Rickey Lee Bugg, Jr. and friend Jack Gunkel were eating their food at Just Wing It a restaurant in Annville, Pennsylvania, when the founder, Chris Behney, told them to leave the restaurant, they serve whites only.
“I don’t need you ‘n-words’ money, Donald Trump is President” Behney said according to Bugg’s statement. He was completely caught off guard by the exchange. “We weren’t being loud, we were just sitting there, watching TV,” the manager yelled out to Gunkel and Bugg.
Of course words were exchanged and Bugg asked for his money back. The waitress agreed to refund him his money. According to Bugg, the restaurant owner then came out of the bar area and confronted them.
“I flipped a few chairs, that’s not the way to treat people,” Bugg said. He added that Behney told him that since Donald Trump is president now, “I can say what I want.”
The investigation is ongoing, but no motive beyond racism has been identified as the reason for the altercation. Bugg filed reports with Annville Police Department as well as with LVC stating that he had eaten at the restaurant several times prior without incident.
Bugg’s has questioned police findings that conclude no evidence of any wrongdoing on restaurant’s part even though there were eyewitnesses to the incident. He has hired an attorney and promises to sue for denying his son service on the basis of race.
Report has it that a lot of people in the community have come out to support his family on this. Even the students are calling boycotts and an apology from the manager of the restaurant who cited Trump being a president as a reason to be racist “This is morally wrong and should be frown on…” one the student said.
trump’s not going to help you JACKASS if your business is SUED and forced to close! He doesn’t GIVE a frig about you! Even if you apologize, it’s not enough! UNGRATEFUL PRIG!
Then I’ll have one fresh evilvangelical, medium well.
Please.
I hope his “Restaurant fold s real soon!
I believe he assisted them. Those are fighting words! Hope they sue his ass off!
This is becoming more and more the norm in this country, thanks to 45s stamp of approval. I was driving to pick my son up from band practice and had the radio on and they were talking about a volunteer firefighter here in Ohio who posted a facebook comment that he would save a dog from a burning building over a million Ni…..rs anyday. He was suspended but not released from the fire department.
This is the Great America that maniac promised. Congrats idiots! You git what you ask for.
That is exactly the problem and IS illegal. The people who voted for him, want to go back in time, to the 20s and 30s, even though most of them didn’t live at that time. Its “daddy’s” way, and if good enough for him, its good enuff for them. They are ignorant and would have the rest of us be too.
Hire a clown, expect a circus.
It is prob almost in Chap11 now and he is trying to make it look like black are to blame for his failures! So if his suppliers decide to not allow him to order supplies to run his biz and it has to shut down who will he sue? He will not like that same meds i think….lol!
What a racist, inhumane, heartless PIG!! I hope your business fails totally, & you file for bankruptcy but be denied federal help & end up on the street. I feel sorry for your family to be stuck with such a prick.
I said Trump “has given a voice to the shy racist” when he was campaigning. The “shy racists” are screaming loud now.
I would love to know the name of the restaurant.
it’s in the article. Why don’t you read it before you comment? It’s called Just Wing It and it’s in Annville, PA.
Why didn’t you just point out the name of the restaurant instead of being a dick! Brave internet asshole shouting down a woman.
Good point!
Just Wing It.
“Just Wing it.”
Say goodbye to your business you piece of garbage.
This is the kind of thing where the entire community should step and bring racism to an end once and for all. They should sue, boycott, and demonstrate in from of that restaurant until they put him out of business. And they should also make it clear that the owner said the Donald Trump gave him carte blanche to be a bigot. And where is the NAACP!!! If we’re smart we can turn ignorance like this into a blessing in disguise – we can bankrupt the bigot owner, and go after Trump. As Black people we’ve go to make thinking a way of life, not just a hobby.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended segregation in public places, banned employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. You sir, are in violation of said law and will be held liable for your actions.
