It was an ordinary night, August 26, at the Exxon Tiger Mart at South Polk Street and Interstate 20 in Dallas.
C.J. Thomas, the store's clerk, was behind the counter when a rush of customers came through the door at 10:12 p.m.
"There was more coming in than going out," Thomas said. "Once they realized how many were in there, one of the students started throwing stuff and screamed out. Everything after that went crazy."
Store surveillance cameras from different angles show bottles being thrown.
Seconds later, Thomas ran to the front door. He tried to close it, but he couldn't hold back the crowd.
Some of them grabbed drinks, chips, and other items and began pushing their way out. Thomas said he tried to stop some people from stealing.
"In the process of them walking out, tried to stop a student with a lot of things in his hands and when I tried to do that, he shoved me out into the parking lot and swung at me," Thomas said.
Thomas then says several men then pulled him to the ground and started kicking and punching him.
"I was terrified," he said. "At first, I thought I would be able to get back into the store, and once they got me on the ground, I thought they were going to kill me."
Thomas suffered cuts on his nose, eyes and lip. He still has a bruised rib and bicep. He told us his injuries would have been worse if two girls hadn't stepped in.
"I'm very grateful for that," said Thomas. "If it wasn't for them, I could have lost my life."
Thomas and his family met with Dallas police Wednesday afternoon. Officers are now investigating the incident as an aggravated robbery assault. Thomas hopes this video motivates witnesses to come forward.
"If you all have any idea who did this, please put their names out there, 'cause if they don't get caught, they are going to do it again," Thomas said.
If you have any information on this case, call the Dallas Police Department.
It seems that this is becoming almost a daily occurence. Maybe a few thug fatalites might adjust this picture.
take these monkeys OUT....
is that their new name now ? young?
I thought they wanted to be called African American?
Sounds like a job for Mr. Mossberg 500 tactical. Guarandangteed to clear the Yutes out of a convenience store in 30 seconds or less.
If he carries and gets caught 7-11 will fire him instantly.
Most c store employees can’t even carry a swiss army knife.
“Young” is often used when the CommiePress tries to under-report, obfuscate and protect “persons of color”.
Holder’s people
Yes, a gun and it would help if they had a remote operated locking mechanism if such a thing exists and if it doesn’t someone needs to invent one.
Hopefully feet first.
Sharpton would be on any store owner that detained any “youth of color” as a deterrent.
They’d be slapped with an “illegal imprisonment” charge faster than you could say “that’s racist”.
I still say when some of these little savages take a dirt bed this will continue. The current in-justice department will NOT make these hate crimes, hell they won’t even make it a hate crime if a black KILLS a white but it’s a hate crime the other way around in a New York minute. I hope the next AG has a pair and will go back and revisit all this crap we’ve had to put up with and it ain’t just flash mobs like this that need to be re-investigated.
Amish youth right?
Yea, my Irish ass, aint a white face in the crowd, shoot the a couple of these jackles and see this bullshit stop in its tracks.
I know, but I'd rather be fired than dead.
How did he know they were students? Were they carrying slide-rules or wearing varsity sweaters? Gee, I think I detect some sort of anti-studential profiling. What pops into your mind when you see these felons- students?
They weren’t Black but simply members of Obama’s new Empowerment and Economic Justice Diversity Squad!
Dare we say "Take these sons of bitches OUT"?
Valuable intel. Gives guidance on how to bait the cages.
So if you want to declare war on your fellow American Citizens, be prepared to pay the price of anarchy and don't come begging to your Uncle Sammy for leniency.
P.S. The duration merely means you could die of old age while still in jail. Think about it. Three hots and a cot might be better than what you have now, but 'man does not live by bread alone.'
A question, would you want to be locked in the same room with these monkey's, and the know the constabulary is on the way?
Did the race war start yet?
