Keyboard commandos vs actual activism and support.

Its often been said, that one side of this debate is keyboard commandos, and the other side engages in real activism.

I give you this example:

After Papa Roux robbery, discount promised for handgun license holders

Maureen C. Gilmer, [e-mail] 4:22 p.m. EDT October 26, 2015

Papa Roux is the latest Indy restaurant to be robbed, following four others on the Eastside and another in Broad Ripple.

The Eastside restaurant owned by Bouvier was robbed Saturday night, the first time that's happened in the popular Cajun eatery's eight years of business. Now, Bouvier is offering a 25 percent discount to customers who can show a handgun license.

"We're not saying, 'Show us your gun.' But if you're a legal and stable carrier of a (handgun license), I'm going to reward that," he said. "To me, it's common sense. And until further notice, you'll get 25 percent off your bill."

"A few loyal customers have said they’ll be avoiding Papa Roux because of my stance, and that's a little disheartening. But it's minuscule compared to the overwhelming support," he said. "It’s a shame that some people feel they need to stay away. They’ll go out to eat with the possibility that a criminal will bring a gun in, but they’ll stay away if they think customers might be carrying. That’s weird to me.

That's the background. Now have a look at this (again, the bolding is mine)

At Papa Roux, discount draws a crowd of Second Amendment supporters

Robert King, [e-mail] 7:12 p.m. EDT October 26, 2015

Typically, it's the catfish plate or the po' boy sandwiches that draw customers to Papa Roux, a Cajun restaurant on East 10th Street near Post Road.

But Monday's unusually heavy crowds at Art Bouvier's little slice of Louisiana in the Midwest didn't just come for the crawfish jambalaya. They also came to support Bouvier's stance on guns. Specifically, Papa Roux's embrace of people who are licensed to carry weapons.

“This is crazy for a Monday,” he said.

By 11 a.m. every table had been claimed, and by noon it was a dozen people deep inside the store, with more folks waiting in the parking lot to get inside. Among them were accountants and medical office workers, a paramedic and an HVAC repairman, small-business owners and a smiling politician.

But if there were gun opponents in the lunch crowd at Papa Roux on Monday, they were keeping their views to themselves. There were no protests outside the shop. And even on Bouvier’s Facebook page, the skeptics of his purposes and wisdom were drowned out by affirmations of his stance. In the restaurant, the celebration of the Second Amendment was at fullest volume.
