Went to the big city for a VA appointment & on the way home stopped in at a small Colorado BBQ chain joint that’s not bad
Was a Hispanic couple with 5 kids in front of us, 4 mondelo beers and water for kids…..he went outside & came back with a 2 liter bottle of Dr Pepper
Kids were running around out of control screaming and yelling & one came up to our table (5-6 years old) and tried taking some pickles
So I nicely ask if they could please control the kids so he would not try taking my food
Guy jumped up, said I was disrespecting them and called me several names in Spanish while bouncing back and forth between English and Spanish
Without thinking I told him it was a good day to die…..and if he felt froggy to jump
His body language was not good & he was jumping around cussing me out
Just then the 2 cops who were standing outside talking came in & he sort of settled down & one cop said something to him in Spanish & the guy flicked me the bird and ent back to eating
I looked at the cops & the one said “you retired from the job” with a smile so we talked and he was prior service Marine
They were watching from outside & my body language & hand in my pocket clued them in so that’s when they came in…and they knew I was armed……
I need to not antagonize people……
Seems Hispanics in Colorado are more aggressive and hot tempered as they get away with so much due to the politics in the area. Never ran across this in Texas or anywhere else in our travels
Was an interesting day…..
