'A bunch of cowards:' Alex Jones filmed loudly berating patrons at Austin restaurant

By Julian Gill

Alex Jones surfaced again in Austin, where he regularly films his show Infowars.

This time, the right-wing commentator and conspiracy theorist stirred up patrons at one of his favorite local restaurants, Lucy's Fried Chicken, where he was filmed calling them various names such as wimps, cowards, traitors and idiots.

"You're not an American," he said in the video, which was sent to EchoplexMedia.com. "You're a slob."

Throughout the video, Jones aggressively engaged with individual customers and spoke with employees trying to control the situation. At one point, he appeared to be coaxing a man to fight, but Jones claims the video doesn't show the whole story.

Addressing the incident in a recent Infowars episode, Jones said he had been eating at a local steakhouse with his wife and Joe Rogan, an MMA color commentator and comedian.

Jones said his wife wasn't satisfied with dinner, so they ended up stopping at Lucy's.

(*OK, so his fat wife couldn't get enough meat (or dick) so they have to go get more meat??)

"We've been going for many years," he said. "It's a great place."

He said they sat at a table inside when several people from the outside dining area approached him. He claimed they told him to "eat shit" and that "we're going to get you."

Jones said he tried to get a manager to stop them, but things eventually calmed down.

Later, Jones said customers were staring at him as he walked out to leave. In a video Jones took on his cellphone, the patrons can be heard chanting, "This is class war. Eat the rich and feed the poor."

The video sent to EchoplexMedia.com appears to start moments after that chant. That's when Jones started yelling.

"You're the one telling people to eat shit," he tells one man. "You ain't nothing boy."

He later shouted: "You guys are all pissed because you got extra chromosomes."

Regardless of who started the confrontation, some customers were simply trying to eat dinner. Instead, they watched a four-minute live Infowars episode.

"Can we just eat some fried [expletive] chicken?" one customer said in the video. "Can we do that?"
