The death threats are from leftists who are furious that the staff put out their fellow travelers and allowed the Cruz family to finish their meal.

What would the Democrats say if some prominent WOMAN Democrat were out eating in a restaurant with her family and was harassed and driven out of a restaurant.

Let's give it a try, although in a much more civilized manner. Quietly surround them and begin prayers that their hearts be changed so they no longer want to kill babies. They'd hate that more than being loudly berated!

irrelevant...a restaurant is in the position of accomodating a paying customer, and if he is being harrassed by non patrons, it is incumbent upon the manager, in his own best interests, to get those interlopers out of his customer’s face...

Which appears to be what was done, as expeditiously as possible given a lack of armed security.

No such law? Really? What kind of small business did you own? Anything open to the public? No matter, this is a restaurant, maybe slightly different than an auto parts store. If you think you have no responsibility for what goes on in your establishment, i think your insurance agent would like to have a chat with you.

One last time, the restaurant owner and staff handled the situation. If one of the staff called in the mob, hopefully the owner will figure it out and fire him or her.

My business was open, and my responsibilities were typical safety precautions, not fighting a mob to protect customers. If insurance covers that, I’d hate to see the premiums. Perhaps bars and nightclubs with armed bouncers can afford that kind of insurance, not retail stores like mine. Our insurance covered inventory and accidents, not invasions.

Again, you said businesses have no responsibility to protect its customers. I said you’re wrong. I am right.
