US teen held for racial comment

2010-03-20 22:07

New Jersey - Police have arrested a 16-year-old boy in the case of a racial comment that was made over the public-address system at a Walmart store in southern New Jersey.

Police said on Saturday the Atlantic County teenager was arrested on Friday on charges of harassment and bias intimidation. They say he's been released to the custody of his parents.

The incident happened on Sunday evening when a male voice came over the Walmart public address system and calmly announced: "Attention, Walmart customers: All black people, leave the store now."

The announcement provoked an immediate apology from the store manager.

Authorities aren't releasing the boy's name because he's a juvenile, and they don't know whether he has an attorney.

Fred says... No Fidel, you are confused. The time of the petty and self-serving tyrant is over in the Middle East. The people of the region are speaking. After Assad, Ahmedinejad and the Ayatollahs with their dark chauvinism and wild vitriol. Read the article...
