Travis Stoliker was quoted in a Lansing State Journal article on August 2, 2021, about restaurants raising funds to help other Lansing eateries that had been targeted. This article appears to be about the same period as the Saddleback BBQ hateful comments story — restaurants in Lansing were experiencing community backlash or other difficulties, and Saddleback organized fundraising efforts to help. Travis's quote 'It seems like restaurants are being targeted, and we don't know why' suggests there was a broader pattern of targeting of Lansing restaurants at that time.
