Men with sausages attack vegan restaurant
Rowdies throw meat into veggie dishes at Tbilisi counterculture spo
Thugs wearing sausage necklaces and brandishing kebabs stormed a vegan cafe in the historic old city of Tblisi and threw grilled meat into diners' vegetarian dinners.
The men reportedly more than a dozen far-right extremists began brawling with the patrons and staff of the Kiwi Cafe, according to Radio Liberty's account of Sunday's incident in the Georgian capital. The melee spilled onto the street where neighbors joined the fray, some on the side of the vegans and others reinforcing the carnivores.
In a Facebook page statement, the Kiwi Cafe described the attackers as "neo-Nazis" and said "they pulled out some grilled meat, sausages, and fish and started eating them and throwing them at us, and finally they started to smoke.... They were just trying to provoke our friends and disrespect us."
Police finally arrived, but no arrests were made. The meat men had already fled.

(44,397 posts)The cafe statement blames Sunday's incident on the group of men who came into the premises, talking loudly, throwing meat and smoking, and then "yelling, laughing, and talking to us sarcastically".
These people "were neo-Nazis... who support fascist ideas", the cafe said.
Some minor injuries were sustained.
The police arrived only after the attackers had left, but the cafe said even some of those officers behaved aggressively, "yelled with anger, said that we are guilty of what had happened".

(53,339 posts)But I can't take credit for such a very old pun. Many of the ones I use were coined well before I was born. Now your door buzzard, that was original.

(64,852 posts)I know it was a prank, but there is no point to this. It's just being mean to be mean.
Some funny posts on this thread though.

(64,852 posts)But, then i wouldn't go throw meat into your veggie dish, because it would be silly waste of my time, your time, and your food.
That's why i was saying this is just stupid. It serves no purpose other than as a juvenile and malicious prank.
But, at least we both see the value in the humor some of the posters have put forth!
pinboy3niner
(53,339 posts)But, with respect, I try to make sure my humor is well-seasoned.

(13,340 posts)But I have no issue with other people eating as they will for pretty much any reason. I know vegetarians who eat that way for health reasons, and those who eat that way for ethical reasons. Fine by me, so long as they don't harangue me for eating a juicy steak.
