A Huntington restaurant owner is under fire for comments he made Monday afternoon about people who participated in a Black Lives Matter march that passed through downtown Huntington.
Luigi Petrone, co-owner of Tutto Pazzo, referred to marchers as “a bunch of kids, little punks, they look like little animals, savages,” he said.
“They knew if they come into Huntington, they’re going to have a problem,” he said as the marchers moved through the downtown area. “They came in and they came out,” Petrone said. “They saw a bunch of us. With a bunch of watermelons we were going to throw at them,” he said.
Tracey Edwards, former town board member and Long Island Regional Director of the NAACP, wrote in response, “You need to apologize to the rest of the business owners in the village trying to get their business back up and running.
“We are all trying to unite and then here you come with your video. You need to make another video and don’t be shy. Apologize to all of us.
