I vividly recall reading about this incident. The girl attacked this frail older woman like a crazed gorrila.
Yes, the older woman asked her to mask up. Some would say she provoked the incident, but the girl’s reaction was way out of proportion.
There may be some settlement offered by the store in a “Go away and leave us alone!” kind of approach. A settlement, because the attack was so publicized on YouTube.
Any retail outlet would have some degree of limited liability when you are open to the public. Before the era of Masks, this kind of business had little reason to have roaming Security Guards.
Watch the video. It’s not quite as cut and dried as you’re presenting it.
Yes, the older woman was brutally attacked. People here want to blame the victim but IIRC she had cancer and had a compromised immune system.
I see people laughing and angry at the victim but no criticism of the assaulter with poor impulse control who violently attacks an elderly person and breaks her leg.
