They were evicted over $186,600 in back rent. Apparently the landlord came in and changed the locks at 3pm in the afternoon with customers still eating, ouch.

I'll re-iterate here what I posted in the comments there:

I have zero stake in this issue on either side, but I find it ridiculous that they would not let the patrons finish their meals. I have had to evict tenants in the past, and this eviction could (and should) have easily been executed a different way to obtain the same result.

They did those people a favor by not letting them finish their food.
