    Dear @WaffleHouse, Listen to me. I wanna be clear on something. I'm done with your corporation. Permanently. I'm asking my followers to just be done with you too. You need to go out of your way to address the brutality people are experiencing in your establishment.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/994594065919324160 …

    That is Anthony Wall, in prom clothes, being lifted off the ground and choked by a Warsaw County police officer @WaffleHouse. He had just taken his little sister to prom. And yet again @WaffleHouse called the cops. Anthony, of course was unarmed & non-violent. This is assault. pic.twitter.com/lLupZbfMcW

        I've been done ever since I seen the #ChikesiaClemons video and their response to the incident. You have Denny's, IHOP, Huddle House, and so many other restaurants. Let the racist people have the Waffle House.

        Safety is important. When I start seeing my people getting beaten or humiliated that's enough for me. As long as I live I'm ok with staying out of any Waffle House or Starbucks.

        The food is "meh" and the last time I entered one, it smelled like a mix of animal hospital disinfectant, BO and weird cooking odors (I immediately left). I have no idea why anyone would go there beyond college when lack of funds makes almost any sustenance acceptable.

        It's a chain that is mainly in the south and midwest. It muscled out local all-night diners. Mostly truckers, travelers and college-age kids after a night of partying.

        I will go way out of my way for a good diner. A good French dip, good chili, and especially a good patty melt. Chain restaurants should be outlawed, anyway.

        People of color should never don their door again. This type of assault is unnecessary and they don’t deserve a dollar from anyone in our community. Never from me for sure.
