The NAACP is mad, ladies and gentlemen. Really mad. Why? Because a restaurant in Spokane decided to use the “I Can’t Breath” phrase to honor an actual victim, not a criminal.

Cue the Spokesman-Review for a little background information:

Annie Pennington started waiting tables as a teenager, and remembers serving Delbert Belton, a friend of her father’s.

Belton, a World War II veteran, was beaten to death in August 2013. One black teenager has pleaded guilty. Another will be tried in March.

Belton also was a regular customer at the Hillside Inn Restaurant, Pennington’s family-run diner on Nevada Street. So when Kenan Adams-Kinard pleaded guilty to murder, Pennington thought nothing of changing the sign outside her restaurant to read: “Shorty can’t breathe either.”

Pennington chose this phrase as a means to call out the light sentence issued to one of the killers. If you recall, killer Kenan Adams-Kinard pleaded guilty and thus received a relatively light 20-year sentence. This fact upset Pennington, as well as her restaurant’s frequent patrons.

Even if the intention is not to be associated with that, using the same words implies an association. People will connect it to that issue.

It’s just really sad, because it seems like it’s potentially a confusion of the intention behind the I Can’t Breathe movement.
