\nThe restaurant signage went up on Tuesday in Everett, Washington: The Soup Nazi Kitchen, a reference to the famous episode of \u201cSeinfeld\u201d that features the angry owner of a soup eatery.<\/span><\/p>\n

By Wednesday afternoon, the unopened store front was riddled with pellet bullet holes and spray paint, according to the Everett Herald Business Journal. And owner Andrew Ho, who has a history of controversial opinions, had heard complaints from the small city\u2019s local Jewish community. So he removed \u201cNazi\u201d from the sign.<\/span><\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s logo featured a cartoonish woman looking angry and holding a whip.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt really diminishes and makes light of the horrors of the Holocaust,\u201d Rabbi Rachel Kort of Everett\u2019s Temple Beth Or told the Herald Business Journal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Anti-Defamation League\u2019s Pacific Northwest regional director, Miri Cypers, also objected to the name, saying it dredged up painful memories of Nazis starving Jews in death camps. Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin lamented that she could not require the restaurant to change its name.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe City of Everett is a Safe City and strives to be inclusive and welcoming for all residents and visitors,\u201d Franklin wrote in a social media post on Wednesday. \u201cUnfortunately, recent US Supreme Court decisions have greatly restricted the City\u2019s authority to regulate the wording of signs and largely prohibits the City from banning signs based on the hateful or offensive wording in that sign.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ho said he was jokingly referred to as the \u201cjuice Nazi\u201d by customers at his previous eatery, the Alive Juice Bar in the northern outskirts of Seattle. He was hoping to play off that nickname and had already printed shirts with the Soup Nazi name on them \u2014 which he will not sell, the Herald Business Journal reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh his blog, Ho added that he wanted to be provocative and respond to \u201cthe lockdown and social distancing measures\u201d imposed during the COVID pandemic.<\/span>
\nHe also wrote:<\/span><\/p>\n

– \u201cWhite supremacy is not on the rise. Nationalism \u2014 wrongly conflated with White supremacy \u2014 everywhere is on the rise, which is a reasonable response to globalism, the rule of transnational corporations with the US as its private security force.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ho has written several other inflammatory blog posts, including a recent one disparaging Dr. Anthony Fauci, and self-published books with titles such as \u201cHow to Cook Like a Racist\u201d and \u201cHow to look f***able while pregnant.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
