In Star Buck's defense, the two black male patrons were asked to leave possibly for loitering and they refused to leave. The employees requested police services of which they complied and were required to. Only one side of the story is being told. This is a media circus. People are falling like sheep for this. This store might have a history of people hanging out and not buying anything while people who are buying something have no where to sit. I never trust the media in these type of reports. The viewer must dig deeper and resist hopping on the ban wagon.

Unfortunately most people will not take the time to look deeper into a story. And there are hundreds of people who are willing to post stuff from unsubstantiated sources online all the time, which the sheep will take as fact without any doubt.

Actually all of the patrons in the store said that they were not asked to leave by anyone before the police arrived. So are all these strangers lying? Seems a bit odd when homeless people can hang out all day and not order anything or other people can but not these two men.

I really don’t get this. The store policy was if people don’t purchase items they are asked to leave. Starbucks sells coffee etc, it is not a spot to wait. If the two gentleman wanted to stay buy a cup of coffee etc. Don’t be an ass about it. I used to wait tables. We had the same policy. Not hard to understand.
