(2,675 posts)I've had two men try to shove me aside to get at something in a store - I mean, not accidentally bump or are just too big for the space, but really push. I really hate it when people try to push me around and my first response is physical. So I shoved back. I didn't look at them, didn't say anything, just shoved back and continued what I was doing. They stayed away.

sure theres a case for this to be his typical reaction to not being served the word on a plate.
However I have the sneaking suspicion it was my Notorious RBG hoodie that set him off into his fit of rage.

(116 posts)Because that's incredibly annoying when people stop their cart and reach directly across the aisle so nobody can move past them.

(3,198 posts)I nearly always snug up to the shelf if necessary to reach across the aisle. It was a quick arms length grab; and I would have been on my way.
This was uncalled for aggression.

(1,871 posts)A white supremacist detective in Long Island, NY was charged with a hate crime after he called a phone service worker n----r, spewing a racist tirade:
We dont want you or your kind in the neighborhood.
Rockville Centre detective John Murphy (Undated photo and source: Newsday)
John Murphy (40) allegedly erupted into a hateful rage after spotting a black cellular service subcontractor inside an SUV in his tony Manorville neighborhood. Murphy identified himself as a police officer, ignored the employees identification card, and damaged the victims SUV. The Rockville Centre Police Dept suspended the bigoted imbecile who was ordered to stay away from the victim.
Per the US Census, Manorville, NY is 87% white, the median household income is $127,000 per annum, and the median value of a home is $522,000. The victim's salary is probably $45,000 per annum.
Nota Bene: And this incident reportedly occurred before election night.

(114 posts)That is what I plan to say to anyone in the grocery store that complains about prices. I know he is not in office yet, but the Magats think he is.
