The killer probably believes it's his god given right to murder the guard too.

He probably thought the guard was working for the Shadow Government or something

This sounds too bizarre to be true.

Is America really the kind of country where people kill other just because a security guard reprimand you?

Idk, I'm at loss for words that Americans are like some sort of monsters that don't value human life.

I really do not understand how Americans are so crazy. Like anywhere I go I have to be in a defensive manner because it's totally possible somebody will kill you for the dumbest reasons.

Even third world countries you will get murdered most likely for economic or religious reasons. America you can end up dying because someone had a bad day playing Call of Duty.

You aren''t very familiar with the Flint area, are you?

They don't really believe in conservative conspiracy theories.

If he wore a mask hed be hard to identify and also not be asked therefore not murder someone over it....

guy nearly ran over someone at my store because we asked him to wait 30 seconds for 1 person to leave, since we are doing the 100 in, 1 out, 1 in bit.

IIRC the shooter is also wanted for violating the local mask requirement when he went into the store.

Flint, Michigan

To be fair, this is the city that was essentially abandoned to die by their state government. Life is probably valued slightly differently.

You know the fucked up thing with all of this is that dollar tree has been surprisingly decent with us through all of this. Dude would have been getting extra pay they send all the stores face masks and gloves putting in sneeze guards. And then these dipshits come along

Boy I sure love how the mods continually allow the same right wing race-baiting trolls to derail serious topics

Not justifying this, but they never should have strained the hospital system and denied people entry by making masks a requirement.

My only visit to Family Dollar consisted of some guy screaming at me for standing in his way.

Don't jump to conclusions. The terms you two used are largely applied to white people. In this instance, it looks like the perpetrators were black.

@EnragedSlith @DirkDiggles

lol why does it matter? Calling them rednecks had zero to do with their race.

Who are you considering race baiting in this topic? The first couple of posters or the ones that showed who committed the crime in response to their posts?

I suggest you look up the term some more and its origins. It's a derogatory term applied to white people. I suppose you could say "well maybe not always", but you're not really fooling anyone. Particularly since this happened in the far North, and the term is used to mostly describe people in the south. You're kinda just wrong in a lot of areas on this

Screw complying with this crap

Fair enough. Dollar Tree owns Family Dollar now.

Tbh it is somewhat amusing watching him meltdown over someone using "redneck" when he's one of those users that use "thug" as a not-so-subtle codeword for "black people".

Its crazy that there were 3 adults here and no one thought "why dont you just put on a mask and go back?"

---

3 charged in murder of Family Dollar security guard over face mask dispute
https://www.wilx.com/content/news/570190271.html
---

now all 3 of them are going to prison, the scary thing is that all 3 of them thought this was a rational thing to do

to kill a man for following the law. They are all over the age of 18 and still found it in themselves to do this

---

in all seriousness, this kind of thing is the reason why certain politicians aren't really that interested in doing things like getting clean water to places like Flint. they think the people who live in these areas are/act like animals.

Its not really an american thing. The USA is huge, bigger than the EU as Im sure you are aware. These things are not typical for the USA but typical for any shithole city in the state of Michigan. As Im sure you can imagine, Michigan (particularly Flint and Detroit) is near the bottom on the list of places you would want to live in the USA.

This is legit true too which is the saddest part

You really need to go outside today after making such a stupid post. It literally is not true, and you would know this if you went outside more often.

Im sure it wasnt acquired legally. These are Flint, Michigan gun owners were talking about here, not Vermont gun owners.

Im not wrong because it doesnt matter where the term originated from or who it historically described, language evolves and the term now encapsulates a subset of every race in every state. Its also contextually obvious that I was using it to describe poor, uneducated, and prideful morons. Why you and you alone are buttflustered over racial semantics says a lot about your priorities. God forbid someone conflate black idiots with the purity of white ones.

Suck for the little girl that going to lose her mom, dad and brother for something stupid.

I had to read over the article and another article as I was confused over the turn of events. Mother and daughter go to store. Daughter didn't have her mask and was refused entry, mother throws a fit, spits at the dude, and leaves with her daughter. Mother's husband and son come in to cuss out the dude and the son shoots him.

I'm curious as why the mother is getting charged with murder. In any case, it's a shame that the daughter basically lost her entire family and has her life ruined in about "20 minutes of action".

But really, this trend of "taking your anger out on people with your gun" is all over in inner city ghettos. Where I live, our homicide rate is already past a quarter of our peak year (100 and change, but we're a small population) where one star murder case was an argument breaking out over Dominoes at 2:00 AM and ending with gun fire. Unfortunately, to solve this problem, a massive culture change needs to be put in place, but that means scrutinizing culture, and it'll get racial. That, and we'll need jobs.

We recently started taking temps of workers to see if they were fit for work. Lot of good that does when we have customers coming in that could be sick. Course, we aren't allowed to take their temperatures due to outrage that would cause.

they take the temp of every customer that enters stores in china I think. I read that somewhere. I wouldn't mind it

Yeah, but the differences in cultures is pretty apparent. Canadians/Americans get offended by every little thing and can't accept change. Asian cultures have it all the time.

Baltimore, MD
Flint, MI
Detroit, MI

Hmmm...... wonder what these places have in common....

^ imagine being this person
