| You can't get a pizza without a slice of politics! The Marshalls were assaulted by two Long Island Pizza workers. One of the members uttered a racial slur and word salad of President Barack Obama according to the Marshalls. |
NIGGER, this one's for Obama?
This is what two customers are saying in regards to a fight that happened at a pizzeria after they had complained about couple of slices.
This was picking up political buzz. The very fact that two customers (both Black) were assaulted by the servers (both White) and afflicted with racial slurs.
The post election hangover should have been over with!
President Barack Obama trounced Mitt Romney. The former Republican nominee is forever branded a "perennial loser" whenever he gets a notion to run for higher office.
Reasons to why this controversy gotten buzz, thank the Black news agitators and social media!
CBS New York and WINS AM are reporting that this incident has strained into a peaceful protest and opened the potential for a lawsuit against the owner. The owner of the pizzeria denies any wrongdoing!

One of the alleged victims, Willie Marshall, said it was the most shocking thing of his life.
A visit last Saturday to Paesano II Pizza in Greenlawn ended with an injury to his eye. and his wife, Alfie, with blood on her shirt and shoes, and an injury to her head too graphic to show on television.
“He stomped me in my face again, then he made a racial slur — I don’t want to say it on the air, I don’t want to do that,” Willie Marshall said.
The Marshalls said it all began when they complained about their two slices of pizza, which the couple said was stuck to the bag it was packed in. The Marshalls said the workers there refused to correct the problem or issue a refund and began cursing and screaming.
The Marshalls claim they turned to leave before the men at the counter, brothers Frank and Michael Meringolo, mocked them, threw a salt or pepper shaker at Mrs. Marshall, hit Mr. Marshall and used ugly language, CBS 2′s Tony Aiello reported.
The pizzeria employees were charged with misdemeanor assault.
“We don’t deserve this, and nobody else deserves this either,” Alfie Marshall said.
“The allegations as they appear to be, that one of the employees had said ‘This is for Obama.’ You tell me what that means?” said the Marshalls’ attorney, J. Stewart Moore.
“He used the ‘N’ word. He said [expletive] this is for Obama,” Willie Marshall added.
The attorney for the pizzeria’s owner said Marshall threw a jar of Parmesan cheese at his clients, not the other way around as claimed, 1010 WINS’ Gary Baumgarten reported.
The Meringolo brothers also claimed Alfie Marshall was hurt inadvertently when her husband ran and bumped her into the door and that no racial slurs were uttered.

Obama backlash is completely untrue,” defense attorney Richard Toscani said.
The Marshalls are members of the Joshua Baptist Cathedral and Bishop Stephanie B. Riddle-Green said he was astonished an incident such as this happened on Long Island.
“I’m flabbergasted — if I could use that word. I’m flabbergasted that this is happened in 2012. Our president is President Barack Obama,” she said.
The pizzeria employees claim Willie Marshall initiated the altercation. He said he was peaceful until he saw his wife was injured.
“As I was going out the door, there were some chairs standing there, and quite naturally, when I saw the blood I got very angry and I kicked the chairs,” he said.
The Marshalls said they may file a lawsuit. Their church is planning a peaceful protest march at the pizzeria next week.
At first, the district attorney did not classify the incident as a bias crime, but later Friday afternoon, prosecutors announced they were referring the case back to the Suffolk County Police Department for further investigation.
