Cody Goodnight, photographed Thursday, was hit in the head with a metal club by a clerk who mistook his silence for disrespect. Goodnight is deaf. (Star-Telegram/Khampha Bouaphanh)
Damn, you Texans are a rough sort...
What next, he gets prosecuted for his crime and all the race pimps show up to defend him? John Mellonhead writes a song about racist oppression?
Why don't blacks who falsely play the race card ever get prosecuted for it?
GUILTY!!!!
Of assault and destroying evidence it seems.
Sounds like Young is pretty crafty - automatically playing the race card and destroying the evidence.
He needs to go away for a while so he can think.
I hope it’s assault with a deadly weapon. And since the perp brought up race himself, how about a racially motivated attack as well.
He needs to work on his Customer Service skills.
This is not good. But good is what a “Judge” is going to do to this clown.
Sensitivity training. 100 days community service at a deaf school. Then, for good measure, another 100 days at the school for the blind and another 100 days at the seeing eye dog training facility shoveling poo. Then some monetary damages, then a handwritten apology, etc.
Before it’s over this clerk will be offering up one of his own ears!
What was he doing with a crowbar at the cash register? They (the store management) apparently approved. I go to family dollar occasionally to buy toiletries and cleaning supplies but I have never found crowbars for sale
FREE THE FORT WORTH ONE! DOWN WITH THE MAN!
Who keeps a crowbar at a register? I’ve never seen the cashiers at Wal-Mart with a crowbar—of course, I’ve never dissed one either.
No more Mr. Goodwrench!

I notice this cultural attribute regularly among minorities. “Aint nobody gonna diss me!!!” Last week at a cross country meet in a public park we had parents stationed to temporarily stop walkers from walking directly in front of finishing runners. Most people politely waited until there were no runners in sight. Not so a couple of empowered minority ladies who argued, fought and strutted their way in front of our runners, forcing the runners to go around them.
This reminds me of something that happened to me in a restaurant bathroom.
I went in to change the baby’s diaper. While I was in the handicap stall where the changing table was, someone came in and tried to get into the stall. They made some sort of sound and went into another stall.
Well the baby was really messy, and I needed to wash my hands before I put her clothes back on, so I grabbed her up with my arms, trying not to use my hands and headed to the sink, leaving the clothes temporarily on the changing table.
While I was at the sink, and just as I was heading back to the stall, I see the person that had come in leave her stall and make a beeline toward the stall I was in. She must have felt the vibration of my door shutting when I left and really wanted to get into that stall.
I was saying, “Excuse me, Excuse me, I need to get back into the stall to get my baby’s clothes”, but she didn’t acknowledge me. (That’s when I grabbed a plunger and whacked her over the head:) Then it suddenly dawned on me with how she was feeling around to get into the stall that she was not only deaf but blind.
I hated to do it but I had to maneuver past her and get my baby’s clothes out before she could get in there. She made some kind of noise when I did this.
Anyway, it was a good thing I did get my baby’s clothes out of there, because I went back to the table, within eyesight of the bathrooms’ main door and she didn’t come out for about 20 minutes.
Ricky probably mistook Cody’s ASL for the wrong gang sign.
I sense idiot Young will feel the wrath of a few Tarrant County prisoners for a few days to then be discharged on probation with a large bill for restitution to the victim.
BS on both counts. ...but not surprising that Young would play the race card when backed into a corner -- that's what he's been taught to do by the likes of Sharpton and Jackson.
