Is it because white people like you don't like seeing black people being empowered?
what's empowering about this story?

I wasn't referring to the story but to your comment about Al Sharpton and Jackson (i have no idea who you're talking about).
if you are defending Sharpton and Jackson you have no idea what you are talking about.

google Tawana Brawley - there's some empowering :roll:

Meh sh1t happens. Nothing is perfect in this world, and you're going to get some people trying to take advantage of stuff. They're on the extreme, because in order to get any attention in this age of hundreds of media channels, thousands of media outlets, and millions of stories, you need to act outrageously. That's what they do. I don't know why white people get their panties in such bunches when they see blacks with power actually helping other blacks. Of course, you ignore all the other blacks that are treated unfairly by the system. What are the chances that a white girl would have been charged with a felony in this case?

but the girl in this case is not white. she's black. lets focus on the crime instead of what might've happened if she was of a different color. spitting in someone's drink is flat out wrong and should have serious repercussions.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A Stafford County fast food employee is facing felony charges after a man told police she spat in his drink.
Eighteen-year-old Shaleesheya Ford is charged with adulteration of food, obstruction of justice and making a false report.

She faces up to 10 years in prison.

It happened April 14th at a Taco Bell along Garrisonville Road and it all started when a customer couldn't get some tea.

According to Stafford General District Court records, the 35-year-old victim - who did not want to give his name - purchased food at the drive-through window but didn't get the iced tea he ordered.

He says he complained and later got the drink. But when he opened it up he saw "a strange substance" floating in the cup.

Investigators later linked the incident to the woman.

She faces arraignment Tuesday.

10 years and a felony conviction for spitting in a drink? How many people here applaud and joke about doing ****** to some assholes food? I'm sorry, she deserves to loose her job and get fined, but 10 years is a farce. People don't do that for drunk driving which, I think we can all agree, is a much worse offense.

Yeah, I think it's gross as hell, but it wasn't a situation where, like you said, she could have killed a bunch of people like drunk driving. IDK

So tell me, why are you so sick of Sharpton? What is he doing that's separating the races?

At least with neo-nazis and KKKs, they're upfront with their beliefs.

You answered it right there. Neo-Nazis and KKK admit to being Racists. Al Sharpton is a racists, he just doesn't admit it.

They (Sharpton and his like) Have beaten into modern America, that being proud to be Black is about being proud to be black and that being proud to be white means you are a racist piece of crap and that you secretly attend all of the clan meetings.

I'm sure she won't get 10 years....that's the maximum sentence for "adulteration of food".........although I would guess the 10 years is for putting more then spit in someone's cup.............She probably won't even get a felony......but if she does- serves her right for taking advantage of taco bell's genorosity! They're probably going to be sued and lose more in $$ then she's worth.....

Spitting, imo, is assault. I had some guy (when I was like 15) try to pick a fight with me and I wouldn't hit him despite his repeated saying, "hit me! hit me!" Then, to I guess get me further pissed off, he spat on me.

Low and behold my reaction just took over and I punched him about 10 times in the face before others held me back from him. He was bloody. Then, the parents who were 'supervising us' (was right before a soccer practice) had this huge debate of who's fault it was.. Because I was the first to hit the kid.. but he did spit on me.

Oh ya.. I think a quick reaction like someone does to scare someone can also be assault. Being the smallest kid in my class all the way till about 10th grade, I got picked on a lot. So, I got in a lot of fights. One kid did kind of a clap with his hands right in my face to make me jump when he was picking a fight. So, I started punching him. I didn't get in trouble (was at my school) because my principal decided that the kid who picked a fight and tried to scare me instigated it because one's natural reaction is to protect himself. How am I supposed to know he's just clapping in my face and not punching me right when it's happening?

So anyway, imo.. Spitting in a drink should be a felony.


nice :thumbsup:

good point on whoever said i wonder if she would have done it if the customer was black. IMO, she would NOT have.

and she probably won't get 10 years...maybe no jail time at all. maybe probation and some fines. but I don't think this is something jackson / sharpton would get involved in. I mean, how could you possibly defend her, and on top of that, make it race related...

I've worked fast food for long enough in my life to know that some customers just straight up have a bad attitude, but I NEVER even thought it would be funny to do something like that. I've never did anything to someone's food because that's just downright obscene, repulsive, and morbid. I would have loved to see what happened if the guy spit right in her face. Would it be a double standard?

If race has anything to do with this situation, then it just makes it all the more childish for her to respond that way. Even if the guy pulled out all the stops and called her a ni**** over forgetting the tea or something, you don't spit in the drink. You be the better person, refund their money for the drink, tell them to go to hell and never come back to your restaurant.

And here we have it: an attempt to rationally justify a haneous crime.

EDIT: And how do you think the two crimes are related? Its comparing apples to oranges. On its face value, the punishment is justified.
