You can’t, they can’t on you either. It’s a personal choice and you have to go with your faith on it.

So you will continue to profiteer on tragedy? Patrick, I have been a customer of yours for 20 plus years. This whole incident knowing both sides and seeing you dance around doing what you said you would do for months after you inserted yourself unasked and unwelcome to tragedy and made it worse has destroyed any credibility you have with myself and many other Business and Social leaders in Springfield Missouri.

I remember when I was going to college and was car less after the military and would pass by Thai Express on Bennett and Glenstone when biking to school or work, your Father always made sure I was fed and safe, he even helped me get rides when it was raining that fall. He never asked for a dime beyond the standard 5-6 bucks for a plate of noodles and chicken.

Amazing how far the apple has fallen from the tree, sad.

I didn’t read your post but what would he have to do in my eyes to be forgiven?

Admit publicly he did use the child’s death for publicity and profit, admit he tried to hire a defamation lawyer to stop the story from being ran and no one would pick up the case, admit his ego got in the way of paying the family due to being called out for making their daughters death about his new resturaunt, admit he pushed his father out years ago with a made up story about abuse and resign from the company.

That would be about it for me and I feel a majority of springfieldians. This is after 20 years of going there 2-3 times a week.

Sounds like the WTF Springfield Group and their worship for Mick Hickman and Brad Calbert, even though the latter is a confirmed creep.

Yet he has a history of profiteering off of tragedy, masked with “helping.”

Ask the girl that was supposed to get a car.

I think the weather and the fact there are so many Christmas lights allows for exaggeration of the situation.
