A mob shouted expletives at outdoor diners and sat at an elderly couple’s table in St. Petersburg, Florida Wednesday.

The large group, donning signs and raised fists, chanted “stand up, fight back” in front of the restaurant, according to a video posted to Twitter by Tampa Bay Times reporter Josh Fiallo. One man sat down at an elderly couple’s table before about five others surrounded the diners yelling.

Protestors are now going restaurant by restaurant to chant at diners on Beach Dr. in St. Pete. A lot of diners yelled back, starting multiple confrontations.

This one was the most significant. Protestors took over a couple’s table. Not sure why they were targeted specifically.

This is why we're refraining from going to the "big city" (Pittsburgh, already infamous for such incidents) for a nice dinner out. We'll stick closer to home - where people are mostly sane - for the near future.

They never sit down at a table full of young service members or 1st responders?  I wonder why?   Bunch of Pu$$ies.  They all need their asses kick and sent packing.   I'm sick of this shit.

They think they’re winning converts?

Social miscreants with empty lives. Democrats.

One commentator (Hot Air? Power Line? Instapundit?) calls these paroxysms of idiocy "in-kind contributions to the Trump Campaign".

Try that crap in a redneck diner. Abusing elders... You'd be lucky to walk off with a knot on your head and a dot in your eye. That folks put up with this sh*t is an amazement to me.

There will be more dead if this drags on.

Pop a few who threaten you and the message will be clear.

Exactly what I was thinking.

They are cowardly predators. They instinctively know who won't fight back. They select their victims for that reason.

What ever happened to respect your elders? This is someone’s grandparents.

Beware of karma. One day they will be elderly. That is, if they don’t fall victim to a Darwin Award before they themselves are elderly.

Karma does work.

Oh it ain't their victims that I take umbrage with. It's the fellers with blue jeans and sh*tkickers (or more likely steel toes or carpenter boots) that let that crap carry on. Surely there's a construction crew or a road crew, or a loading dock near by. There is something wrong with a neighborhood that lets that happen.

They don't want to go up against a mob of hundreds, perhaps?

Discretion is the better part of valor. Long distance swagger is the easy part.

And be prosecuted by a Soros-bought DA for doing what will be necessary to do in order to come out of such a mob alive.

The system is rigged against the individual. For the time being anyway.

Soy based blood don't clot.  Stab em and slab em.

I think the concern lies in the possibility they might stab/slab you back?

Not in the least.  Find the one who looks like the leader and take him out 1st.

Pinellas County is a collection of quiet towns ... mostly conservative, but St. Pete is deep blue.  The local government would persecute anyone who fought back.

That's bullcrap. How many Latin Kings were needed to turn the mob away from Latino neighborhoods?

All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.
