Austin Restaurant Thai Noodle House Closes Amid Furor Over Eddie Nimibutrs Sandy Hook Comments

(digitaltexan.net)

Just hours after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on Friday, Austin business owner Eddie Nimibutr wrote on his personal Facebook page that he didn’t “care if a bunch of white kids got killed.”

The resulting backlash was both swift and severe. On Monday, Nimibutr’s restaurant, Thai Noodle House, was forced to close its doors and turn off its lights, KEYE-TV reported. Only time will tell if the close is permanent, but the owner said the restaurant will stay closed for the time being for fear retaliation against him and his employees.

After initially refusing to apologize and telling those who disagreed with him they didn’t have to eat at his restaurant, Nimibutr provided an apology of sorts to KEYE-TV, but he did not completely take back his statement.

“[It] was a bad response, I shouldn’t have said it in those words,” said Nimibutr. “Looking back at it, it was better to say something than to be silent.”

In case you missed it, this is the portion of Nimibutr’s Facebook post that landed him in hot water:

“I don’t care if a bunch of white kids got killed. F**k Post-Racial bullsh*t. When kids from minority groups get shot, nobody cares. When Israel launched missiles at the school on Gaza, everybody was too busy jerking off. Why should i care about people who dont give a damn about me?”

(Austinist.com)

His offensive post quickly went viral and was picked up by local and national media. Now he says he is “shocked” and “a little bit scared too.” Nimibutr claims he has been receiving death threats and people have been driving by his home and business.

“I do apologize, because maybe it was a little insensitive to write something like that, right that day the day of the shooting,” he told KEYE-TV.

But the restaurant owner says he just wanted to shine light on violence around the world and mental health issues.

“Nothing is being done, I mean were talking about gun laws, you know, Congress is going to do this, Congress is going to do that,” he said.

A Facebook page calling for a boycott of the restaurant has since been created, with hundreds people demanding an apology.

The bible says, “man will give account of every idle word he speaks”. This guy is having to pay and give account very severely. That is why it is wise to keep your mouth shut if you don’t know what you are talking about and don’t understand what truth is. An even man out of the evil abundance of his heart brings forth evil things. His evil tongue reaped bad consequences. He reaped what he sowed.

  Unfortunately he has the right to say whatever is in his foolish heart. But you’re right, he will have to give an account to God someday.

  What purpose will an apology serve? I’m sorry you caught me saying this, but it is what I really believe in my heart? Saying you are sorry will not change a thing, he will still believe what he believes and I, for one, would NEVER step foot into his restaurant. Sorry or not.

  You would think that the Hollywood millionaires would adhere to this for their own good, but, No…. they always seem to be compelled to espouse what they feel is right and demand those that spend money on their form of art be compelled to follow their enlightened mindset. Just how out of touch are they? They do not live in the middle class which lives reality on a daily basis and is then burdened with the cost of these Socialist ideals. Keep popping the grapes in your mouth Holly weird. Your base (and those who care to watch) are dwindling.

  The sad fact is our president is using this for political gain, making he and liberals hypocrites. If it were not so why did he wait until this happened to the white community as his hometown Chicago under Daley and now Emmanuel has many more murders of African American children?
  I sure don’t know the answers but I do know hypocrisy of this horribly mean government who is not for us but against us.

  I called it, as did a few on the previous thread:
  
  http://www.theblaze.com/stories/i-dont-care-if-a-bunch-of-white-kids-got-killed-find-out-who-said-this-about-sandy-hook-massacre/
  
  Ditto Head said, “He’ll be out of business by this time next year.” Good call.
  
  But most of the posts were like doubletap (that username is sure cutesy): “He will get plenty of business, all dark skinned,” and “Not in Austin, his business will triple with all the America hating hippies that live there.” Another poster, Not A Crazy (sure, as if) says, “This guy is just another one of those open-minded loving leftist… I will never forget he is a leftist and I will never darken the door of his worthless establishment.”
  
  UT has a large, diverse student body, and is probably has one of the most liberal, smart, diverse and educated concentrations of people in the US. And based on Facebook of a nearby restaurant owner (who is not a part of the UT system), you say liberals are a bunch of bigots. I’d say that’s over generalization. In fact, given that the restaurant closed due to the general outrage at the owner’s raciest comments, I’d say that you’re confused about liberalism. Not confused really, but projecting your idea that liberal are super-bigots, and that you are ever so tolerant.
  
  Sorry, the majority of Americans don’t view you that way. But that’s just a perception right?

  Obama said he could no more disown him than …
  
  If you say something liberal and still want to be part of the party, you have to check your status & color. This guy in Austin was Asian not black or Hispanic. He was not a leader of the community in religion, politics or an NGO. Therefore he had no political capital at all to spend to attempt to ride this out.

  I think you’re saying saying that this guy wasn’t supported because he was Asian. Odd, since Asians voted overwhelming for Obama and Austin and UT have a large Asian population.
  
