BLM NYC Chapter Fears City Vaccine Mandate Will Be Used to ‘Put Us In Prison’ After 3 Black Women Face Assault Charges After Proof of Vaccination Request at NYC Restaurant Led to Physical Encounter
“They also heard the hostess say, ‘Yeah, you guys can leave my restaurant,’ or something very aggressive like that,” he continued, “When Dr. Rankin hears that, she turns around and addresses the hostess. She tells her: ‘This isn’t your restaurant. You’re just a staff member here. Please address us with respect.’”
Carolyn Richmond, an lawyer for the restaurant, denied race had anything to do with the incident. “The idea that anyone would become violent as an employee performs this necessary function is anathema to New York, the hospitality industry and New Yorkers in general,” she said. “As all of the women showed proof of vaccination they were all permitted to enter and were in fact seated inside.”
The hostess is now at home resting after the attack. Meanwhile the three women were arrested and charged with assault and criminal mischief.
