MILLCREEK — Shelby Hamilton’s first thought as she lay bruised and bleeding on the ground of a Millcreek Starbucks was that she didn’t want to die this way. It would be a painful way to go.

It all began while Hamilton was working an early morning shift at the coffee shop near 3900 South and 900 East Thursday morning. Hamilton was standing behind the counter when a “haggard-looking” man entered, she said.

Instead of coming to the register to order, the man came behind the counter and asked Hamilton if she knew who he was. When she replied that she didn’t, he became angry and began beating her with his fists, she said.

from the article: “She backed up and tried to put distance between herself and the man, but once she reached the end of the counter, she was trapped — and he continued hitting her. Hamilton’s co-workers, however, remained frozen, unsure what to do, she said.“I started to think why no one was helping me, ‘cause he was only hitting me, and I felt kind of angry for a moment,” she said”.

Lucky for her the customer ignored starbucks anti-gun position.

If she's smart she'll hire a good attorney and sue starbucks for failing to provide adequate security for their employees.

She should have said, John Kerry.

It’s Starbucks. They would probably have fired her for fighting back against the poor, underprivileged assailant.

Fascinating how leftist policies end up destroying the very same “safe space” they created to begin with.

I do but these other workers don't.

So this Starbucks employee was beaten and none of her co workers helped her? What’s up with that?

I expect we’ll soon hear how the coworkers are survivors of this ordeal, although they are really only onlookers or bystanders.

Why women should not be in combat. Sure they can launch a planes missiles but hand to hand is another thing.

When it IS your life you fight or die. I choose life.

Conversely, if you walked into a Starbucks and for some reason were ‘outed’ as a Conservative, this same Chickee would spit in your coffee order. *Rolleyes*

P.S. I’m sorry she got hurt, and I’m glad there was a semi-Happy Ending due to a Good Guy with a Gun! :)
