when I tell y& #39;all that @emelineohara and I fought Jacob Frey when he walked past us during the middle of our dinner...he told us to speak respectfully and I went, "sir, this is as respectful as you deserved to be spoken to." right after I told him what he& #39;d said was bullshit lmao
did I record the entire conversation? yes. were we nice? absolutely not. but I wasn& #39;t raised by minnesotans. I don& #39;t believe in being nice.
we fought him on his response to our houseless neighbors and his police department and frankly, I would fight him again bc he& #39;s full of shit. for 15 minutes we made him stop and talk to us. our server came over and said "is this man bothering you?" and I said "yes, in many ways."
you know what, actually? we were very polite. we even introduced ourselves. after telling him my full name I said, "I& #39;m the owner of the ONLY Black owned bookstore in the state." and he was like "oh I know you, you& #39;re doing great work." I said "of course you do and yes, I know."
His response to @emelineohara telling him her experiences being houseless and also harassed by HIS police? "I hear you."
her: "it& #39;s fucked up."
him: "it *is* fucked up."
us: "okay AND??? WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?"
her: "it& #39;s fucked up."
him: "it *is* fucked up."
us: "okay AND??? WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?"
