Do you believe this should be a prank punished as a bias hate crime?

I think whoever did it should obviously be fired but prosecuted I am not sure about.
I'm sure they have been fired if it was an employee but, it could have been a shopper who got ahold of the microphone for the store's PA system some how too. I don't see how it's a crime though....what would the charges be in terms of a hate crime? I can see how they might be able to charge them for using the stores PA system to make an unauthorized announcement and then if found guilty, give them the maximum penalty for it. Maybe the store will be able to press charges.

The best punishment is to broadcast his face on the news, and then stick him in the nearest ghetto in NJ for about an hour. That would satisfy all sides. Sure, he'd probably get shot, but hey.

This happened, its time to get over it already. Looking at the video, it seems like black people aren't bothered by this, its only the whites who are shocked.

What's up with WalMart...the #1 retailer in the world...that in this day and age of technological advances that any kid can go into any WalMart store across the country, and randomly pick up a building phone and make an announcement over the PA system??? Why wasn't a system employed whereas a certain code must first be entered.

I still blame WalMart...and give that kid credit for having the balls to pull off a prank like that one!

He shouldn't be charged!! Repremanded, but not charged. He obviously did it as a joke.

Talk about racist.I am finding your "white trash" comments to be just that....
