Seriously, what is the problem here?!! You describe the video sort of but don't have an actual link to the video, but instead have a picture of a Starbucks with a caption about the video? WTF? And don't click the link above, that's another story.

For those of you asking the see the video, did you not read the story (or the Editor's reply to the comment? The person who took it did not want it published: "The video, recorded by a cafe customer and provided to the Weekly on the condition that it not be published"
Do we really need to see the video? It has been widely reported what happened, I personally do not need to see a woman that is out of control berating a gentleman just because she does not agree with his political viewpoint or choice of clothing.

To me this is equivalent of Alex Jones showing up at an Austin bbq house to berate and insult all the people there. This woman, like Jones, is just another idiot running loose in our society. They should simply be marginalized and ignored as should anyone trying to provoke or berate by using politics.
We were all doing a good job of ignoring MAGA man just as the folks in Austin ignored Jones, but one lunatic simply could not ignore the other lunatic and here we are, talking about it as if it's not between to extreme fringe freaks.

@Iseee
Good points, but not sure she is anywhere near Alex Jones' league of freak. Isn't he the guy going through discovery in the lawsuit about his spreading the lies about Sandy Hook shooting being faked?
Hooking the freaks into believing 25 murdered 1st graders being faked is beyond even the Trumpian "fine folks on both sides" level of crazy...
Civility is a requirement. Prosecute incivility when it breaks the law.

"...but one lunatic simply could not ignore the other lunatic and here we are, talking about it as if it's not between two extreme fringe freaks."
Not sure what makes the guy in the hat a "lunatic" or an "extreme fringe freak". He was just reading his paper and drinking his coffee. I'm assuming it's the hat that's making you judge him so harshly. I appreciate you being against going off on strangers in coffee shops, but not sure that making assumptions based on headwear without actually talking to the person, then calling them freaks in a public forum is much better. What I was hoping people would be getting out of this story is that we need to talk to each other, hear the other side, not just assume the worst of them simply because they have different political views than you.
