A Crushed Italian Heart

It pains my little Italian heart to say that I will no longer be purchasing or eating anything that comes from Rocco's Bakery in New Haven, CT. That includes all of their delicious cannolis, sweet horns, and éclairs. As it turns out, the owners of Rocco's, though I believed them to be delightful people, are actually scum. My news sources inform me that they have been employing illegal immigrants from Ecuador for the past ten or so years. I have absolutely no issue with them employing the Ecuadorian family but find HUGE issue with the treatment that they were subjecting them too. Apparently, Rocco's owners were physically, verbally, and sexually abusing the family. Numerous times they threatened to deport the family if the women in the family did not agree to sexual intercourse. I am ridiculously disgusted by you and will no longer be eating any of your delicious pastries, Antonio & Anna DiBenedetto. From now on, it's Libby's, Lucibello's or nothing!
