Barrio Logan coffee shop owner, Jeff Rambo,\u00a0 is facing backlash because he&#8217;s a law enforcement officer, specifically a Border Patrol Agent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It hurts personally in the sense this is my dream and someone is trying to tear it down,&#8221; Rambo spoke about the issue.\u00a0 Rambo is the owner of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.storymakerscoffee.com\/\"> Storymakers Coffee Roasters.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In September, disparaging and libelous flyers began appearing around his shop and in the neighborhood. The flyers that were posted around his community, were accusing him of being a racist and were saying \u201cNo pigs allowed in our community\u201d because of his work as a U.S. Border Patrol agent. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On one of the flyers was a reference to a 2018 investigation. Rambo was accused of blackmailing a journalist to reveal her sources but Rambo was cleared of any misconduct.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019d say it\u2019s unfortunate,&#8221; Rambo said. &#8220;Whoever posted them never asked me about the accusations before posting, because they\u2019re all untrue.&#8221; Not only has this affected Rambo as an owner but his employees as well. Rambo saw sales go down by 60%, which forced him to close for two days of the week, impacting two of his employees who live in Barrio Logan, &#8221; When you target me and you\u2019re jeopardizing the business, it affects them because I have to reduce hours, or an unfortunate aspect is if I have to lay them off because business is being impacted&#8221; said Rambo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I definitely don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s fair. As long as he&#8217;s treating people right, I\u2019m all for equal opportunity&#8221; said an unidentified man.\u00a0 Rambo says that despite the negativity he will continue to pursue his passion and keep his store open. Rambo is just the latest example of cancel culture, tearing someone down not because of a bad act, but because of their profession or associations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Sasha Reva Even though some of the people hate him, he still wants to serve his community and change the vision of law enforcement.
