HATE Store clerk fired for throwing water on a homeless person in freezing weather

Ractivist

Pride comes before the fall.....Pride month ended.
Should of used a sixteen ounce red solo cup to the face. The effect would of been similar, but the damages minimized. If the first one didn't work, then try another one.....sooner or later, sooner if the homeless person has sense, this person would move off...

"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!.”"

If you are going to confront thieving "joggers" or drive away the bums.... stay off camera!

I will never understand the need to self incriminate....

All being equal.... she could have probably gotten a lot more cooperation with a free cup of coffee.... most quickie marts dump it down the drain every couple of hours anyway.

Wouldn't throwing a bucket of water on anyone even in warmer weather be assault? Maybe if it was 90+º they'd appreciate it, but even 70º would be miserable on a winter night with no way to get dry. At freezing temps an attempted murder charge might be plausible.

Many years ago, a man with serious mental health issues, froze to death during a cold snap. There were shelters available, but his mental condition would not allow him to seek shelter. So sad. Way too many of the homeless suffer from mental health issues making some too vulnerable to seek help and some too are dangerous to be helped by a layperson. How are we to know the difference?

I wish the real issue of vagrants pushing people and businesses to the breaking point would also be addressed.
Entirely too much cream to skim, and virtue signaling social credits to accumulate in the current Homeless-Industrial-Complex model to even see the faintest hope that real solutions- u know, the kind that actually divorce the toxic feelz from the analysis, accurately understand the issues, and actually serve to improve, if not fix entirely, the problem.

Written by someone who has never been homeless. I've been homeless through no fault of my own, it happens and it can happen to any one of us at any given time.
Granted many of us have become homeless for periods through no fault of our own. But we are, of course, the barest sliver of homeless population, and I'm willing to bet my bottom dollar we're not represented in the pool generating the chronic nusience complaints: we're not going to be sitting, or s^ittin, in front of other peoples property, drunk/drugged and disorderly, theiving, begging, intimidating etc etc etc.

Squatting is a misdemeanor at best. Assault and battery on a person seated on pavement outside of a business and not posing a threat or committing any other crime, particularly when the battery could result in the death or injury of a person, is a felony.

She gets paid to do her job, but battery is not her job. The homeless guy should sue the living bejesus out of the business. Firing her is not enough either. She needs to face charges for battery at minimum.

You don't like it? Start electing people who support law enforcement and get ready to pay higher taxes for a place to put these people.

Anyone can be homeless in one day.

Makes me think of:

Then He shall answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, in so far as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' And these shall go away into everlasting punishment,

And he would have been back the next day - with his friends.

Sounds like you think elections aren't rigged.

I can still remember when I did - silly me.

I am a huge fan of ask, tell, make in that order..... the owner obviously didn't have her back. Not much to gain by going to war on his behalf, might as well try to get out off the situation with minimal effort... nobody would care about the wet bum if she had used her brain and turned off the camera! Like I tell my boys, you can do almost anything you want as long as you are discreet!

Law suit. Homeless man wins, imo. It was an assult by an employee of a big box store with plenty of $$$.
