Bay Area perhaps I’ve grown to accustomed to the intolerance of the progressive-left where its not uncommon to hear people flippantly imply that anyone who thinks differently from the “progressive ideology” should be eliminated. I have absolutely no doubt, that if given half a chance, at least 20% to 30% of the people in this area would instantly turn into Brownshirts and march a good percentage of the rest of the population off to re-education camps or worse. This story doesn’t surprise me one bit, except for the fact that someone finds it surprising.

However, with that said, I again think this is more about human nature and not very unique to our current political climate. Not to long ago, death threats were leveled against minorities and others who opposed racial segregation. We got through that ugly period in our history and hopefully we’ll get through this as well.

I consider this story to be good evidence of the coming dark age and the end of tolerance and freedom in America. Nothing here justifies death threats. Nothing.

If people are annoyed they can simply find another restaurant. Or they can show their tolerance and continue to buy the product, since nothing these owners were doing was changing the product they sold in their restaurants. But death threats? Please. This is the behavior of jackbooted thugs who think it appropriate to pound their heels into anyone who defies them.

I’m not excusing the death threats, but rather explaining human nature which is the same regardless whether one eats animal products or not. People are pissed when they feel they have be deceived.
