From what I've heard, this is their whole thing. Folks set up and sit in there for hours.

This is what's going to kill them. Whatever half-ass reason the manager is gonna give for wanting these guys gone is going to be discriminatory as hell.

I'm not familiar enough with the story to know if the manager personally asked them to leave. I thought she had denied them access to the restroom or something. Either way, the cops showed up and asked them to leave and they refused. That's trespassing. But trust me, I absolutely see that this whole scenario is weak and obviously racist as hell.
