Austin Noodle House Owner in Hot Water Over Racially Charged Comments About Sandy Hook Shooting
The owner of a Thai Noodle House in Austin has been on the receiving end of significant backlash since posting a Facebook status update expressing a lack of concern for the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting.
"I don't care if a bunch of white kids got killed," the Thailand-born Eddie Nimibutr wrote in the update he posted on Friday, shortly after the incident took place. "Fuck Post-Racial bullshit. When kids from minority groups get shot, nobody cares. When Israel launched missiles at the school on Gaza, everybody was too busy jerking off. Why should i care about people who dont give a damn about me?"
Nimibutr claims the post inspired several people to call him "with threat of violence." He responded with a follow up post, attempting to clear up his earlier comments.
"I have stated throughout the years in my beliefs with millions in cut to mental health programs, school programs, after school programs," Nimibutr wrote.
I hope the moron realizes that Israel firing on Gaza was an act of war, and civilians do get killed in acts of war. It wasn't some mentally deranged kid, who should have never had access to arms, shooting indiscriminately.
