Does this count as ‘don’t mess with Texas’?
Texas Tourists Arrested for Assaulting NYC Restaurant Hostess Checking Vaccine Cards
The hostess at an Italian restaurant in New York City was attacked Thursday by three tourists from Texas after she asked for their COVID-19 vaccination cards, a requirement to dine in city restaurants.
In a video shared on social media, three women — identified as Kaeita Nkeenge Rankin, 44, and Tyonnie Keshay Rankin, 21, of Humble, Texas, and Sally Rechelle Lewis, 49, of Houston — are seen arguing with the hostess of Carmine’s on the Upper West Side before repeatedly punching the 24-year-old. Bystanders and staff broke up the fight, which left the hostess bruised and scratched up, and the women broke her necklace, police told The New York Times.
The three women were arrested and charged with assault and criminal mischief, and ordered to return for a court appearance. An unnamed patient was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital.
Just like you have to show ID to get into a bar, you need to show proof of vaccination in various places (including here in the People’s Republic of Seattle). This is an object-lesson in our failure to have a minimum standard. The Trump-Virus doesn’t respect by our puny human borders any more than a Texas Tourist.
They need to do real jail time for this, say a year.

Texans sigh. When they travel out of state, they need to wear, let’s say a big yellow T on their puffed-up chests. That way other people would both know to give them room and not to expect civility from them. I know they aren’t all buffoons, but so many are.
