[NYPOST] Black Lives Matter protesters were caught on camera harassing diners outside a family-owned Brooklyn taqueria — with dozens screaming at them to "stay the f—k outta New York.""We don’t want you here," screamed a ringleader standing on a table as he led an angry call-and-response chant from his comrades who framed the outdoor dining area of Maya Taqueria in Prospect Heights."We don’t want your f—ing money! We don’t want your f—ing taqueria, owned by f—ing white men!" he screamed, with the mob repeating each line, as caught in video by The Post.
The owner is listed as Daniel Nassar,
| ...a good Arab name. Somebody tell Rashida Tlaib that she’s white... |
In a recent video interview with ChowNow, Nassar explained how all of his staff relied on the restaurant, an 11-year "neighborhood staple," to survive during the pandemic.
"There’s employees that need their paychecks on a weekly basis to support their families," he said.
Locals and supporters of the restaurant quickly came to its defense online.
"I can assure you the people who own family-owned Maya Taqueria want them there, and their food is delicious," Brooklyn Events tweeted.
Another previous diner noted that the restaurant is "good as hell, inexpensive and really not the problem."
Meanwhile,
...back at the barn, Bossy had come up with a new idea, one that didn't involve kerosene...
the protesters seemed confused over whether they wanted the restaurant and staff to close down — or get more cash.
After first screaming "we don’t want your f—ing taqueria," a woman in the group then shouts "tip 30 percent!" — with the rest of the crowd seeming to miss the irony by marching away down Vanderbilt Ave. chanting, "Tip 30 percent!"
