Restaurant Uses ‘I Can’t Breathe’ Sign To Honor Murdered Vet, Liberals Everywhere Offended

WWII veteran Delbert “Shorty” Belton was murdered in a “random attack” at the age of 89 on August 21, 2013. In an attempt to draw attention to his story and honor his memory, a restaurant posted a sign using the now-popular “I can’t breathe” phrase that started after the death of Eric Garner.

From Inquisitr:

According to the Spokesman-Review, Delbert Belton, a WWII veteran living in Spokane, was killed in August. One teenager, Kenan Adams-Kenard, who is black, pleaded guilty and received 20 years in prison. Another is still awaiting trial.

Following Kenard’s guilty plea, Annie Pennington, a waitress at the Hillside Inn, decided to show some support for Belton. Belton’s nickame around town was “Shorty,” so when she changed the sign outside the Hillside Inn to read “Shorty Can’t Breathe Either,” she thought she was just rallying the town to show the kind of support Garner received earlier this year…

The NAACP, however, is not pleased with Penningtons’s take on the “I Can’t Breathe” movement. Newly elected NAACP President Rachel Dolezal said the sign can’t help but draw comparisons to Garner and the national movement his case inspired.

“Even if the intention is not to be associated with that, using the same words implies an association. People will connect it to that issue. It’s just really sad, because it seems like it’s potentially a confusion of the intention behind the I Can’t Breathe movement.”

According to Dolezal, the “I Can’t Breathe” movement is intended to draw attention to a pattern of unarmed black people being killed by police. According to the New Republic, 550 police killings went unreported in 2012.
