A mini-mart clerk in Louisiana was fired after a video showed her throwing a bucket of water on a homeless person sitting outside the store in frigid temperatures.

The incident took place Monday at the Triple S Food Mart in Baton Rouge. Temperatures were around 26 degrees that day as a severe Arctic blast swept the U.S.

Kasey Young, the 44-year-old clerk, uploaded the clip of herself throwing a bucket of water on the homeless person sitting in the parking lot. She can be heard yelling, “Move! Not telling y’all again. Move it!.”

Ms. Young then complains about a mess that a group of people made in the store as she walks back inside

“Until they move to your nice suburb. And they will.”

My near suburb is already diverse with Hispanics and blacks. The Hispanics are OK, and the blacks are Caribbean derived, so mostly OK for now. But then Yugoslavia was OK and peaceful, until the inter-ethnic fighting began.

Such bums do have a tendency to scare off legitimate customers. One store owner found that by playing classical music at the door of his business kept the teen loiterers away.

My friend ran a popular downtown restaurant where a homeless guy would harass every patron coming in and out.

If someone gave him $$, he would go into theatrics. If someone didn’t, they got an F-bomb.

My friend, being a gentle sort, tried to negotiate with him. Offer him meals if he would go away and come back at closing, etc... I think the homeless guy saw it as a sort of game or test of his “rights.”

My friend eventually got some cop-friends involved, who convinced the homeless guy to hang out elsewhere.

Guess he wasn’t there for the free baths for the homeless program?

Standard behavior in this culture. Just be glad it wasn’t bullets.

Black folks in general and black females particularly cannot control their emotions. They have very, very short fuses.

“She should have invited him to come inside and warm up instead.”

No. I don’t agree with dousing someone with water in the winter, but, inviting him would not be wise.

Word would get around and the restaurant would become “a place to get warm” for all the local bums. And panhandle. And do drugs.

That is a very common tactic at 7/11 stores here I’m Long Beach, CA.

I don’t think escalating to lethal force was warranted.

Dumping a bucket of water on someone in 26 degree weather is attempted murder.

Well we obviously know who did it is black, because had a white person done this, it would be the Top Story on every news channel.

Because it’s a homeless guy sitting outside in below-freezing weather, now in wet clothes. He probably doesn’t have a dry change of clothes or a place to warm up. He’s still a human being.

If he survived.

Jesus said “… when I was thirsty you gave Me to drink…”
And something about a coat when cold?
But seriously, the vagrants hanging out at store entrances is a big problem.
