Crybully Triggered by Confederate Flag Pretends to Be Terrorized

The campaign to eradicate all reminders of the South as a cultural and historical entity continues. Portland social justice warrior Heather Franklin does her part with possibly the lamest hoax yet. Here’s how the local media reports it:

A Portland liquidation store has removed Confederate flag rugs and hopes to apologize to a woman who filmed employees of the store intimidating her after she asked about the rugs.

On Wednesday morning, according to Heather Franklin, 33, she … was shocked when she noticed a Confederate flag rug on display.

Even more surprising was the reaction of several store employees when she asked them about the rugs. Franklin said Wednesday over the phone that she began filming the store’s employees after they dismissed her concerns about the rug.

The big surprise was that rather than let the bully tell them what they could sell in their store, they treated her rudely — which she had gone out of her way to deserve.

In a second video, the two men and Franklin yell at each other across the parking lot. Franklin said the men were approaching her in the parking lot.

“I felt like they were going to come and physically hurt me,” Franklin said later.

In the video, Franklin becomes visibly distressed and the two men mock her for crying.

Now see what actually happened. Presenting the moonbat’s own video (sorry about the language):

The reason moonbattery is so far out of control is that we now cater to the demands and delusions of freaks like Heather Franklin instead of pumping them full of Thorazine and locking them in rubber rooms.

PJ Media lists a few lessons hate hoaxers can learn from this farce:

1. Do not angrily confront anyone with children in tow
2. Don’t lie about things that are verifiably untrue
3. If you can’t muster real tears, don’t bother

Heather’s display was phony and contemptible, yet it worked. Both the media and the CEO of Everyday Deals predictably took her side. The employees involved are on indefinite leave. People who want Confederate flag rugs will no longer be able to buy them at this store. By these tiny turns of the ratchet, a culture is erased.
