CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. -- No more Cracker Barrel restaurants ever for one Georgia man. The company has banned the man accused of beating a mother at one of its restaurants from all of its locations for life. Investigators in Clayton County said Troy West beat Tasha Hill at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Morrow while yelling racial slurs after he nearly hit her 7-year-old daughter while opening the restaurant's door. Cracker Barrel Bans Suspect From Restaurant For Life The beating is leading some state lawmakers to consider pushing for a Georgia Hate Crime Law. "It's past time, but there again, Georgia seems to be kind of at the end of coming on board with things that are of a progressive mode," said State Sen. Gail Buckner. The FBI is investigating if it will file federal hate crime charges in the case. West was charged with battery, disorderly conduct, and cruelty to children in the first degree. He is currently out on $5,000 bond. A hearing has been set for Sept. 24 in Clayton County.
Yeah adding a hate/thought crime charge to that would've made him think twice! God you statists are so f'ing STUPID!
Seriously, this guy sounds like one racist ahole.
“...state lawmakers to consider pushing for a Georgia Hate Crime Law...”
This guy gets banned for life and Georgia considers hate crimes laws. Yet, a pack of wild animals in Knoxville carjacks two UT students, rapes, mutilates, and kills them and THAT’S NOT a hate crime??????? I fail to see the equity here.
Unreal. What equality anymore.
...let’s not forget the school bus beating from a few days ago, with video included. someone got to the police officer after he made a comment and made him recant...

Be interesting to learn what set him off.
>>Troy West beat Tasha Hill at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Morrow while yelling racial slurs after he nearly hit her 7-year-old daughter while opening the restaurant’s door
So he beat the woman after nearly hitting her daughter with the door?
I think part of this story is missing and its the part that’s usually missing from these “white racist attacks innocent person of color” stories.
Good for them!
I’m not so sure it was all about race and not partly because the lady is an Army Reservist. The way libs have treated our armed service men and women makes me wonder if she was in uniform or not when he attacked her.
Anyone know?
the protected species cannot be racist...only the predatory white race can be racists....
very neat and tied up with a bow....these leftist newspeak idiots.
Its racist to even think such a thing is possible.
And who needs official Hate Crime laws, federal or otherwise, when Sears' HC Laws seem to do just fine in GA. /sarc
Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, and Katie Couric say I’m a racist, so I guess I am.
This story has me torn right down the middle. Being banned from Cracker Barrel, one of the most disgusting restaurants in the country, should be a good thing. But beating a woman for ? what? can not be tolerated. Why not jail time (the food might be better) and a fine (less money to spend at Cracker Barrel).
This guy should be hanged.
The witnesses should be charged with aiding and abetting a criminal...at least any men between the ages of 21 and 40.
Michael Vick goes to jail for torturing and beating animals. Another NFL star kills a pedestrian while drving drunk and gets off with probation. This guy deserves to be stoned for 5 minutes.
A Crime is a Crime is Crime...and yes it’s hateful.
Quite with more laws...it’s already a law to hurt someone.
Way to go Cracker Barrel..i love that restaurant.
LOL! When assholes like that say you’re wrong it is a solid indicator that you are 100% correct.
Isn’t “Cracker Barrel” a racist name for a restaurant?
