The Star-Spangled Banner as a weapon of mass terrorism
American Thinker ^ | 1 May, 2023 | Andrea Widburg

A TikTok user named Paulina was recently terrorized beyond imagining while at the Rainbow Oaks Country Market, in Fallbrook, California. No, she wasn’t shot at by an illegal alien with an illegal gun. Nor was she beaten by screaming men claiming to be women. This was even worse than being misgendered. The National Anthem played on the restaurant’s television and sound system, and diners stopped eating, stood up, and placed their hands over their hearts. For Paulina, this triggered fear and, on her part, racism. That’s depressing. Even more depressing is that the most popular commenters shared her fear, outrage, and disgust.

Before getting to the video, it’s worth learning more about Paulina. In a crude video (language warning) Paulina, who is clearly Hispanic, boasts about being a first-generation college graduate in her family. In another video, she explains that she worked two jobs to get through San Diego State University, a taxpayer-funded college. On their face, both those posts are laudable, and they reflect the American dream: “hard-working immigrant makes good.” But there’s a little more going on about Paulina’s American dream.

Somewhere along the line, Paulina has been trained to hate and fear America and Americans. When she found herself in a restaurant where patrons stook for the Star-Spangled Banner, not only did she continue eating, she labeled the experience as “By far the most dangerous situation I’ve ever been in.” (Hat tip: Daily Dot.)

None of those patrons were paying attention to Paulina. None shouted out ugly, anti-immigrant or anti-minority slogans. The answer to Paulina’s terror lies in the hashtags. Paulina, who got an education courtesy of taxpayers, included the hashtags “#illegal” and “#whitepeoplethings.” In other words, she’s an illegal alien who benefitted from, yet still ridicules and fears, the people of a country...

I’m pretty sure I had lunch there once—around 1980. The juke box featured old Hank Williams tunes, among other things. The eatery is off Interstate 15 (Rte. 395 in those days) just south of Temecula.

I would never have guessed. She uses a CCP product to trash America.

What a dull and sheltered life this little narcissist must live.

Just stay home, Paulina. It’s a win-win. You won’t be subjected to these dangerous situations and we won’t have to be around you.

If Paulina was so frightened why didn’t she stand in order to blend in with the crowd instead of choosing to draw attention to herself by continuing to sit and eat?

Hmmm.

While the tic tockers reaction was bizarre-—what is the stanard for the National Anthem. If it was being played live in the establishment I can understand standing up...but if it is played on television, I do not think there is a requirement to stand.

No, I don’t think there is a requirement to stand. This illegal immigrant just felt threatened because others stood.

You're free to pack up and leave Paulina. Before you go you might want to learn “The Internationale.'' It's the communist anthem. Maybe you'd like that better.

I have lived in Fallbrook twice, about 40 years apart.

The first time was the best.

Sit her fat azz on a trebuchet and fling the ungrateful little subhuman cockroach back across the border.

“..but if it is played on television, I do not think there is a requirement to stand.”

Military is required to stand, and if they were within 20 miles of San Diego, it’s safe to say that there was a high percentage of military and or veterans at the restaurant at the time.

This regulation also applies to the playing of the National Anthem.
