Efforts to get the lawyer disbarred were underway.

A lawyers advocacy group in New York took deliberate steps on Thursday to distance itself from an attorney whose racist outburst at a food shop in Manhattan was filmed and went viral this week. Aaron Schlossberg, a White man whose angry face has since been etched across social media, cursed out a couple of store employees because they were, gasp, speaking Spanish to each other. At one point, he threatened to call ICE, the federal agency in charge of enforcing immigration crimes.

While it was unclear how those two efforts would play out, what was plain to see was that Schlossberg’s website plainly stated he was “a member of the New York State Bar Association.” But a phone call proved that to be resoundingly untrue.

“Mr. Schlossberg is not a member of the New York State Bar Association,” Dan Weiller, the group’s managing director of marketing and communications, declared to NewsOne in no uncertain terms during a phone call Thursday morning.

1. The fellow he is berating looks so young..I am disgusted by this Schlossberg - and

his ilk....

The young man needs a medal..he demonstrated such calm, and patience..OMG -

3. Looked to me like the kid was wanting an excuse to clock him one! Nice job keeping his

cool.

2. So, he's a racist AND a liar. Got it. Well at least his colleagues got some music and tacos.

So all is not lost. And we got to watch in glee as he got doxxed. And no one will ever hire him again (aside from the Trump admin, of course).

5. He'll be hired soon by

……Trump. Fox News. Breitbart type places.

Feels so good that this ugly, entitled, bully is being confronted.

6. This thug will continue to get his ass literally kicked to ...

the curb now just about everywhere he goes. Good. Garbage in, garbage out, this is a saying we have in IT and it apply applies to people like this, garbage in, garbage out.

Now it's time to take the garbage out.

7. I hope the restaurant banned him and in fact I would hope all of them would ban him as

he is the type of customer that most businesses do not need.

8. Isn't it a felony to fraudulently claim bar membership?

9. He was hiding from people under an umbrella

and a ski cap today. I guess he isn't as tough now that he is "the worst person in the world".

14. There is a funny video of him running to get away from an NBC reporter. On the one hand,

I think reporters and photographers who relentlessly follow and badger people are obnoxious and that such harassment should be legally curtailed. On the other hand, though, I can't help thinking he deserves what he is getting.

(Still, the ,behavior of the reporters and photographers is truly disgusting.)

On edit: post #13 below has that NBC video.

15. I love to see karma happen quickly and not have to

wait for it. The same ass harassed some dude walking down 5th Ave in NY with a friend, out of the blue and for no reason. Someone posted it on DU last night.

16. I saw that one, too. nt

11. A few reasons to learn another language

on this site. And btw, great last name of Schlossberg to be demanding English only.

12. "...not a member of the New York State Bar Association," - GASP! A lawyer who lies?

"...not a member of the New York State Bar Association,” - GASP! A lawyer who lies?

Is Rudy Guliani hiring?

13. He's a coward too.

17. The manager let that go on far too long.

If I was the floor manager, as soon as he started in on his tirade it would have been "I set the policies here. You are not welcome here. Leave now and never come back."
