If it turns out that the kid prankster was, indeed, truly black...he's got nothing to worry about jailtime. I'm sure the Revs. Sharpton and Jackson will make it incident go away quickly and quietly.

It was a black youth. This morning they had his uncle on TV that was black talking about the incident.

If his uncle is Black than the kid is most likely not White, because most White people do not have a Black uncle.

That's interesting. Watch for an entirely different response now by many of the general public if it comes out that's he's black.

All those who were demanding the death penalty for the kid making that announcement will now just drop the whole thing.

Maybe he's an Uncle Tom.

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.

If it was an employee, sure fire him. Chances are it was a customer. No matter who it was, there is no justification for prosecution.

This story just keeps getting better!

Funny (and sad) how THIS event gets national coverage, while the Christian-Newsome murders get barely a mention.

[Eddie Ho]

I read the story about the Christian-Newsome murders. Absolutely awful stuff. The things those monsters did to that young couple, just unthinkable. It's the worst hate crime I've heard about in a very, very long time.

Obviously the public wouldn't know how to use it nor would they want to but, if it wasn't an employee then somebody went out of their way to figure out how to do it. It's not like it would be that complicated....it's not like they were at the Pentagon.....some smart *ss ould have been watching what a Walmart employee dialed when they had to make an announcement....maybe some kid that used to work there, told a friend what to code was...etc. What I'm saying is that I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it wasn't an employee that did it. It's just much less likely because they would be aware of how easily they would get caught....the fact that it was known that they were one of the people that knew the code, therefore making them a possible suspect.....they would know they were being recorded on video if they did it. Apparently whom ever did it, didn't realize there was a camera on them.
