Yes, they weren't doing anything and that includes making a purchase in a place of business. Many businesses have policies against loitering.

Like Boomslang, the guy in the video is looking for trouble and he found it. I don't know the neighborhood or the history around that restaurant, but the white guy he ambushed, coming out of the restroom, went to order something. Maybe he is a regular customer.

Boomslang wants us all to accept everybody equally without regard to the trouble they might cause, but prejudice is a natural self protection mechanism. Our society is getting better, but forced equality will foment more segregation.

Boomslang's own testimonial has many facts missing, like where it occured. He admits he went looking for what he found.

In some places you have to pay to use a restroom. For convenience some businesses offer restricted use to customers. If they leave it open to anybody, they would need a full-time maintenance crew to clean up after some of the users.

It didn't use to be that way. You used to be able to drive into a gas station and air up your tires. But now, many charge you for the air. There used to be telephone booths all over the place. They were often vandalized and used as a restroom. Times have changed because society has changed, And I don't think it is for the better.
