    About damned time....

    https://www.foxnews.com/us/vans-emp...elling-14-year-old-customer-in-maga-hat-f-you

    "My son walked into this store. That gentleman [appearing to point at the employee] cursed and told him, 'Take off your hat,'" the woman told another Vans employee. "He said nothing to him, 14-year-old child, then he said, 'F you' to my son. My son said nothing to him, did nothing."

    Vans, in a statement to Fox News, confirmed that the employee involved in the interaction "is no longer with the company," and added the company's "primary focus is to provide the best customer service experience."

    Never heard of Van's but if that's how their clerks dress they don't have to worry about me ever coming in.

    Perhaps they offer them in black...with velcro. Might even have to polish them.

    Seriously though, as conservative as I am, I see an definite streak of patriotism in some of the undercurrents of society. Kudos on them for taking a stand on what's right, even if they are different from what i would call the societal norm. Don't really care what you look like, I care more about what you stand for; speaks far louder than any virtue signalling cries of injustice.
     
    I live in Kansas and that’s embarrassing. Whoop his ass and send him to Colorado where the dumb liberal fuck stick belongs. He belongs with his own kind like Colorado’s governor, chickenfucker or what ever his name is.

    I was just fixing to comment on that. Sad part is the dad would get in more trouble than the employees.. then the media would show it accross the nation.. then overnight they will start talking about the ar he had in his vehicle..

    Vans is still a thing? I remember those shitty cheap skater shoes from back as a kid! Personally I'm considering buying a MAGA cap and an "Impeach 45" shirt just to confuse people.

    It will be interesting to see if the asshole gets hooked up just out of the blue, at a later date. I know that happens around here every so often.

    Cop ----- Have you pissed of or done anything to anyone in the last few days
    asshole----will there was this one guy

    I can still remember some hardware stores selling them, too.

    I still have a hardon for the browning semi 22 that loads through the stock and ejects out the bottom. Molested that thing at the ace many times. Now that I can buy one, finding one online and buying like that doesn't seem right. On the rare occurrence that I go in a gun shop, I'll ask to see the stock fed, under cocking 22, if they have one. Any young guys working the counter seem to wonder why I asked to see 'that one'. Older guys seem to know they would have sold a rifle if they had 'that one'. So far they've all been chicom knockoffs and I handed them right back. One day I'll happen along one and it'll be mine. It was a bid deal in my childhood and I suppose it shouldn't be easy.

    Edit: I said ace, but it was western auto. Round, wooden gun rack,

    Being left eye dominant, I am a big fan of those and the norinco clones.. (I’m also a sucker for anything takedown) between those and the ar7 I used to plink anywhere.

    It’s a sweet little rifle and worth having one. It’s a favorite of mine.

    Showing my age but I bought 80% sticks an #3 caps at hardware stores at 12 years old. We used a 1/3 stick as a booster for want is now called ANFO. For huge rocks/stumps and re-channeling the ditch. circa late 1959

    4th of July was always a hoot as Dad an Kin would experiment as well. Sad many generations never got to be able to get that level of hands on, as now most can only read about stuff like that.

    It’s ok it has a good home!
     
    Finally a product I can keep wearing. With all the companies being communist cocksuckers I was starting to contemplate full time nudism. No one wants that. Nice to know I can still wear my sneaker of choice.
     
    Had that fine young sales associate spoken those words to my son, me, or anyone else in my family I can promise you he would've had to find some decent footing as I'd be right up in his face just waiting for him to back up his words. I dont take shit from douchbags like this and their mouth quickly catches up to their brain when the consequences of their speach is brought to the forefront.

    I'm not buying at all that Van's supported the kid wearing a MAGA hat. All they did was fire a guy who told a kid "Fuck you!". That's simply covering their own ass.

    Oh, of no doubt do I think they supported the kid and MAGA hat. But, what I applaud is them doing what I expect of any business; keep politics out of business and respect every customer that comes in, regardless of political persuasion. Businesses can think and do what they want, but professional courtesy is what should be the standard, and expected of all of them (and their employees).
