Does it matter if it's on company time? The CEO that was a jackass to the drive thru girl was on his lunch break and he got the boot. -

I hope they fine the fuck out of this asshole and make him hold a sign saying "I'm a hateful bigot cocksucker."
In Southern California, a Hollywood artist has taken responsibility for the image painted on a Torrance Chick-fil-A on Hawthorne Boulevard near the Redondo Beach border.
Manny Castro told the Huffington Post in an exclusive interview that he spray-painted "Tastes like hate" and a picture of a cow on the side of the eatery at 18200 Hawthorne Blvd. early Friday morning because of remarks Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy made in July against same-sex marriage.
"I'm against what these people stand for, what this company stands for," Castro, who is gay, told the Huffington Post. "They're trying to take away what little rights we already have."
-- Did you notice any unusual activity at a Chick-fil-A restaurant this week? Tell us in the comments below.
The black painted words—which play off the fast-food chain’s advertising campaign depicting cows encouraging consumers to eat more chicken by patronizing Chick-fil-A—were discovered Friday morning, and as of 9 a.m., police did not have a suspect, Torrance police Lt. Martin Vukotic told City News Service. A can of black spray paint was discovered near the wall.
Torrance police Sgt. Jennifer Uyeda said that the department had not heard about Castro’s interview until Patch contacted them. She said police would look into it.
Earlier Friday, she told LA Weekly that police were first tipped off to the graffiti by Fox 11 News, which had heard about the message from an anonymous caller.
Torrance police will be monitoring all the Chick-fil-A restaurants in the city throughout Friday, Vukotic told City News Service.
“We have extra patrol for all three of our locations in our city,” he said.
As Torrance police investigated the scene Friday, patrons showing up for breakfast snapped photos with their cell phones of the graffiti.
"I hate when politics get involved," said one man as he took a picture. "Those people are the ones filled with hate," he said, pointing to the graffiti on the wall.
In his comments to the Huffington Post, Castro seemed to disagree.
"It's paint on a wall," he said. "It got removed in less than an hour. It's not that much of a crime—it's a protest."
The Chick-fil-A CEO’s anti-gay-marriage comments last month sparked protests from gay-rights groups, as well as support from loyal restaurant customers and people against same-sex marriage, who showed up for a national “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” on Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Daily Breeze photos of another Torrance location showed a line to the restaurant stretching down the block.
A counter-protest dubbed "National Same-Sex Kiss Day" was planned for Friday night at Chick-fil-A restaurants across the country. According to the organizer's Facebook page, the protest encourages same-sex couples to kiss at Chick-fil-A at 8 p.m. Friday.I wear a Fez. Fez-es are coolComment

Even the nation-wide press has come out and said what a failure this "kiss-in" deal was. It's pretty typical that liberal organizations can't organize shit when it comes down to it. We didn't see any sign of "kissers" in either of the CF's out here.Comment

What I don't understand is most gays are atheists, or at least do not believe in Jesus Christ or God, so why should they care if some random person says what they're doing is wrong to what they consider is a fictional being? Only answer I can come up with is it's something else to bitch about.Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostComment

I'm not totally buying into that. A lot of gays are Episcopalian, which not only permits homosexuality, but allows for gay priest.Originally posted by SS Junk View Post
My Mom is gay, so by default I know a lot of people that are gay. Quite a few of them believe in God and Christ. However they basically ignore anything in the Bible against homosexuality. Personally, I believe this is misguided, but instead of pushing them away I try to have civil discussions with them. I still believe the homosexual life style is a sin, but I also know Christ demands of us to love each other. He didn't qualify that demand either.
I've been divided on this Chick-Fil-A thing because I think the actions of many Christians have been pushing gays even further away from Christ. That is the exact opposite of what Jesus would want. Jesus didn't separate himself from sinners. He met with them, he ate with them, he nurtured each and every one of them to bring them away from sin and into the light of God's love. I think this is one reason he never specifically condemned homosexuality but instead defined what a Godly relationship is.Comment

Presbyterians are also liberal enough to accept the GLBT views.Comment

"the paint wasn't much of a crime it was removed it was a protest". What the hell so now vandalize private property isnt a crime what a load of crap. The next time I feel the cops do something their not I can run their cars over with a tractor as a protest. :-)Comment
