A Long Island, New York, restaurant owner faces backlash after he recorded himself in a Facebook video calling people who were peacefully protesting the death of George Floyd 'animals' and 'savages' and saying he would throw watermelons at them.

"THIS WAS A PEACEFUL PROTEST AND IT STILL WAS A PROBLEM TO SOME PEOPLE...," she wrote in the post Monday that has been widely shared."DO YOU SEE WHY PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE FED UP NOW?"

She said that people she grew up with were among the racially diverse group of protesters exercising"their right to protest and being peaceful" at Monday's demonstration.

Maybe he should change the name of his restaurant to CAMICIE MARRONI pizza...BROWN SHIrTS Pizza. How soon descendants of immigrants forget what AMERICA is about!

I’ve eaten there. It was awful.

Used to live in a town near there, very racist republican area. Got out!!! 😘

Throw cut watermelon plz I would’ve taken some tajin🤣🤣🤣 on a serious note he’s from an immigrant family and knows the struggle we immigrants face. To be prepared to be violent against a calm group of protesters is totally unexceptable.

Damn, they're still a fringe of white folks out there that just don't fucking get it.

This is the perfect story for President Bone Spurs' Trumpjugende to piss and moan about. 😷🍷🖕

Yeah, the rioting really undermined the message and memory of George Floyd. If you've never read MLK's writings, he advised strongly against violence.

I wish you would report these stories too. They are equally deserving of your attention.

Disgusting

Guess he wanted to go out of business

LeslieMarshall No not in Long Island. No not the north. That can’t be true..............

4000 Black on Black shootings in Chicago under Obama-Biden and nobody cared

Don’t forget to throw some fried chicken 🤣

JoshMankiewicz More like Kaputto Pazzo

'Do the Right Thing' all over again.....

The owner after he sees all 500 of his sudden bad reviews. He deserves this, glad they’re exposing themselves now. This ain’t the 50s and racist news travels fast!

Without even looking, I knew he would be Italian (I can say that as I am half Italian)

sounds like a great dude! I'll come eat there soon :)

JoshMankiewicz Ah consequences

Restaurants are a dime dozen. Good fucking Luck

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

People in Buffalo, NY tend to throw around the word thug and animal after all this and think that a protester of injustice is just a rioter criminal. People lost their minds when Colin took a knee here.
