if she's going in and dropping slurs over a problem with the bill I have zero doubt she said something just as bad as she walked out the door as a parting shot, since that's exactly how those types work, just gotta leave one final real nasty remark before you get out of earshot from the person you're targeting. That combined with the insane stress the employees are currently under, it's not surprising in the least that someone broke and was like "gently caress that, gently caress you, say hello to the ground"

he's gonna get an absurdly disproportionate punishment though, guaranteed.

I’m a bartender, I get it. I’ve been called all manner of things, I’ve had things thrown at my head by people who felt we’re taking to long to get them a drink, I’ve been swung on, I’ve dealt with dudes trying to take girls that were too drunk to open their eyes home with them, I’ve confronted guys jerking off in their cars watching the servers. There’s absolutely no excuse to slam somebody who’s that much weaker than you while they’re walking away and pose no danger to you. You’re right though, I’m sure she did say something on the way out because they always do, and that the punishment will be far more severe than the crime and that’s also very upsetting. The whole thing is a drat shame.

Nah there totally is

Aside from all the other reasons not to use slurs, pretty much anyone who has been a victim of a violent hate crime (or violent racially charged bullying or whatever people want to call it since most places still try really hard to not file charges for bias crimes for a multitude of reasons) usually had a bunch of slurs yelled at them during it. They're often a distinct trigger and lol if you trigger someone's ptsd by being a complete, unrepentant rear end in a top hat you deserve whatever the gently caress happens to you.

Like it's unfortunate, but if you don't want your bones broken don't use loving slurs it's really that simple

I'm not saying he SHOULD have done that, I am saying that I can absolutely see someone snapping with everything else going on, getting paid basically nothing to deal with unimaginable garbage from the worst people on a no doubt daily basis especially with the chicken sandwich bullshit, and then some old shithead waltzes in and drops a hard R because you're not kowtowing enough to them. You might have the patience of a saint, but not everyone does. He could've reported it and maybe gotten her banned from the store, but instead he broke and took a more...direct approach.

yeah I have experience with severe PTSD and had an awful coworker set it off in an incredibly stupid, hateful, grounds-for-firing-easily way, and I had about ten seconds of this adrenaline spike and coldness in my mind where I was like "if I don't get away from this right now, it's going to get extremely violent". this guy didn't have that moment of clarity and just went for it, unfortunately. but the lady is by no means the only victim here.

Some people you can dissuade from things by appealing to them with words or reason or by explaining the emotional reality of their actions. Some people just don't give a gently caress and are fundamentally just mean spirited narcissistic fucks who literally only respond to physical consequences for their behavior. Trying to use words on the latter is a complete waste of time and 99% of the time people try every manner of poo poo to deescalate and give the person 500 opportunities to stfu and walk away unharmed before anyone does anything. If you persist through tons of people telling you to shut up you don't want to do this and you keep going, it's unfortunate but you're going to have a specific experience that you bought the ticket for against the direct advice or wishes of every single person present to your dumbshit behavior.

ima come back to the highly useful axiom for life of 'don't use slurs ever if you don't want someone to gently caress your poo poo up.' Besides, people mostly use slurs because they think that because of who they are they won't face any consequences, so it's actually good that they discover that no one is specialler than anyone else.

thirteen year olds usually don't understand the consequences of their actions nor what the words they're saying even mean most of the time in regards to racist, hateful poo poo

this lady's old enough to know what not to say and chose to pick a fight with the dude over something trivial. nice of you to defend her because you're so used to awful people and have developed a "thick skin" though

Have a suspicion that the lady wasn't doing this for the first time, very boomer to expect to get away with it repeatedly. That said the way she was smacked on the concrete could have crippled her or given her permanent brain damage (in addition to the preexisting brain worms). I hope that he can get a strong defense going.

This story has no winner. There is no satisfying smackdown because that smackdown might be costing something their freedom. It's terrible all around.

Penalties for Aggravated Assault
Aggravated assault in Tennessee involving intentional or knowing acts is a Class C felony.

Aggravated assault involving reckless acts is a Class D felony.

Aggravated assault involving failing to protect a child or protected adult from an aggravated assault or child abuse also is a Class C felony.

Aggravated assault against a public employee or transit worker is a Class A misdemeanor.

Possible Sentences
A Class C felony is punishable by 3 to 15 years in prison and a fine up $10,000.

A Class D felony is punishable by 2 to 12 years in prison and a fine up to $5000.

A Class A misdemeanor is punishable by up to 11 months and 29 days in jail, a fine up to $2500, or both.

Restitution
A person convicted of aggravated assault in Tennessee can be required to pay restitution, which involves reimbursing the victim for any expenses resulting from the crime, such as the cost of medical treatment or counseling or repair or replacement of damaged property.

So this dude is looking at fifteen years in prison, a $10,000 fine, and all of her medical bills.

Yes I read it. It's not a mind blowing thing to understand that some people don't learn lessons from words. There's not much "nuance" in ragdolling someone for dropping the N word. It was a stupid move that's going to unfortunately ruin that worker's life. You can cheer him on if you like, but going to jail to teach an old woman a lesson isn't going to help anyone. If you believe breaking a bunch of bones is an appropriate response to a lovely boomer saying awful things, then that's your business. I'm not going to agree with it.
