AUSTIN RESTAURANT CLOSES AMID FUROR OVER OWNER’S OUTRAGEOUS COMMENTS ABOUT SANDY HOOK VICTIMS

Just hours after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on Friday, Austin business owner Eddie Nimibutr wrote on his personal Facebook page that he didn’t “care if a bunch of white kids got killed.”

The resulting backlash was both swift and severe. On Monday, Nimibutr’s restaurant, Thai Noodle House, was forced to close its doors and turn off its lights, KEYE-TV reported. Only time will tell if the close is permanent, but the owner said the restaurant will stay closed for the time being for fear retaliation against him and his employees.

After initially refusing to apologize and telling those who disagreed with him they didn’t have to eat at his restaurant, Nimibutr provided an apology of sorts to KEYE-TV, but he did not completely take back his statement.

Forget the boycott.. We need to get all the foreigners out of our country and don't let them in. The only thing they like about the US is our money. Stop sending money to this countries that hate us so much and stop letting this be a melting pot!!!!
