Surely nobody could have seen this coming! You remember Jan Morgan, that nice lady who declared her Hot Springs, Arkansas, gun range a Muslim-Free Zone, because of all the violence and beheadings that the Muslims are always up to -- not to mention the unnerving Muslim ringtones on their phones? It turns out that she's still quite happily running a Muslim-free establishment, and everything's just great! Oh, and she has a great method for deciding who's a Muslim and who isn't: good old racial profiling.
The fun started when a college student from Hot Springs decided it would be fun to take his dad to Morgan's establishment, The Gun Cave, for a little target practice before the son had to go back to college, but they got kicked out by a woman at the gun range, presumably Morgan:
My dad and I used to go to this gun range," said the young man, who asked not to be identified by name, "but we haven’t had as much of a chance to go in recent years since I've been at college. It's changed ownership recently."
"When we went in, a woman asked, ‘Where are you guys from?’ We told her we were from Hot Springs. She said, "this is a Muslim free shooting range," so if we are [Muslim] and if we don’t like the rule, then leave. We said that we’re not Muslim, but my dad asked, ‘Why is it Muslim free?’ and they started having a conversation. Then, all of a sudden, I don’t know what went wrong, but she stopped us from filling out the paperwork and said ‘I don’t think you guys should be here.’ She told us to leave or she’d call the cops on us."
Not wanting to cause a scene, they left.
The young man added, "We’re brown; I don’t know if she assumed we were Muslim." He also said the woman told him that Muslims weren't allowed: "I would hope if you were Muslim you guys wouldn't be cowards and would be up front about it." When you think about it, it's really nice of her, to hold people to such high ethical standards like that. The student told the Arkansas Times that he wasn't planning to pursue legal action, but that he did want people to be aware of what had happened to him and his father. He also told his story to a local TV station:
[contextly_sidebar id="I1gIMKQ9Z9XX8oNzYgJUGGi7ET47n3OA"]While Morgan promptly hung up on a reporter from the Arkansas Times, she was willing to tell her side of the story to the Washington Post, and darned if her version isn't completely different from the story told by the heathen Hindoo guy! It's like that foreign movie where a bunch of other little brown people can't agree on what happened. Just goes to show your Asiatics have trouble with the straightforward truth.
In Morgan's telling, there were all sorts of very good reasons that she turned away the father and son, and not a single one of them has a thing to do with their skin color!
Morgan confirmed that she did, in fact, ask the two people in question to leave the gun range, where they were applying for membership. But not, she said, because she thought they were Muslim. Instead, the pair’s “strange” behavior led her to conclude that “these people might not be safe handling firearms in this range,” she said.
“I’m not going to say blatantly that someone was under the influence of drugs or alcohol…” Morgan said. She added: “I didn’t even let them finish filling out the membership forms.”
But that's not all! Her story continued to evolve as the interview went forward. She declined to say whether the TV news account of what she supposedly said to the customers was accurate, replying, "I’m not going to get into that.” The more she talked, the more she remembered, like how she just knew they were trouble-makers -- drunk, unsafe, strange-behaving troublemakers -- the minute they came through the door:
But she said that “the allegation that we turn people away on their skin color is absolutely a lie.” Later in the interview, Morgan said she believes it was possible the applicants had an “agenda,” adding: “It was clearly designed to create the situation that occurred”
Somehow, the interview ended before Morgan could call them "outside agitators."
On her Facebook page, Morgan is pretty pleased with how she has taken down the liberal media once again, because you know what? She has photos of actual Indian Hindu people shooting at the Gun Cave, and if she let those people in, why would she ever turn away somebody else? No racism here, except in the liberal media that are trying to destroy her! She explains once more that she doesn't discriminate on the basis of skin color, but:
We do however, refuse to allow people to shoot here who display behavior that is irrational or might indicate they are under the influence of alcohol or mind altering drugs.
We are dealing in lethal weapons here. I turn anyone away that I feel presents a safety and security risk to other patrons.
Guess after she talked to theWashington Post, she was a little more willing to say blatantly they were under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Stupid irrational drunk mind-altered guys were a risk to everybody, and instead of getting thanks for keeping her patrons safe, she's getting called a racist. Well, she'll have you know that she serves all kinds of people, just not the Muslims because they have a murderous head-cutty-offy religion:
We have a number of people with all colors of skin who shoot here, including Indian / Hindu religion folks who have joined our membership and some of them actually have sought out my services for private training, which I provided.
So... once again... the mainstream media, gets it wrong and is caught lying to the American people..
I'm so shocked.. lol... ( NOT)
Good one! Morgan reports that "business is booming" at her establishment, which certainly comes as a surprise. Where on Earth would she find a bunch of people who think she's some kind of a hero for completely disregarding the Civil Rights Act?

As long as the (theoretical) comments section here remains a no-wingnut zone I am OK.
