Sign 'joking' about domestic violence sparks outrage at Texas bar

PLANO — The handwritten sign over the bar at Scruffy Duffies in Plano read: "I like my beer like I like my violence. Domestic."

The words are now gone, but their impact lingers.

"I was like, 'Oh my gosh, do you see this?'" said 24-year-old Courtney Williams. She couldn't believe what she saw on the chalkboard inside Scruffy Duffies Saturday night.

Williams was offended.

"How does someone think it's OK to put something like that up there?" she asked.

Williams asked the female bartender who had written the sign to erase it. Then Williams asked two managers.

They did not take it down.

Williams left the establishment at the Shops at Legacy and posted every detail — along with a photo of the sign — on Facebook.

That post has gone viral.

Once heard a guy say that he liked his fish like he liked his women: "beer battered".

Make the judgement yourself.

"I like my beer like I like my violence. Domestic."

Could've been written by a masochistic male.

How about I like my women like my golf scores, in the 80s with a slight handicap.

They like beer from the US. So what’s the problem? Isn’t domestic violence different from foriegn violence?

And this past Tuesday the bar owner fired the general manager.

“On Tuesday, the bar said it had fired its general manager.”

Along with so many other things of my youth, libtards have totally destroyed humor. I have worked in factories and shipyards for over 30 years - when I was young jokes in the shop were anything goes. Ethnicity, sex, race, height, weight, hair or lack of it, looks or lack of it - all fair game. And nobody got mad, sued or went on a shooting spree (though I do remember one guy whose daughter won a contest sponsored by a skin mag for being best at oral sex - he was teased so much about it he had to quit). Nobody dares to talk like that today, and we are all uptight and constantly looking around for the SS to overhear us. We have become a nation of frightened, humorless fags and pussies - and we wonder why people sometimes lose it. God gave us laughter as a stress relieving mechanism and we have carelessly thrown it away as we have so many of His gifts.

I wonder her opinion on abortion. Not a violent act, to her, perhaps.
