How is a company with probably 500,000 workers going to ensure that it never hires anyone who likes to play practical jokes?

They are still 100% responsible for who they hire.
Don't like it? Don't open a business.

I understand that. But all they can do is fire him. Which they will. So there's no point in "demanding answers".

So by your logic, if an employee of Walmart comes in and wacks 30 people, the CEOs should go to jail as well? Crimmal and Civil are separate...and protected as such under most state laws. This of course is upheld if the buisness had no prior knowledge of a possible crime beforehand.

I don't see the big deal with this. Black people will get offended at anything and everything. Tough shit IMO. Suck it up, it has nothing to do with you personally.

And I wouldn't even rate this as a crime. There is a freedom of speech that if we didn't chew and spit out already, would still be in play.

Besides, next week all the black people who are going to "boycott" the Walmarts will have their asses back in Walmart lines. I'll bet on it.

Here is your trophy for most innane post of the year.


Did I say anything about the store manager going to jail? No I said the store is responsible for who they hire to do a job. If someone does something criminal on their own, they are responsible, if Walmart told him to whack 30 people, then the CEO and the person would both be responsible.

Homeslice got it, so it shouldn't be that much of a reach.

In 101's defense.. You did say Walmart would be responsible for it's employee's actions. You didn't say anything about him being told to do it by his boss.

How is it Innane? You specificly said that a company is responsible for who they hire, which is true. But as I said before, people dont go into an interview saying, 'Ya, im racist, I also like drugs, and raping women'. If the person meets the companies qulifications, and makes a good first impression, it isnt the companies fault when they later find out he isn't the person he pretended to be.

Nobody committed a crime here. A dumb kid made a dumb comment, but he didnt do anything that harmed anyone.

I've said it multiple times, the real idiots are the ones who are offended. Any punishment should be dished out by the kids parents, not by the law.

Blaming walmart in any way, if he had been an employee (but he wasnt, so its even less their fault), makes as little sense as comparing it to burning a cross in a black mans yard.

This is furthering the pussification of society as a whole. The only hope is that people someday get sick of being coddled by lawers and politicians, and fight to take back the proud society we once had. It doesnt look so good though.

Again....you said "100% responsible for who they hire", which is implying that the store is responsible for ALL actions of the employees they hire.

Apoc explained it well. I don't need to re-explain.
