PipeBomb 3/14/2013 5:50:06 PM ReportWhy am I never around when stuff like this happens. I always miss the good events!!
Koolaid 3/14/2013 5:59:32 PM ReportNice!! This is disgusting These poor security guards are just trying to do thier job for crappy pay, and they get punched out. The owners should give this guard a raise for putting his/her life in danger.
Working Man 3/14/2013 6:27:04 PM ReportI'm sure it wasn't a life-threatening situation.
He was probably just flirting with the cashiers and creeped them out. Or maybe he was drunk..
But, it would have been fun event to watch.
HONEST1 3/14/2013 9:37:43 PM ReportHOPE THE SECURITY GUARD DIDN'T GET HURT BAD OR ANYTHING.
Snowdon 3/14/2013 10:53:13 PM ReportKoolaid - nowhere does it say any guard was punched out. Assault can mean many different things. A classic Sootoday response, inventing details from police press releases.
jojoe71 3/14/2013 11:34:50 PM ReportI think Wayne needs an attitude adjustment. They should have just gave him one quick kick in the gonads. That would have put him in a more civil mood. JMHO :)
JUSTANOTHERNAME 3/15/2013 8:28:17 AM ReportThis SOB needs more than an attitude adjustment. This is not by far his first offence. All the courts do is give him a 30-60 day mental health evaluation and then probation for a year. His probation is no sooner up and he is charged again. He is unpredictable on his assults and does not need to be provoked by anyone to become violent. I hope this time the courts hold him accountable to his actions because one day he is going to do more serious harm than he has to previous victims.
horseguy001 3/15/2013 8:48:47 AM ReportWell I saw it. The security gaurd was pollite and professional. The other guy sucker punched him in the face but the security officer got him to the ground and cuffed him. He did a good job and I am not sure i would have been as calm as he was. The cops took the guy to jail.
