Suddenly, Nobody's Hungry

I've never been to a Joe's Crab Shack, but apparently they have tables where they put random photos under the glass. And at one location in Roseville, MN, someone put a photo of a lynching there with the caption, "All I said was that I didn't like the gumbo." This was a picture of the lynching of black men by a white mob in Texas in 1895. And I'm sure it was done by someone who just didn't know that lynching is not funny nor appropriate for a dinner table, but who doesn't know that? I mean, who looks at a photo of a lynching and thinks, yeah, this'll be a lighthearted note for the dining experience? The restaurant has apologized, but you have to wonder how the staff looked at this picture and didn't think it was going to be offensive. (KARE-TV/Minneapolis)
