Lowe’s worker axed after getting black eye trying to stop thieves

By Alyssa Guzman   
July 22, 2023

A Georgia Lowe’s employee attempted to stop shoplifters making off with $2,100 amount of merchandise, leaving her unemployed and with a black eye.

Donna Hansbrough, 68, saw three people loading up a shopping cart at a store in Rincon, about 30 minutes north of Savannah, and then leave without stopping to pay, police said.

The veteran employee then grabbed onto the cart allegedly being pushed by Takyah Berry — who slugged the older woman in the face three times, according to authorities.

Berry, who was with her uncle, Joseph Berry and another man police identified as Jarmar Lawton, then made off with the goods, the Rincon Police Department said in a news release.

Hansbrough was then canned from her job of 13 years for violating company policy by interfering with the crooks, according to a report.

Kinda makes ME want to punch a Lowe's manager in the face,not to mention a couple of "bruthas" so brave they punch out a 68 year old white woman.

I'd kinda like to see if they would be interested in punching ME out. I'm old,and mostly white.

Because she was assaulted they may actually get jail time, I would shake her hand.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They're going to get their reparations one way or another.
How dare that little old lady use her face to assault the fists of those three young black victims!

Remember 20 years ago working for Walmart, even if someone pulled a gun on you to shoot you, you couldn't defend yourself. You were expected to die for corporate policy and your job.

Well what is their policy? A lot of stores want you to report it to the authorities or security only, and for good reason.

Still sucks though :(.

Ah, so this explains why I am now paying higher prices at Lowe's for everything.  Lowe's company policy is to provide self-serve merchandise to thieves for free and then require people like me to make up the difference through higher prices.  And in the event that one of their employees stands up for their paying customers, that person loses their job.

She can still make a workman's comp claim to cover medical expenses.  But that's about all she can get.

Even many, many years ago that was the case.

68-year-old Lowe's employee fired for trying to stop shoplifters has been reinstated

The 68-year-old Lowe's employee fired for bravely trying to stop shoplifters from absconding with over $2,000 of stolen merchandise has been given her job back at the Rincon, Georgia, store where she has worked for 13 years.

This corporate about-face appears to have been the result, at least in part, of the widespread recognition of Donna Hansbrough's dedication as well as the backlash online over the store's decision to kick a battered victim to the curb over a supposed company policy violation.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
