MOUNT PLEASANT — A mother and daughter from Milwaukee were arrested Saturday after one of them allegedly pepper sprayed multiple employees on April 29 at Potbelly Sandwich Shop, 5910 Washington Ave.

Tamia L. Westbrook, 18, and Laquanda D. Westbrook, 37, both could face three counts of felony intentional use of an Oleoresin device to cause bodily harm, in addition to misdemeanor charges for disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and three counts of battery.(snip)

On the day of the incident, Potbelly General Manager Sara Olson told The Journal Times that a woman (later identified as Laquanda Westbrook) became “a little upset” after her sandwich was made wrong. Upon seeing this, another woman (later identified as Tamia Westbrook) entered the restaurant and pepper sprayed workers and food.

Both women then left the restaurant before police arrived. The restaurant was forced to close for the day because food had been contaminated and several employees had to seek medical attention.

The Mount Pleasant Police Department reported that one employee was sprayed “directly in the face.”

I’m surprised the employees are still alive after the worst offense possible (her sandwich was made wrong.)

Well, before we jump to any conclusions here. What did they do wrong? Put mayonnaise on it?

To bad it was not but had he blasted both POS into the next life, he would be harassed forever and probably put in the pokey to boot. This will get bargained down to simple assault, time served. This is why there are crimes like this, no actual punitive action.

Went looking for a little more info, and found this: apparently the mom used her credit card at another Potbelly restaurant where she went after the pepper spray attack. She also bragged about the incident at the second Potbelly.

We are turning out many people like this because the progressive nanny state has made it a mission to destroy our culture. Manners and politeness are at an all time low. Everything now is “in your face”.

Apart from that there is a difference in black culture that seems to lend itself to escalating violence rather than negotiating disputes by talking or arguing. I don’t know if it is culture shared by poor people of all races, or if it is something that is just more prevalent in black and hispanic cultures. They seem to escalate things into fisticuffs and violence a lot faster than white or asian people.

Don’t get me wrong. Their are plenty of white people with bad tempers or chips on their shoulders who do the same. Maybe black people don’t do it more than whites but maybe the ones who do are just louder about it so it appears to be more.

Manners and politeness are now among all races, so that is a purely American cultural break down. That is not unique ot any race.

The first time I ever heard the term “Culture War” was from Charleston Heston when he was NRA president, so that was 20 or more years ago. He was right. We are in a very dangerous, high-states culture war for the soul of America. It is for all the marbles. So far, we are badly losing the culture war. The leftists and the forces of evil are winning by a mile.

I have no clue how we reverse this course or if it is even possible. The first thing I would do is eliminate the US Department of Education and turn education back over to local government, but the real source of the accelerating cultural decline is just bad paranting and low expectations from society/peer groups.

Public education, systematic destruction of the family, no meaningful penalties for crimes...

Is there any hope for some people? Have they ever had a job where they have to deal with customers?

I’m sure they were just turning their lives around, getting ready to start college in the fall, swearing off drugs and alcohol, and were determined to stop the ho’in.

Very sad story. First time I’ve heard it.

I wonder when it will become racist to use people’s names in stories.
