Donald Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric, and his hate-filled rhetoric in general, have nearly caused another shooting massacre. The incident involving a gun hit a McDonald’s restaurant near Minneapolis, Minnesota. It began when an adult man and a teenage boy got into a disagreement.
The tweets captured it all:
‘@McDonalds is this what you stand for? We were just trying to order when this man said racist remarks, claimed to be touched (when really he pushed a kid as seen on video) pulled a gun out on kids and you still kick us out knowing we’re in danger? 1
‘After yelling you also add “if he pulled out a gun it’s for a reason”. There should be no reason that a man pulled out a gun on children just trying to order their food.
‘This is the man that pulled the gun tonight. Detective Twitter do your thing ???p‘

Then, one of them shouted:
‘He has a gun!’
The gunman walked out the door. At that point, a McDonald’s employee ordered the teens to leave. Unfortunately, that would be sending them right into danger. A bystander intervened saying:
‘Don’t send them out there when the dude just pulled a fucking gun on them. You better call the fucking cops, is what you gotta do.’
One of the Muslim girls said her friend was trying to buy a dessert when the guy began making racist comments:
‘Jihan heard the man say, ’You’re probably using EBT. And she immediately turned to him and said, “Just because I’m black, doesn’t mean I use EBT.”‘
EBT is a welfare benefits system debit card.
