A Kansas City firefighter charged after an incident where he spat on a 3-year-old child and called him the n-word is back at work this week.
The firefighter is accused of threatening to shoot a Black customer, calling him a racial slur and then spitting on his 3-year-old grandson inside the restaurant. The victim, Raymond L. Harris, stayed behind after the Hooters manager called the police to report Harris and his family, not Skeen. Harris family was ultimately asked to leave the restaurant, despite having done nothing wrong, according to the newspaper.
Harris said he was still inside with his grandson when the child briefly wandered away. Moments later, another patron said she saw Skeen spit on the child.
You need to get that fing girl and take her back to the other side where you came from, Skeen shouted at the man from across the bar.
After correcting him on the tots gender, Harris said he asked Skeen if he had spit on his grandchild.
Fuck you, you (n-word), Skeen allegedly replied. I will spit on you. Fuck you! I will shoot you!
Skeens attorneys have denied the allegations and said his clients side of the story will all come out at the trial. The firefighter is expected to plead not guilty
Pretty weird that a dude is bringing a 3 year old to a Hooters. Still not appropriate to spit on and threaten to shoot them. ---
