I live in Carmel and went to school with his kids:
Some time back locally here there was a drunk Vietnamese jerk kicking his 7-months pregnant wife in the tummy for no reason in a store:
The butcher (whose wife was also 7-months preggo by some coincidence) asked him to stop many times, but drunk VC simply continued as before; the butcher came round the meat fridge and punched him out, thereby stopping the needless altercation.
The cop who responded confirmed via video the facts of the case and arrested the nasty, drunk VC.
Well WHAT do you think Safeway did to the butcher hero? SAFEWAY FIRED HIM....!
I heard about it on the radio at 2 am locally here and I was so mad I couldn’t go back to sleep —I felt like the firing had happened to me. It sounded like the story was not going to get heavy coverage.
Well Clint’s buddy is a PhD in physics and also a local RADIO HOST. So whaddya think I did? I called up the host Dr. Bill Wattenberg (who is pretty headstrong and doesn’t take any guff) and I related EVERYTHING, getting this Dr. Bill guy (Clint’s buddy) really good and mad.
Well WHO do ya think happened to be listening just then, locally, here? Huh? YUP...!
This is NOT news, but in fact Clint called up Safeway and gave them a good talking-to and GUESS WHAT?
Yeah, that fired butcher got his job BACK —Clint MADE HIS DAY.
Standing up for the little guy? THAT IS CLINT EASTWOOD, ALL CLASS.
And what I just told you is secret, but if you wanna check it out it was the Safeway in Del Rey Oaks about 3 months ago.
Is that cool or what!? Thanks for sharing this. And thanks for getting involved.
