What do you want to bet that…
- The leftist politicians, media and judges will have more pity for the assaulting black shoplifter than for the family of the deceased grandpa. Progressives (should be called “regressives”) believe that blacks are still oppressed by whitey, they deserve a break, should not be subject to the same laws that were established by “white racists”, and should be excused from their crimes.
- In spite of Home Depot’s condolences to the deceased’s family, they will minimize any payout because the employee did not follow employee shoplifter protocol of letting shoplifters do their thing.

North Carolina Home Depot worker, 83, dies weeks after being shoved during theft; police searching for suspect
The elderly Home Depot worker approached the suspect as he was allegedly stealing three pressure washers
VideoAn elderly Home Depot employee died on Thursday from injuries he sustained in October when a theft suspect shoved him while allegedly stealing three pressure washers.
The suspect was leaving the store’s garden area on the morning of Oct. 18 with a shopping cart full of stolen goods when the employee approached him.
Surveillance video released by the Hillsborough Police Department appears to show the suspect shoving the elderly employee to the ground and hurrying out of the store.
The victim died on Dec. 1 due to complications from injuries he sustained during the incident. A medical examiner ruled that his death was a homicide.

Gary Rasor, the employee, celebrated his 83rd birthday while hospitalized for his injuries.
"We are heartbroken by the loss of our associate Gary. He was part of our team for more than 9 years. He was an amazing friend, husband, father and grandfather, always willing to help anyone," a spokesperson for Home Depot told Fox News Digital in a statement.
"Right now, our top concern is supporting his family and our associates during this difficult time."

His wife previously told WNCN that her husband recognized the suspect.
"He knows the guy is a thief. He’s been there, he’s seen him in the store before," she told the local news outlet. "And what he told me was that sometimes the guy will buy one or two items so he has a receipt, and then he’ll add more stuff to his cart and flash the receipt."
