NEW YORK (PNN) - July 1, 2013 - A Belgian mother and her diplomat husband were thrown out of a posh country club after she breastfed at the table, according to a story published Sunday in the New York Post.
Tom Neijens, 36, the first secretary of the Belgium Mission to the United Nations, and his wife, Roseline Remans, 34, had stopped by the Metropolis Country Club in White Plains recently to eat lunch. Although they weren’t members, they were seated on the terrace along with other diners.
Remans reportedly began to inconspicuously breastfeed her daughter Luka at the table when a female supervisor approached and asked her to leave. “She said, ‘Please leave immediately, you are disturbing the members,'" said Neijens.
He intervened on his wife’s behalf, telling the supervisor that the feeding would not take long, but Remans was told to finish in the restroom.
“You don’t ask a person to have lunch in the restroom - why would you ask a baby to have lunch there?” said Neijens.
Shortly after the confrontation, the Greenburgh, New York, terrorist pig thug cop department arrived. The couple said that Detective Scott Harding acted psychotic and yelled, “Close the doors!” and other diners were asked to leave the terrace.
“He was walking (like) he was acting in a Western movie,” said Neijens. “He had one hand on his gun (and) one hand on his Taser.”
The terrorist pig thug cop reportedly told the couple that they were trespassing and that other patrons at the club believed them to be terrorists because of the black backpack the couple had in their possession. “In Sri Lanka, babies are used by terrorists,” the idiot terrorist pig thug cop said.
When Neijens revealed his State Department-issued ID, the terrorist pig thug cop softened. “You have to understand, this club has had terrorism threats in the past,” he told the diplomat.
The family was reportedly asked to leave through a back door. A few days later, Neijens emailed the club, demanding an apology from Metropolis general manager Tracy Fraus and assistant general manager Audra Vaccari.
“I am deeply worried about your staff if they cannot distinguish between a European couple looking for a quiet place to breastfeed a baby and suicide terrorists carrying a backpack,” Neijens wrote.
As for detective Scott Harding, he may be in the running for the most unintelligent detective on the planet - and that’s really saying something!