No wonder why we can’t have a civil country. The owner should be run out of business and be shamed to the point he just slithers away like the snake he is.
These are the true feelings of Trump’s Hateful and bigoted Racists ! Sad, truly sad. 🙁
He has a business anyone that disagrees with him need to never cross his door again. The almighty dollar works on the little guy also. Don’t waste time or money on a lawyer just tell your friends and they can tell theirs and on and on it goes. You still have your money in your pocket and you don’t let this little man take up anymore of your time or energy. Karma is a b….!
Nope. Suit him and let the law and the market take care of his butt. He has committed a civil wrong and deserves to play a civil penalty, not just a market penalty.
I don’t think it should be that simple. Without a lawsuit it’s just anecdotal and you can’t prove anything. Most states, and municipalities have laws again’st this, and if the city doesn’t do their part that means they share this restaurant owners views. I’m going to assume you live in a fair sized city where there is plenty of choice, but if you let people like this restaurant owner get away with it, more, and more bigots will get a notion to do it too. Yes there should be a boycott too, but I feel there needs to be documentation, and a lawsuit will provide that.
Its a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. NO ONE can discriminate on the basis of race. At the very least, this DUMBASS business owner opened himself to a lawsuit……BUT, in some states, the state will take legal actions as well. When you ENTER into business, apply for a business license, you CONTRACT with the local authorities that you will ABIDE BY all business rules and regulations governing public accommodations. This is not “Burger King” where you can have it your way.
Yep, exactly. 1964. I have a feeling, though, the owner will claim he never said it and the customer was just trashing the place for no reason. This is not the owner’s personal club…it’s a public restaurant. Why would you not want the business from everyone?
Hate crime, pure and simple.
I wish this article was written better. I would share it if it was. This restaurant owner needs to be knocked back to the 1950’s.
Leave his restaurant a bad review
Here is where you can leave it: https://www.yelp.ca/biz/just-wing-it-annville-2
good tactic thanks
Just because your [fake]president is a racist jackass, doesn’t mean you should be. I’m hoping the business fails. You know, free-market capitalism…
What year is this, again?
Post reviews on Yelp, Google, Trip Advisor and so on. F him. He doesn’t deserve your money. Hope he goes as financially bankrupt as he is morally! and SOON!
He Has Mice And Roaches Infested In His Restaurant, Why Would Any Body Want To Eat There????
You don’t need Trump to say what you want. The First Amendment allows you to do that. What you must understand, however, is that while you can say what you want, you are not protected from the fallout. If you are run out of business because you have now revealed yourself to be a vile pig, you must deal with the consequences. And if you do business with this man, you clearly send a message to everyone else that you, too, are a vile pig of a person.
It is against the law to deny public accommodations: restaurants, gas stations, stores, hotels, taxis, airplanes, etc. Actually saying “I do not want to serve Blacks” is OK legally, not serving Blacks is illegal.
Folks Jesus does not say that……………Only Jesus can take us to heaven…..Focus on salvation……..Don’t let the devil control you like this……….Romans 10:……………… 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?[c] And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
Drivel, rubbish, nonsense, garbage. Stuff it!
Sadly, Jesus’ words do nothing to cancel out the horrible racism that Trump has brought out of the woodwork in the people who follow his lack of principles and morals. Those crazy people have even said they think God ‘sent’ the Dumpster to ‘save’ the U.S.A. His corruptness has reached so far and wide, that it’s only a miracle from God that could ‘fix’ this horrible racist, misogyenistic mess.
you are so right it is so sad.. We can do nothing to change our stature , we cant make our selves young and we cant control how we are going to die and we surely cant control whether we are born black or white or any color or nationality and it is a crying shame for someone to be a racist all because of skin color..God made us who we are not we ourselves and if the human race could just learn to love and understand each other with no prejudice this world would be a better place and it’s sad to know that a Man that should be loved and respected as our commander and chief of the united states is no more than a dumb , orangepig bigot and idiot that has a mental disorder and that is what a lot of people want and is following and it will only lead to more destruction.
