Well after watching a video on Tik Tok of a girl in Iran expressing her pain of what's happening their I made a duet video of it to share her message. I look up after and it seemed I offended a older Hispanic guy seating two seats away from me. A man who was looking for another man it seems. Anyway, the bar back comes to me along with the bartender and asked me to leave. I was so in shock that I had to make a video of what was happening. SHAME ON YOU MS. ELLY'S“
