Absolutely uncalled for to follow her out and assault her with intent to cause grievous injury or possibly even death.

Unhinged to say the least.

I saw this story on my phone and watched two videos, the first was the body slam, it was BRUTAL! Definitely worthy of arrest.

The second was earlier and her calling the worker (multiple time) the "N" word. From the limited footage I'd seen it looked the employee wasn't the only African American and the person filming that video says something along the line of (not a direct quote) "this isn't a place to use that word".

This reminds me of a local firearm dealer a few years ago. Someone came into the store and attempted to rob him, needless to say, it didn't go well for the robber.

She needed a lesson, that one cost dearly, both her and the employee.

If she was 300 pounds she would be fine. He couldn’t body slam her.

NO! You don't teach an old lady a lesson by body slamming her for calling you a ******!

Yes, she was inappropriate in her speech. But those employees followed her outside like savages. Big Budda picks her up and slams her into the ground, and you call that a lesson learned?!

Good Lord, our nation is falling apart. There is no excuse for that attack. None.

I literally just saw the video. What is wrong with Popeyes these days?!? Several different locations some crazy going on.

Very terrible. No need to be assault someone just because they are acting racist by using that word. Jail time for that person who hurt the lady.

Also, to the person above; you think what happened was okay and justified?!? You are crazy just like the guy who hurt the old person.

You don't throw white-haired old ladies on the pavement and call it a "lesson they need to learn."

Popeye's employees should never body slam customers. They should put them in inverted arm-trap three-quarter nelson sleeper holds, and when they lose consciousness, have security move them from the property.

The old lady just won the ghetto lottery and will walk (or limp) away with a fortune.
Popeyes and their insurers will be the final victims.
The savage with no impulse control will receive a slap on the wrist.
Next (similar) story?

She's 55, which I don't consider old. Heck, I'm 54.

Apparently he's fired; the other employees should also be fired. Hopefully he will do some sort of time.

I saw both videos too. Looked like she was the only white person. I didn't hear the N word, nor did I hear cracker which I've never heard an AA use since the 80's. You really can't understand anything being said because it sounded like every employee was screaming at her.

She deserves every dollar Popeye's pays her

It's a chicken sandwich.

Wait until the fuss has died down and then try it.

Why anyone would want to hurt someone over a chicken sandwich is beyond me.

The massive hype shows shows how some people are just like sheep in terms of their mentality and outlook.
