Jim Treacher<\/a> found the twists and turns in this NYC local story to be disturbing his sleep:<\/p>\n

An odd little news story got stuck in my brain over the weekend, so I tried to figure out why. Last week, three Texas women attacked a hostess at a restaurant in New York City because the hostess asked them for proof that they’re vaccinated:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seems like an overreaction, no? It’s not like a restaurant hostess is responsible for state and local laws. She was just doing her job.<\/p>\n

In the initial NPR story<\/a> I read, the women were described only as being “from Texas”. Which immediately tells a certain audience, NPR’s audience, everything they need to hear. Everyone knows what those Texans<\/em> are like, right? Yeeeeeee-haw! Them inbred redneck anti-vax science-denyin’ hayseeds prob’ly voted for Trump, didn’t they? Yer darn tootin’!<\/p>\n

It just goes to show how evil those dirty Republicans really are. They’d rather beat up a woman in public than surrender a little bit of their freedom for the greater good. I’ll bet they weren’t even wearing masks. Tsk, tsk, tsk. And another tsk for good measure!<\/p>\n

But when you read past the headline<\/a>, you learn a bit more about these three lovely ladies:<\/p>\n
