Joey Vento Vindicated!

From NBC-10's website:

Ruling: Geno's Steaks English-Only Signs Not Discriminatory

PHILADELPHIA -- The owner of a famous cheesesteak shop did not discriminate when he posted signs telling customers "This is America: WHEN ORDERING 'PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH,"' a three-member city panel ruled Wednesday.

In a 2-1 vote, the Commission on Human Relations panel found that the two signs at Geno's Steaks do not violate the city's Fair Practices Ordinance. Shop owner Joe Vento posted them than two years ago because of concerns over immigration reform and the increasing number of people from the area who could not order in English.Vento said he has never refused service to anyone because they couldn't speak English, but critics argued that the signs discourage customers of certain backgrounds from eating at the shop. The panel issued its ruling three months after a December public hearing in which one critic called the signs a reminder of the Jim Crow era. (Read the entire story here)

DUH!

Joey Vento had to endure the scrutiny of a bunch of morons. They wasted the taxpayers of Philadelphia's money and resources to prove what we already knew...that Joey had a right to conduct his business without intervention from the local government. They (the panel) are stupid if they think Vento would say "I'm not serving you, speak English, or go across the street and give your $6.50 to Pat's". Well, Philly, that's what you get when you vote in liberal public officials...stupidity like this.

Now, go to Geno's and get a cheesesteak...we (in general) at least owe that to Mr. Vento after what he's had to endure...make mine mushrooms and whiz-wid!
