Idiot mocks Marine with no legs for wearing a Cowboys jersey

10/25/2012

File this story under "really classy, jackass." A Marine who lost both legs in Afghanistan had to leave a restaurant in Charlotte, N.C., because a fellow patron would not stop taunting him for wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey. Garrett Carnes was trying to enjoy a meal with his wife, parents and some friends at the Moosehead Grill after taking in the Panthers-Cowboys game when a patron identified as "Tank" began mocking him for his team affiliation. Tank went so far as to call Carnes' wheelchair a crutch. Carnes and his group eventually opted to leave, a move that restaurant manager Chris Neilsen says made him feel "miserable." Neilsen says Tank is no longer welcome at his eatery. Or pretty much anywhere else. [Source]
