This Home Depot is in a high crime rate area—so while the cops were arresting this guy there probably were a variety of other minor crimes in progress (car break-ins in the parking lot, customer thefts from the store) that were ignored.
That would be as traumatic for the Home Depot employee as firing an AR-15. A slur like that must have sounded like a bazooka and left bruises.
Why couldn’t they just page the manager or security and ask the man to leave? He’s obviously a jerk.
But did he actually threaten the cashier? We need more info here.
Human nature and all societies are prone to swings in political-extremism, violence, collectivism and tyranny. The beauty of America was that besides clearly expressed notions on the natural rights of man, in simple, practical terms, we also had a limited and dispersed government. Tyranny/fascism/thought-control simply couldn’t muster enough power through the few channels of government to do much damage.
That’s no longer true. America’s empire has a huge bureaucratic apparatus increasingly regulating and corrupting every facet of daily life (and funded by printed money and debt). The framework is all in place, and the ideology is coming together. It will be no big thing to slip into a very nasty tyranny
1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment. None as important.
Now I can understand if those words led to fisticuffs which eventually led to some sort of police interdiction. Or if the offended party took the other guy to court for libel. (Though 19 states have criminal libel laws that haven’t been declared unconstitutional by the SCOTUS )
I certainly would have been arrested for all the names I called my buddies and vice versa.
I shop there only when I can find the material nowhere else.
I don't know if they are union, but they act like they're fresh off the picket line.
Now imagine a world were everyone ( even in CT which is now as bad if not worse than MA ) was open carry and each of these people were sporting 911’s on their hips. Ya think they would be addressing each or as Sir and Mam and perhaps behaving as if just attended a school for etiquette? You know how people behave in the South, Yes I said it, I love Vac-caying their were people have manners, their is nothing wrong with Southern Culture Mr Obama, Kim Jung Shrill and all your Minions! Back to reality....
Time was the ACLU would defend this guy. I do not see how it’s Constitutional to have any charge based on what one might have said, absent inciting a riot.
Why did the employee feel the need to discuss his sexual preferences with the customer?
No sane country for old men. Buncha thin skin ninny types. BTW it was gay on gay violence in Orlando with a muzzie twist. ISIS needs to have a rainbow flag edition.
Orwellian thought crime. Reeducation camp for him or an all records expunged disappearing.
If he were a Muslim, he would have been given a pass.
I blame the militant gays for this.
People are sick and tired of the entire gay agenda. In another time, the old man would have probably kept quite about his feelings regarding gays.
But now queers are so obnoxious in-your-face about it that normal people are starting to fight back and get into THEIR faces. This is a long awaited push back, and it’s going to get worse.
FWIW, the Orlando terrorist was a faggot.
Poor guy.
Imagine that phone call home to his wife:
“What? You got arrested? I sent you out for some light bulbs!”
arrested for saying faggot?!?!
I guess theoretically they could find out who said that on their computer and arrest them.
#### this guys. Trumps wins or it’s game on.
Jews could never have believed how bad things were gonna get so they stayed and hoped. Their fellow countrymen could NEVER try to erase them from the earth!
History repeats.
