A shocking viral video shows a group of irate women beating up an Indiana Walmart employee as her co-workers desperately try to break up the mayhem. The disturbing footage, filmed on Friday at an Indianapolis Walmart and posted to Facebook by witness Kind Butler, shows a woman in black restraining the female employee as two other women attack her at the checkout aisle. As the employee is being held down, a woman in a pink shirt is seen savagely raining punches down on the victim, as another suspect starts to viciously stomp on her.

Comments:

This time the "teens" were 0bama's "daughters."

A few thoughts. 1) it was B on B. So there’s that. 2) Lots of mens [sic] standing around and NOT breaking it up. (Because it was Community womens [sic] beating up EACH OTHER? Ot, they were scared to tangle with the large perps?) 3) this reinforces my Rule #3: whenever I see 3+ Community womens together, I leave. I don’t care what I’m buying. You can NEVER know what look, mannerism, word, or action will be interpreted as “disrespectful” and trigger mayhem. 4) their language is as coarse as they are. 5) there is no turning back their culture. Too many kids raised without fathers and consequences. It will just get worse and worse. Sad. There are some wonderful Black people. But they’re overshadowed by the few and strong.

Funny, they described one womans shirt as black but not the woman. Oh well, its just another chimpout from obese ghetto trash who would provide more value to the world as fertilizer. All those classes I had to go through in my working years telling me how wonderful those people were. Glad I didnt believe it.

Amen, #6. At times I watch Facebook/watch and see the videos of blacks stealing from Target, Walmart, stores in malls. One recently showed a young black, had a baby and a friend with her. She was caught stealing, LEOs found $12,000 worth of stolen goods in her trunk. She was moaning and crying because she was in cuffs and couldn't take her baby. Mother had to come for baby. Another had stolen two bottles of $500/bottle perfume from a store at a mall. She noticed she was being watched and she said she left it 'in the store.' They all say they didn't steal anything. None of them carry identification. They have bags of stolen items with no receipts because 'they were returning the items and the receipt was lost.' I feel sorry for anyone who has to put up with these low lifes.

I used to occasionally shop at Walmart up until a few years ago. There's one a few miles from my house. I've only ventured into it once. I was shocked at how messy it was - merchandise scattered on the floors, open boxes on the shelves, dirty floors, and ferals all over the place. Much as I despise Target management and their surrender to the mentally-ill "transgender" crowd, when I'm looking for things I can't get except at a big box store, Target is where I go.

FTA: “It was instantly on site,” Butler, who shops at the Walmart almost daily, told Fox 59. “There wasn’t any questioning, no anything. Just as soon as they saw the girl, the whole family came over and started beating her up.” Butler, however, shared that before the brawl broke out, he overheard relatives of an alleged rape victim searching for someone they believed was connected to the assault. The victim of the attack, Tikerra Hicks, said that prior to being attacked at work, she had been getting calls about how her friend allegedly raped another friend.

An addition to #10. I just saw one where a woman took a cart with $1,000 of groceries past the point of sale. Asked for receipt, she said it is in phone. Show it to me. Can't my phone is dead. They have all the answers.

Such a predisposition to violence is genetic. This race will be forever doomed, not because of outside influences but because that is who they ARE. Usually female, usually fat, these are adult people who are hindered by a childlike mentality. The Democrats effort to destroy the black family have succeded all too well. You can't enjoy a walk in the park, a evening out, a music festival, even shopping for lumber & sheetrock at Home Depot, without some black chimping out over some imagined slight of 'disrespect'. And if you catch them in the act of stealing they blame YOU. They are literally their own worst enemy.

There were many who could be considered the worst in this video. Imo, the absolute worst one was the woman who had to punch the Wal-Mart worker a couple of times while still holding her daughter. Wow! Parenting at it's finest! Showing that child how to do it!

Now they ALL have felonies, can be fired from any jobs they hold, denied hiring for any future employment, lose all Govt benefits, spend time in Jail/prison....but likely won't face any of those consequences. Probably won't even be banned from that store. I'm guessing they all also have "mans and Childrens" that behave much the same.

If blacks want respect, demand it, even, then they must police their own. Where are the black leaders, particularly, to call out such bad behavior? Brawling, obese black women do nothing but affirm the stereotype of their race. Is it any surprise that whites cross the street to avoid blacks?

Administering 'justice'. Found guilty purely through association. The person making the accusation could be lying through their teeth. Would never surprise me the accuser made the accusation out of jealousy. I can't find a term that adequately defines the behavior. These people are hateful, violent, and murderous. Amazing so many are black. I call them uncivilized, but the term is lacking. Call them savage or animals, but most primitive societies and animals behave better than this. Call them criminals. They probably all have criminal records. There may be more white criminals than black criminals due to sheer numbers, but percentagewise, blacks have the highest percentage. Btw, stay away from Walmart. Large crowds. Large crowds mean rubbing elbows with more people that behave like this.

The most destructive inferno in Los Angeles history, which charred a devastating path through Pacific Palisades and Malibu in early January, was a rekindling fire that an Uber driver intentionally set days earlier near a popular hiking area, federal investigators alleged. Authorities on Wednesday also announced the arrest of 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht, who is suspected of setting the initial fire on New Year’s Eve. Rinderknecht, of Florida, was charged with maliciously starting what eventually became the Palisades fire. Among the evidence that was collected from his digital devices was an image he generated on ChatGPT depicting a burning city, said U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.

A federal appeals court on Wednesday lifted a judge’s order blocking President Trump from federalizing Oregon National Guard Troops. On Saturday, Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, blocked President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland. Judge Immergut issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and blasted President Trump’s decision to deploy troops. The TRO will expire on October 18. The judge warned that Trump’s justification to deploy troops to Portland may send the country into a constitutional crisis. On Sunday, President Trump called up hundreds of California National Guard Troops to Portland to circumvent the judge’s order blocking Oregon National Guard Troop deployment.

Tours at the Capitol have come to a standstill. The House is keeping its doors closed, while the Senate is stuck in a loop of failed votes on a rejected plan to reopen the government. President Donald Trump is threatening to mass fire federal workers and refuse back pay for the rest.
