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
I see the racial angle now.
FREE THE FORT WORTH ONE! DOWN WITH THE MAN!
Unless in the military, I don’t know of any 20 year old that deserves respect. What has a 20 year old working as a cashier done to earn respect?.....
He has a BIG crowbar....
“Young Ricky felt “dissed”.”
Well, hell, he should have shot the guy, not hit him with a crowbar.
How will Ricky ever hold his head up in public again? /s
The article purposely doesn't state Young's race but that sentence tells us what we want to know.
White people always act out when Blacks seem to disrespect them. /sarcasm
What a cowardly act to blindside the guy with a crowbar.
LOL
Jesse and Al will be on this and it will soon be known to all that the deaf guy is the assailant and the cashier is the victim.
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 think this “clerk” dissed himself far more than anyone else could diss him.

Not only was he “dissed” - he thought he heard the deaf man mutter “something racial”.
This clearly calls for a killing blow to the head with a crowbar.
Time to stop replacing the fathers with government money in a certain culture’s homes, doncha think?
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.
Hm. I find it helpful to assume that everybody is worthy of respect, unless they do something to prove otherwise.
Saves me the effort of having to decide, and I'm rarely disappointed. Interesting how that works....
That said, Mr. Young is probably not one of those who would justify my approach. In fact, I suspect he's not unknown among the local constabulary....
Ain't it great...they're forced to hire these guys.
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.
I don't see Family Dollar paying enough to be choosy about employees.
Ricky probably mistook Cody’s ASL for the wrong gang sign.
You handled a sticky situation really well, except of course the beating with the plunger. ;)
