If this was a way to get a rapper some promotion and a deal, the dude that got beat should get paid every dam cent both of these a-holes make for the rest of their lives...

I am stunned (and gratified) that Macy’s stood up for the truth here.

Because it justifies the liberal bully’s violence.

So what? The victim was no doubt guilty of THINKING it!

If the Macy’s employee is a Democrat, I can imagine him using the N word.. Leftists feel they are priviledged to do that. He probably thought he was out of earshot.. And why was he grovelling and saying he was sorry? Sorry for what??

Many years ago a relative of mine wrote a major state agency about a complaint they had. This relative didn’t have a racial bone in their body but they used the word “niggardly” in their letter. The person who received the letter at the state agency went crazy and called my relative and cussed them out. They used the words racist, cracker and other things. My relative had a habit of keeping a recorder on their desk and recorded most of the diatribe. The story ends with the head of the state agency writing a very long letter to my relative apologizing.

It doesn’t matter; it could have been true.

This has been going on forever.

30 years ago a relative worked for a short while for the public defenders office for a fairly large dem controlled city.

When negroes were arrested for a crime of violence against a White person they were coached to say "He / she called me a nigger."

One radical black or a sjw on the jury and you have a mistrial.

Sucks for him; but if he even tried to defend himself one bit while on the job; he would have gotten fired for sure.

He must really need the job. He’s just very lucky Macy’s obviously has the entire sales floor surveilled and could immediately state that it didn’t happen.

I take that to mean that it *definitely* didn’t happen, as almost all employers at this point would throw any employee under the bus in this situation, justified or not.

Pretty sure if this guy was a “floor walker” as you are theorizing, he wouldn’t have been caught off guard, number 1. Number 2, he might’ve done a better job defending himself.

One of them said the brother just snapped when it happened, and if that’s true, where’s the phone that the clerk was supposedly using? It’s not seen anywhere in the video that was posted, I’d think with the first blow, the phone would be seen flying through the air. Or was it a store phone perhaps?

If it was a personal cell phone, that’s a pretty big no-no for a clerk, right there, yet Macy’s is taking his side saying it was unprovoked. They likely would’ve fired the guy if their video showed him using a cell phone.

You and I must have similar retail experience. No way Macy’s would say this was unprovoked if the employee had done anything wrong in even the slightest way. No knock on retail managers, that’s just how they do things.

Adding to my ‘idea’ it is or was a ‘floor walker’ he may have been talking into an intercom device and was ‘sent’ to the area where two of ‘those guys’ were seemingly loitering.
(hadn’t heard of the phone till reading the brothers account)

And today, who knows what people are told to do when confronting ‘problems’...

Would think a ‘high end’ store in a big city would have some kind of interior surveillance, if for nothing else to back themselves up when situations like this arise.

My local Walmart - in a town not known for much ‘criminal activity’ has the capability to track you from your car and throughout the store once the ‘perp’ is ID.

Recently had a guy try to pass a 100 dollar bill and within minutes they had him tracked through the store and had his ‘accomplices’ (at least they all got out of the same car) spotted.

And this from a company that sorta ‘turns it head’ in the right circumstance when it comes to shoplifting etc...

*Would think a ‘high end’ store in a big city would have some kind of interior surveillance, if for nothing else to back themselves up when situations like this arise.*

You would be correct. Almost every square foot of retail stores are watched by “eyes in the sky” no matter whether it’s low end or not. If it’s a national chain, or even large regional chain, they have the money. You should see the systems. They are impressive to someone who doesn’t think about that kind of thing, someone like me, until I worked retail and saw it first-hand. It was comforting to know, that every move you made was being watched. I’ve seen so many shoplifters you lose count. I understand what you mean about “ turning their heads”. They do in certain circumstances. It happens for various reasons that I won’t disclose here.
