I'd forgotten about that. In Syracuse it lead to a riot in the parking lot. I 
somehow remember it may have also involved some other group also, Indian 
(from India not Native American) or some Oriental group, Of course it was 
seasoned by alcohol since it was at 3am. It lead to enough bad press that 
particular Denny's was closed.
