Jill Vejnoska has written an article on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution depicting a shoplifter who dies just outside a Lithonia Walmart. During the Black Friday shopping week when a man, whose names has not been released, stole two DVD players and tried to walk out the front door. Two of the store employees who tried to help catch the theif before the police arrived are on leave and are no longer working for Walmart. When the police arrived, they found the two employees on top of the suspect and when the police told them too they got off and let them handcuff the suspect.
The two employee's did the right thing by trying to stop the shoplifter. They did no wrong in what they did. However, they should have aprehended him a different way. A choke hold was not nesessary unless the shoplifter was struggling, one of the workers probably snapped this man's neck or twisted it out of place in the struggle. This mistake took a poor man's life.
"Police found the man to be unresposive and bleeding from his nose and mouth. Emergency units took him to DMC-Hillandale Hospital, where he was pronounced dead." According to Walmart Spokesperson, Dianna Gee, "the two Walmart associates involved in the incident have been suspended with pay pending the outcome of the investigation..the security officer involved will no longer be providing services to us."
Suspending the employee was a choice that had to be made, they could have just kept right on working however, they could possibly have murder on their hands. Any walmart would know that a problem like that could not be good for buisness so the right thing to do was to suspend them, but because they really did no wrong instead of trying to save two DVD players from walking out of the store they are still being payed. Now for how long is the question....The Security Officer, or the one who had the suspect in the allieged "choke hold" was fired or put off because he was the main reason that this poor middle aged man died. He was the one who did the wrong here not the employee's. I bet it was a tough decision for the manager to make he had to let three diferent people, but he made the right decision.

Current Connection #1
According to an article by Mary Murray, producer of NBC News, a boy named Camilo, a 7 year old in Cuba, has always asked his Grandmother when she took a trip to Havana, a big shopping mall 90 miles away, for candy, litle gags second grade boys would enjoy; things like that. So when he asked for some soap she was a little worried because as anybody would know a little boy asking for anything that would resemble clean is like asking for the impossible.
I have babysitted a 2 year old before and having him try and take a bath or stay clean is really hard. This outbreak must be really bad if this boy can look someone straight in the face and ask for soap and be completely honest about it. He is well informed to know that this diesase can seriously hurt him and he needed to take precautions to keep himself from gettintg hurt. There about "5 million cases and more than 10,000 deaths from cholera worldwide."
Apparently, there has been a cholera outbreak where 51 new cases have been diagnosed in Cuba. What is cholera? Cholera is, "a bacterial infection in the intestine that can range from mild to severe. In latter cases, an infected person will experience 'dehydration and shock' that, if left untreated, can lead to death 'within hours.' There are up to 5 million cases and more than 100,000 deaths from the diesease worldwide."
Cholera hasn't made it's way here to the United States yet, however; I am looking forward to seeing the disease show up here. If one country can get such a diesease then Cholera can easily spread to here really easlily, especially when their are illegals coming from all over the place just to get a job and be free no one can tell what just might show up here in the United States.
So Cholera in Cuba...such a shame because knowing how much of a hassel this must be to know that everyone has to boil water just to drink and having to sterilize shoes and clothes before they can be worn must be exhasting. Hopefully this is only a small outbreak and does not hit a world wide outbreak. If Cuba can control Cholera, tthen I know we are afe for another day.
