A white man was recorded on video hounding a barista at a NYC coffee shop Thursday morning and demanding she take down a Black Lives Matter sign that he said offended him.
"I don't understand why this is so offensive to you, to see something saying that Black Lives Matter," the barista says."It is not saying that all lives don't matter, it's just saying that Black lives matter because they haven't mattered in this country for, like, ever."
During the video of the episode, which lasts more than 10 minutes, other patrons near the takeout window can be heard telling the man to leave because he is causing problems, which he denies. identified the man as Abraham Knopfler. He told the outlet later Thursday,"I just wanted to defend all lives matter.""Black Lives Matter or All Lives Matter is not my concern, and it went way out of hand," he said."I wish I can apologize to the coffee shop. My biggest concern as of now is the fact that marijuana is still illegal, after we all know it's not dangerous at all.
