatened this restaurant, there would have been gunplay, from both customers and staff.
My place is way off the map to the west, by the way, closer to the “corporate executive” part of Plano.
Anyway, there is a bright side to this little tragedy. As Jim notes:
Fortunately, the Hooters calendar models event was held a few days before.
Given that this event typically features an audience of 90% truckers and rednecks (some overlap), it was fortunate indeed. For the youths.
If everybody carried shotguns all the time this shit would cease right away.
Apparently said yoots cannot read signs that say “No Soliciting”. Or, they can read the signs but don’t know what that means.
I did note on a video of the incident on TMZ that several men, including one rather large black man, ran them off after they attacked the manager.
Something else: this is a situation where rock salt applied from a shotgun would be an epiphany.
Good intel to know. Flew into Addison last night, stayed in Frisco, have meetings today in Plano.
Remington 870 twenty loaded with #3 buck shot should quell the disturbance. Just be ready to use it.
Plano has had a bit of a jogger problem, of late. This is what you get when you start zoning for “affordable” apartment complexes. It’ll go pear shaped right quick when the real estate market sags.
I used to live on the LH side of the map at Park and Custer (more or less). Used to be a great place. Still is for the most part. But I noticed the local kroger having a lot of blecks, where it used to have none. I’d extend that line east along park to jupiter south to plano parkway then back west – like a ‘b”. Rest of the city is nice.
Interestingly, when my kids were at Plano Senior HS, they’d send the stats each year. Blacks were like 2% of the student population, and something like 50% of them dropped out.
Another interesting tidbit for those not living here – average house price is ~$475K. But from the Costco marker in the map almost to Spring Creek is a yuge trailer park.
Being an establishment that serves “firewater” I’d venture to guess this is a “gun free” zone, even if it is Texas.
As Jimmy said to Waco in the 1943 “Sahara”, “Why, that’s a sucker bet.”
The only ones who seem to want to take this bet are Leftists, who believe in the better natures of thugs and hooligans the way Charlie Brown always believed the promises of Lucy to not snatch the football away in mid kick.