And Sarah Huckabee Sanders things ESPN should fire Jemele Hill for calling Trump a “white supremist” when clearly that is what he is and what he inspires.
The entire United States is covered by the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination by privately owned places of public accommodation on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin. Places of “public accommodation” include hotels, restaurants, theaters, banks, health clubs and stores. Nonprofit organizations such as churches are generally exempt from the law.
Don’t respond to this POS’s attitude with words, respond with actions. BOYCOTT his crappy restaurant. If enough people refuse to support this piece of trash, then he gets what he deserves. Put him out of business! #boycottjustwingit!
Police find no evidence.. in spite of witnesses… uh huh… corrupt cops, supremecist president…where is this country headed?
smh it just sounds dumb because trump is my president and people swear black people would do dumb shit and then use oh Obama is my president as an excuse fuck him and his dirty establishment
WOA, STOP, HOLD ON… I ride in a motorcycle club. I have for over ten years. We are profiled, refused service, asked to leave on a weekly basis. Businesses may post a public statement “no colors allowed” or “prohibited”. That business has the RIGHT to serve or not serve whoever or whenever they want. It is their financial decision. How can you, how could you ever, force someone one to do business with you? Take out the triggering comments, take out the shock value, and just think. Can I FORCE you to sell me something? Can you FORCE me to buy something(provided you’re not the gov’t)?
Actually, they don’t. https://www.legalzoom.com/articles/the-right-to-refuse-service-can-a-business-refuse-service-to-someone-because-of-appearance
It’s been 57 years since the Greensboro sit-ins at the Woolworth’s counter. I’m sure another one could be arranged in Annville, PA.
It is illegal to discriminate based on race.
The “no colors allowed” refers to dress-wear – as in club colors.
Reason for that is if you come in wearing your club colors, and some club from down the road that you don’t like comes in wearing their club colors, there is likely to be food and glasses thrown around, tables and chairs broken, blood everywhere.
And then, as someone who has been riding for more than 50 years and not been in a club since I was 15 because too many punks think they’re tough because they ride bikes, I have to ask – when you guys go into places to eat or drink, do you cause trouble? Is that maybe why you get asked to leave?

so wrong.
Actually they’re not even remotely the same. People are judging you based upon their perceptions of your behavior and the image you project as a biker, not because of your race. You have the option to go into that business not flying your colors. You don’t have the option to enter not being a black person. This is long established civil rights law. There is not a question that one cannot be denied accommodations on the basis of race. It is ridiculous that you hope to suggest there is a correlation between race and your devotion to flying your colors.
Leo Paul Bauza , we are talking about not wanting to sell someone something because of the color of your skin it has nothing to do with behavior. If you did a bunch of fighting or somehtng against the law in someones restaurant yeah. and YOU are WRONG Businesses by Law can not put that on their sign it is against the LAW for you to discriminate because of the sex or race or religion or color of someone ‘s skin ..what world have you been living in if you don’t know that.
What a stupid, stupid take.
The reporters are dicks asking the same questions over and over
Motorcycle club folks aren’t protected by the 1964 Civil Rights Act. People of color ARE protected. So, yes, this was illegal. What happened to you and your friends sucks but is not technically illegal.
Why would blacks wantcti eat at a racist restaurant they could put anything in your food. I do not eat at nothing but black owned restaurant I would never eat none of they sloup they spit in people’s food play in their ass while fixing it blacks don’t be so dam stupid find a black owned place to eat where you know your food don’t have poop in it.
To play devils advocate…as a business owner you have a right to post on your property a sign which tells everyone that you reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for anu reason…was he wrong because he chose to use their race…yes…did he have a right to refuse service…yes…he is a private business owner…he should have chosen a multitude of different ways to do what he did, but this is what happens when hard working ppl are targeted for being white…we ate under attack daily for being white and when one pushes back omg…how very rude of them… there is about to be a lot more pushing back as we become more wary with all of the BS! I’m sick to death of the race card! The only truly oppressed ppl in this country today by no choice of their own is the NATIVE AMERICANS!
