Restaurant slammed for playing National Anthem by Tik Tok users

Is being Patriotic in the US dead. Tik tok users seem to think so. Not only Tik tok fans here in the US but, from around the world. Some say it's so strange in their country they never hear their National Anthem.

This is very appalling!
Americans especially the American's that commented negatively about the National Anthem are showing no respect for those that fought and died for their Freedom and their Freedom of speech!

A viral video of patriotic patrons standing up for the National Anthem inside a Southern California bar has shocked some media users who left thousands of horrified comments on TikTok post.

The 14-second video posted by a user identified as 'Paulina' shows roughly a half dozen individuals standing for the Star-Spangled Banner as it played on a TV screen.

'By far the most dangerous situation I've ever been in,' Paulina wrote alongside the hashtags 'godblessamerica,' 'getout,' 'illegal,' and 'whitepeoplethings.'

The video was taken at the Rainbow Oaks Restaurant in Fallbrook - a city located around 50 miles northeast of San Diego.

According to KUSI, the restaurant plays the National Anthem every day at noon.

One video posted by the San Diego news station in April shows the restaurant packed with customers, all singing the patriotic tune with their hands over their hearts.

The TikTok user who posted the now viral-video of the salute was clearly not aware of the daily tradition and was stunned by the display.

Shared less than a week ago, the video has garnered more than 3.1 million views.

Not all who watched were moved by the large group standing for the National Anthem, however, as the majority of comments were outraged and disgusted.

'Serious question. Is this real? Like people actually do this in real everyday life?' one user asked.

'This happened when i was at mission bbq once and it was so awkward that i haven’t been back since,' another responded.

'As someone from the uk this feels so dystopian,' one person said.

'This feels like a horror movie,' another added.

'As a Canadian this is kind of insane,' one user wrote.

'I would be scared for my life,' one person responded.

Others who chimed in called the video, 'wild' and 'terrifying.'

I saw this video, and have watched it several times since. One, step down off that high perch about the National Anthem. It's a song. And it's a song we only hear when played before kick-off or the first pitch. Yeah, our sacred national Anthem is so dear and to be honored only when we're drinking and cheering and eating nachos.

Secondly, a restaurant randomly playing the national anthem and requiring its patrons to stand and honor it is poor etiquette. You want to impose your brand of nationalism over my meal is overstepping your service to the clients.

I love the National Anthem; it brings tears to my eyes. But it's a song. The flag is a piece of cloth. And labels are merely weaponize words meat to harm ad not to educate, heal or build. If people spent 10 minutes reading about the founding of this nation, if they reflected upon the ideals they love hearing so much at their kids' pageants, if they chose kindness and enlightenment over identity politics and "politics and a game" mentality, then maybe the US would remember its compass, its ideals and its True North. Patriotism isn't about songs or sneakers or M&Ms or vaccines or clever sayings or one-upmanship. It's about letting other citizens feel any way they want to about when and where the National Anthem is played.

@Graylight It was sang to honor our Brave Soldiers! It's a common thing around there. They do it at noon everyday. They have done it many many years. It's not like they just started this. The person who filmed this evidently from around there. She was aware that they done this, if it made her feel so weird she shouldn't had went.

@specman Do it in your homes. Or don’t knock the people who don’t fall in line. It’s America - land of the free.

@Graylight if it bothered her to honor those who gave her her freedoms she didn’t have to go there knowing they were about to do it.

Graylight · 51-55, F

@specman Has a person military given me in the last 20 years? Seriously, what freedom? They have no sway over my civil liberties, I’m not in a war region, and nobody has been banging on our front door.

The national anthem is about patriotism and country, not military. Not flyovers. Not football teams in camo.

specman · 51-55, M

@Graylight The National Anthem is about honoring our Freedoms and those veterans and fallen heroes! Without them we would not have a country. So you enjoy freedom . There are soldiers waiting to fight and die for our country!

Graylight · 51-55, F

@specman For what reason? This "military is great, military is right, military can do no wrong" hurts everyone. Did you serve? Do you know what the military's even like? And if the entire damn thing is so honorable and demands such great respect, maybe don't ambush people with it as they eat their chicken fried steak.

Let me ask you this? When do we get an anthem for what's really killing america? We can call it "Thank God for the Guns."

specman · 51-55, M

@Graylight Maybe so! or we could call it a welcoming of socialism and Transgenders!

You know how many people identify as transgender? 0.6% of U.S. adults. When younger people are added in, that's about 5%, according to Pew Research.

Chronic insomnia – and the damage economically, physically and socially – affects 30% of the general population. 41% are nearsighted, able to kill anyone beyond two feet’s’ distance. 16% of American adults says they've cheated on their taxes, costing the US millions, if not billions. 70% of us have committed a crime that could theoretically lead to jail (Yale Law School professor Stephen Carter). Civil-liberties lawyer Harvey Silverglate estimates that the average person unknowingly breaks at least three federal criminal laws every day.

But this is the issue so many of your are hanging your hats on (confusing transgender with drag, gay and everything else along the way). Not the issue most posing a direct threat, not the issue hurting the most people or costing the most. No, you guys are hung up – yet again – on genetalia and love. What is it you’re so deeply missing that this is so hard for you?

@Graylight look it being the law that passed doesn’t just mean they can only deny gays or transgender individuals but they can deny anyone!

Graylight · 51-55, F

@specman No, that’s not how it reads, but that would be a serious
Ethics violation as well.

specman · 51-55, M

@Graylight how what reads?
