The owner of an Austin restaurant is facing criticism for saying he doesn’t care about a bunch of dead white kids following the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.

According to The Digital Texan, Eddie Nimibutr, chef and owner of Thai Noodle House, posted on Facebook that he didn’t “give a damn” about 20-year-old Adam Lanza killing 26 people, including 20 kids, at Sandy Hook Elementary School Friday.

“I am failing to give a damn about the CT shooting,” Nimibutr posted. “I don’t care if a bunch of white kids got killed.”

He then launched into an expletive-laden tirade.

“F*** post racial bull****. When kids from minority groups get shot nobody cares,” he said, according to The Digital Texas, adding that everyone turned the other way when Israel was launching rockets into Gaza.

According to Austinist, Nimibutr refused to apologize for his initial post.

“You think you know me? You don’t have a clue. I will not apologize,” he wrote.

When a local restaurant writer R.L. Reeves Jr. tried to reach Nimibutr, he was told that Nimibutr was never the owner of the restaurant and that he doesn’t work at the Noodle House anymore, despite listings showing that he is the actual owner.

Nimibutr’s Facebook has since been deactivated.

I feel bad for the kids in the shooting but this guy makes a valid point. I hate how the public ignores the pain of people in other countries.

He has the right to feel the way he does. I just love kids so much that I can't help but feel bad regardless of the race, but I know if that school was in West Philly nobody non black would care...#RealTalk

It's a tough balance between what's inapprorpiate and speaking the truth at the right time.

He's definitely making a solid point, and sometimes it will take a platform like this for it to be felt and understood. But it doesn't diminish the fact that this is a tragedy and borders on making the insensitivitya$$hole list.

He could've left out the part about not caring about the white kids, & would've got the same point across :stopitslime:


nikka was salty

It's a difference between caring about the dead & showing respect for the dead

It wouldn't be news on a grand scale. Certainly wouldn't be tied into gun control laws. Kids around the world get killed in masses everyday, b. It's sad but it happens.
