He appeals and his lawyer manages to find some small technicality that the prosecutor screwed up on so the verdict is over turned and he's a free man. 

Next day he walk into the restaurant and wants me to cook for him. Judge me all you want but no way am I serving that piece of shit anything.

That is an interesting case.  And I would certainly have sympathy for the person in that instance (I don't know if  a restraining order would be possible).  Heck, if they skipped out on the bill last time, I would think that could be good reason to boot them out.   However, I don't think that principles should be founded on specialty cases.  And as we have seen,  it doesn't seem to be a matter of being on a list (as only those who have rights) either.  I don't think so any way.  I do think however; that screams of bigotry and rally cries of standing up to bigotry; seem a little more hollow now though, especially, even more so, when the word is so often used incorrectly.

That's reminiscient of the case in which a father caught a youth spying on his daughter as she was dressing. The father pursued the youth, caught him, and proceeded to assault him. The father was ultimately prosecuted, if I recall correctly, which just goes to show that two wrongs don't make a right.
