Another alt-right white supremacist marcher photographed in Charlottesville, VA over the weekend has learned why his 19th and 20th century forebears wore hoods to their rallies.
According to the East Bay Times, Cole White of Berkeley, CA has lost his job at Top Dog a chain of hot dog restaurants.
Effective Saturday 12th August, Cole White no longer works at Top Dog, said an email statement from the restaurant chain. The actions of those in Charlottesville are not supported by Top Dog. We believe in individual freedom and voluntary association for everyone.

On Saturday, Twitter user @YesYoureRacist began to circulate photos of the tiki-torch-carrying mob of white supremacist who marched on Friday night, as well as photos from the Unite the Right march, which quickly devolved into a violent melee in which a 20-year-old white supremacist rammed his car into a crowd of anti-fascist marchers, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injuring at least 19 others.

(844 posts)Got what he deserves. I looked this place up on yelp and it looks pretty good , if you like hot dogs.
I kinda wonder about it now though - one of the pictures on yelp showed a board that said politicians not welcome - which makes me think they might be sympethetic to extremists and imagine they are trolling.

(49,212 posts)Still it's worth finding out who paid for these idiots to go cause mayhem, because essentially none of these losers are going to be worth suing and the victims need their medical expenses, lost wages, etc paid.

Does he live in a tent? The rents in Berkeley are astonishing.
Does he live with mom and dad?
Hey mom, can I use your credit card to buy some airline tickets?

(36,110 posts)That place is...weird. Plus it's not the first time the piece of shit was involved in white supremacy violence. Hard to imagine they were surprised by his involvement in Charlottesville. My guess is they've been inundated by so many calls, they gotta look at their bottom line.
Some scholars affiliated with the Ludwig von Mises Institute are pro-Confederacy, according to the New York Times.
The company put up a blog post on Sunday about its views on what happened in Charlottesville.