This man was wrong for acting like he did…that’s not the solution, but it’s a direct result of all we have been stomach in and we are all to the point of just not going to keep.being quiet…
So instead of printing this crap, keeping ppl pissed off with the wordings and the actions of a single person that does not reflect on the masses…yet…how about solutions..before the video becomes the norm and we have that Civil War #2…
It is illegal to discriminate based on race.
No way to know if this actually happened or not.
Their YELP page is at https://www.yelp.com/biz/just-wing-it-annville-2 by the way
Thanks for the link !
Every fair minded person should boycott this ‘restaurant’. You CANNOT treat people this way on the color of their skin alone……….I hope he goes bankrupt.
As a friend recently stated: “There is NO MENU at the Karma Kafe. You are served exactly what you deserve.”
WRONG, ASSHOLE! YOU ONLY SERVE WHITE RACISTS NOW!
Here is a more cogently written article: http://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/02/victim_of_racial_slur_incident.html
Leo, when he says “no colors allowed,” it means your club colors, which he mistakenly assumes are gang colors that are going to attract another gang. “No colored allowed” is not the same as “no colors allowed.”
This is a hate crime and should be treated as such!
bye bye little man as your restaurant loses business. The food in all likelihood sucked.
It is a restaurant today something else tomorrow. They are right to protest.
For the record. I know behney. Not a fan. I’ve always known him to be everything people are saying. That said, there are many false statements in this article. Notice what isn’t in quotes. He never said they only serve whites. Also, from the first hand accounts I’ve heard of, bugg was acting a fool and behney reacted. Not condoning what the prick said. Just saying the kid is a prick too. You can tell this author has an agenda.
Nothing comes of hate and so I choose to forgive.
Guess you’ll bring the weiners to that roast? He needs to be held ACCOUNTABLE…not FORGIVEN.
Idiot fails to understand that owning a business is a right but operating one is not …it is a privilege given to you not by your god not by the government or even the law. IT IS A privilege given to you by society itself . When you make statements such at this nuts does you stand to lose it all . We as a society will shut you down and take away your livelihood
Never let anyone who has declared you unworthy to feed you. Your money can be better spent elsewhere. It is a foolish businessman who does not want to accept green from Blacks.
In America and in the entire Universe everywhere equality and freedom means without question that all people are allowed to express whichever views they desire. That is equality and freedom.
More important than words are dollars. STOP!!! Don’t spend money when people don’t want your business. Tell other people about your experience but don’t try to force them to take your money.
Shouldn’t be in business if you want to look at a painting with no color.
The White Nationalist/Supremacists want to take us back to either the 1950s or the 1850s. In either case it might be possible for the city to revoke this racist’s business license. If not hopefully enough people will picket his place that it will drive people away and he still goes out of business.
Boycott boycott boycott. I hope his damned business goes under.
Boy i wish i was there i would of emptied the restaurant quick smart. Also wish i had my restaurant still cause i would of gave them a free lunch gawd i hate racists
As James Carville once said, there is Philly and there is Pittsburgh, all areas in between just as well be Alabama!
Burn that restaurant down…
Does he think raping a 15 year old and ripping off over 5k Americans is okay too now that the criminal who did it is in the White House?And what does this even mean? As if we did not have freedom of speech before the Devil was elected? What a moron. The dropping of the American Average IQ and status in the world.
Why wouldn’t you just ignore the ignorant…..making a big deal of it just fuels this stuff. This is one little restaurant owned by a bigot….who cares. A million other restaurants would welcome your business.
I didn’t even read this because as we know white people don’t know anything about chicken so I wouldn’t want to eat there anyways. Just another #culturevulture.
