Wouldn’t be surprised if a black man made the annoucement?

"Does this mean that "hate crime" laws are really a step toward criminalizing thought?"

'In the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, the government attempts to control not only the speech and actions, but also the thoughts of its subjects, labeling disapproved thoughts with the term thoughtcrime or, in Newspeak, "crimethink".'

>>An ex-employee with a chip on his shoulder could very easily find a unwatched microphone for the time it takes to do something like this.

It is extremely likely that you can page via a phone if you know the right extension to call. So all someone would have to do is know this and find an unwatched phone. In the store near me, that would be the one in Sporting Goods next to the ammo. Even if they have some, you can never find someone there to sell you any.

One of these days I will confess to my own misadventure with the 1MC mic when the silly Bosuns left it hanging on the portside quarterdeck...

We had a new guy sitting at the DC desk in Central get a fire call. It seems he was Hispanic. The announcement over the 1MC went something like this "Fuego de la alfa de la clase del fuego del fuego del fuego". He got part of it right. He rang the fire bell in English. LOL All we knew was which end of the ship.

As for Walmart? Their PA's are as annoying as the devil. Generally they're set about half again as loud as they need to be. I hear them real well & I'm now half deaf. The ones in the Super Stores with no ceilings are worse. One things for certain everyone in the store likely heard the guy loud and clear.

BFD, get over it, face reality, there will always be racist comments. If you can’t stand the heat in the kitchen you don’t belong there.

I get so friggin tired of hearing blacks taking the pathetic victim/race card.Get a life.

And, referring back to my original post about all Wal-Marts being set up pretty much the same, I would imagine the extension to call on the internal phone would be the same as well.

Unless there is some security camera footage somewhere, this guy got clean away.

"He said it as if he had a million dollars for us," the Washington Township resident said. "He wasn't nervous, [he was] really calm."

So, how was hate involved. Hate requires severe anxiety and rancor.

Try to imagine what would have happened if he had said this on the intercom: "Would all white people please leave the store now."

Um! Nothing?

This should be a case in conditioned responses.

Not saying it was right to happen but the reactions are out of all proportion. But then these people have been convinced over a lifetime that any mention of race is worse than murder or fire hence a 911 call.

Well, they checked all the cameras and could not find any white guy using the intercoms. Just minorities. Sure is a mystery. /yes that was

I would LOVE to hear a recording.

“Tinsley said her husband then called 911 to report what had happened. “

Cause obviously there was an emergency.

I’ve heard that most of those ‘cameras’ in Walmart are fake. Real cameras are too expensive.

SEIU is planting union thugs in jobs at Wal-Mart to disrupt stores in an attempt to get SEIU in control. Suggest Wal-Mart get some private detectives working after any such ‘incident’.

No, it would be construed as a slight against blacks.