  Can you be a little more clear for us regular folks?

  You say that you can’t understand what I write. Then you hit the nail on the head of one of my 2 points of the last post.
  
  Yes Asians are not as supported as much as Black or Hispanics. There are caps for Asian in the state of California for college admissions. Just like there is a pecking order for unions there is one for minorities. And the left implicitly shows us what that pecking order is by their actions.
  
  (The real question is when Hispanic clout grows how will the racist black civil rights leader view it? You can’t practice racial spoils politics & have a happy ending.}
  
  If Edward Nimibutr had just used the mantra that he meant something similar to the liberal talking point of “an amber alert for a white kid gets more news play than an amber alert for a black kid” & it upsets him, then he would have been safe. But he didn’t & the left had to toss him overboard.

  Freedom of speech is a 2 way street. Sure, he has the right to say this…but…there is also a freedom of his detractors to boycott his establishment using their freedom of speech. So, more power to him for this extremely stupid thing that he said, I am looking for no apology from him.

He is trying to sell it because well don’t you know channels with low ratings sell for HIGH PROFITS! Time Warner is dropping OVTV due to low ratings. Current TV has lower ratings than OVTV. How much rope were the hosts of Current TV given? OMG too much :)

His comment about the kids murdered was very insensitive to say the least. However, his points about no one paying much attention to the plight of minorities being killed in our large cities, and the violence in Israel do in fact have some validity. I would add, that there were more children killed by partial birth abortion this year, than in this horrible massacre in CT, and the media and our nation could care less. These children will never have the chance to be hugged by a loving parent, or make it to kindergarten, and our politicians call this a “right”, while they ignorantly attempt to remove our legitimate rights under the second amendment.

Boycott Austin, Boycott any and all businesses that support liberalism. NO GE products, No GM and Chrysler autos, No progressive Insurance, No time warner, NO to any local businesses that gives monetary support to liberal and democrat politicians.

  You are right on that count, there should be no expression of a violent act against him. That goes beyond freedom of speech. As I said before, freedom of speech is a two way street though. While he should not have to endure physical threats against him, no more than NRA members should either, by the way…he will have to endure to very real world consequences of exercising his freedom of speech in the actions to boycott his establishment by his detractors. His problem here, it is not a lack of freedom of speech, his problem is, he went over the side of the cliff, waving his flag…

Now, why is it, do you suppose, he thinks only CONGRESS can do something? If you want something done, you need to see to it yourself. We 9-12ers/Tea Partiers/Red Blooded Americans always knew that, and our work has only just begun. Keep Congress out of it; name one thing they have done efficiently, anyway…!

  If I’m not mistaken, Congress never misses a chance to efficiently raise their pay.

“When kids from minority groups get shot, nobody cares.”

He must have a bag over his head up his ass while living in a cave when it comes to the Trayvon Martin case. It’s the only way anyone in the US could fail to notice the mountains of outrage over a minority kid’s shooting death.

As for people buying stuff they don’t need, I’m sure you won’t mind your (former!) customers realizing your restaurant is unnecessary, when they can prepare home-cooked meals.

  I’m pretty sure there are plenty of other Thai-noodle restaurants in Austin with dollar signs in their eyes.

  If their businesses start booming, they should be sending him thank-you notes. Though I don’t know where to find “Thank you for killing your business and helping mine” cards.

Now he says he is “shocked” and “a little bit scared too.” Nimibutr claims he has been receiving death threats and people have been driving by his home and business.

Idiot! What did you think was going to happen?

  He didn’t build that business. He didn’t shut that business down. That was somebody else. Neither did he build those roads in front of his home and business on which people are driving past. That was someone else again. :)

Ahhh beautiful country we live in. You have the right indeed to make such an insensitive, ignorant, callous remark. And guess what citizens have the right to choose not to frequent your establishment. But hey look on the bright side, you can get in line for some Obama bucs, and stamps MORON!

I’d call this “swift justice” in the court of public opinion.

  Kickagrandma,
  
  Funny, I’ve noticed your comments and imagined you might be a quilter as well! Not exactly sure why, but maybe because you put the pieces together well!

That creep was more than a little insensitive in his comments. I wonder if he really has had death threats or if that was just a lie to make others sound as bad as he is or if is he trying to get some sympathy.

I’m sorry his employees lost their jobs. Him losing his…..not at all.

“After initially refusing to apologize and telling those who disagreed with him they didn’t have to eat at his restaurant,”

And that is what closed it .. not any threats .. people would not support this moron’s business.

  Although our first amendment allows us say anything we please it also comes with a price. Anyone remember the Dixie Chicks?

My hope is that when he attempts to re-open….his business will fail miserably.

  Not to worry, the economy will have collapsed by then.

You should give a damn Mr Alphabet because those “white kids” have “white parents” who until recently..kept you in business. A business you couldn’t open in Gaza by the way. Thanks for playing.

  He could not open his business in the southern province of Thailand either. The Muslims there would kill him.
