Skyblue1 got arrested

[Bastet]

I failed to post this too:

Google reviews for Thomas’ shop accuse him of discriminating against customers and showing off his gun on the job.

“No one with any sense should get their hair cut here,” one review from last week said, saying the barber is “easily threatened, and thinks nothing of brandishing a gun.”

“Worst experience!!” said another review, posted one year ago.

“The owner is extremely discriminating towards disabled people. My uncle has disabilities and went in for a hair cut. Immediately, the shop owner refused to cut his hair. He stated that my uncle was to go somewhere else, because he would not be cutting his f---ing hair.”

pulling heat to make sure he didn't have to soil his person handling that repulsive nappy hair that wogs often sprout from their bonce. Can't get contaminated touching the stuff if the head in question gets suddenly spray-squirted over the back wall in greyish-yellow-tinged pink mist form courtesy of a couple of slugs between those beady, scheming, avaricious, misogynistic; nasty little eyes.

The only thing the guy did wrong in pulling his gat, was  failing to pull the fucking trigger and rid the world of another nasty little paras(h)ite.

I wish you many long years choking in a vat of curly black barber's leavings with its tendrils creeping into every orifice of your body.

have never discriminated against the disabled. I would not have been in the business for 51 years if I was that bad a person

I picked up the gun as a self defense against someone who was very angry and in my face

the weapon was never pointed at the customer

I have the right to defend my self

by the way in all 8 previous incidents I was the one who called the police

Sure, maybe, whatever.

I trust your account of things about as much as the journalist's account

Probably best to not comment on legal matters until they're over.

Maybe you need a tactful sign posted on the wall that your establishment does not employ those with the skill to cut African American hair.

You're more eloquent than I am.

How often do you feel threathened enough to show your gun to a customer? Barbershop is the place where a customer makes him or herself vulnerable, sitting in a lower position while the barber is in a higher standing position, wielding a knife or a pair of sharp scissors.

And what I learn at work is that de-escalating behaviour works better than showing how dangerous and tough you are.

And why don't you shave black hair? Curious about that. I can understand the not cutting, but not the not shaving. Is it still about the hair then, or about the person having that hair?

Makes sense.

Most fun cutting hair I ever did was on a woman with two hairtypes. She was double pelted. Courser straight hair, and softer Merino wool like hair. Was almost like sculpting. Awesome. Did do her hair for a few years.

Wolfish has mixed hair - some hairs are straight and others curly. He cuts his own with hair clippers because in many places he has lived they don't cut that kind of hair. Haircuts are also expensive. The clippers cost $5 on clearance 8 years ago.
It's easy because he just uses the attachment for length. Short hair requires a lot less maintenance and is infinitely ruffle-able.

You're a true Wolf, being double pelted.

Yeah.  And if skyblue has a lawyer who has any sense he or she will say the same thing.  Anything skyblue posts on here could get found and used in court (if either side cares enough to do that kind of digging, anyway).
