The guy thinks it’s OK to beat up a rude customer with a crowbar. What more do you need to know??
Whoa! Since when is it important or necessary to point out that the bitchy employees are white? Why the white-hatin’?
20 years is excessive? It’s not like crowbar assault is like getting a kiss from a nerf bat.
Also, that’s some customer service right there. :eek: :dubious:
It’s assholish behavior of the first order either way, no question. I just think it goes to the question of punishment and long-term rehabilitation. It’s one thing to beat up someone who has slighted you, but I just wonder if he has the self-awareness and humility to feel regret when he found out that the slight never actually happened.
It’s not just beating up someone. It’s Assault ith a Deadly Weapon. And all because the clerk thought someone wasn’t showing him the proper respect?! Which brings up another question: what does he think the proper respect should be for a discount store clerk? I mean, besides the normal courtesy one shows to another person.
The clerk is obviously dangerous and needs to be removed from society. If luck had landed his crowbar a quarter-inch one side or the other, a man would be dead.
Oh, I dunno. I guess I figured if I didn’t hate on ‘em for being white, it’d be assumed I was hatin’ on blacks or other minorities. I wanted to point out it appears IMHE, employees of Family Dollar are all trailer park ghetto trash scum.
Oops, I probably just insulted someone else, didn’t I?
You really ought to make up your mind: Trailer park or ghetto? Trash or scum? You’ve got four possible combinations here, me bucko – which will it be?
I’d go with “trailer park trash”, but then I’m a sucker for alliteration.
They are having ice water in hell tonight because I agree with Monty about this.
The fact that there are more and more people like this clerk out in the world today is one of the reasons I have my CC permit.
Too bad he did not try that crowbar stunt on an off duty State Trooper…
Interesting how you twist it around to your position. Me, I think this incident demonstrates why most people shouldn’t be allowed to own firearms.
Well, I disagree with both of you, I think this demonstrates why people shouldn’t be allowed to breed without passing lengthy written and practical exams on How Not To Raise An AssHat.
Concealed Carry permits, meh. Competent Conceiver permits, rock on.
Now, THAT’S a cause I can get behind!
When do I get to vote for this? I’m there!
A-FUCKING-men!
And extensive psych examinations, too.
And, really, if that POS goes to prison for 20 years for this, society won’t be the poorer. Maybe *there * someone’ll give him the “respect” he feels he deserves. With…well, y’all aleady know.
Or crowbars…wait! That doesn’t make sense.
This reminds me of something from my old job. A customer walked in. Someone called out a greeting. She just walked by. The following conversation ensued:
Salesperson #1: Did you see how that lady just walked by.
Salesperson #2: That was so rude. I hate when people do that.
Salesperson #1: Yeah. Like they were deaf or something.
Salesperson #3: What if she really was deaf?
Salesperson #1: Well, then we’re gonna feel like a couple of real assholes!
Sure enough, she turned out to be deaf, and we all had a good laugh at #1 and #2. 
The Carmel Crips?
And in the clerk’s defense: The customer was deaf, not mute.
teals & trots
Never happen. Spreading stupid spooge is a fundamental right, and a pile of pinheads would rally against any efforts to reduce the population of dim bulbs.
I actually had to rework the OP a couple of times. My first draft was to have the link with the text “Words fail me.” The second draft was “I don’t know what to say.”
I’m glad I resisted the urge to go with either of those!
On the other hand, most people think they’re above average, so they may well support reproductive limits on the below-average people. It’s like the widespread support (or non-opposition) to eliminating estate tax and other tax cuts for the rich - they seems to think they’ll eventually get rich enough to benefit from them.
