To the three young men on the steps by the Walmart on Mumford road at 4:30 Sunday afternoon – you are disgusting human beings!
You saw my 61 year old mother who was trying to quickly get out of your way as you were coming down stairs, but instead of moving aside you decided to SHOVE her out of your way! Her shoulder was hurt when it hit the wall, as was her bad knee. (My mother suffers from arthritis and fibromyalgia, and was enjoying a walk on one of her good days) So what do you do next? Look at her and laugh. Words can not express how infuriated I am. My mother, however, is not angry but upset and scared, which is why she didn’t go to a security guard or call the police. I wonder how you would feel if this happened to your mother, sister, grandmother?
You truly are the scum of our society

Wow…what a bunch of little assholes. Sadly, this is the way a lot of teenage boys behave, and it makes me so angry to think that this shit actually had the nerve to look at your poor mother and laugh. Someday soon he isn’t going to be as lucky, and he’ll end up getting flattened by someone who is a lot bigger than he is. I wonder how cool he’ll look in front of his friends when that day finally rolls around.
Typical of today’s younger people, if you can call them people. No respect for any one or anything. Off with their heads, I say.
I must have been naive to think this sort of behavior didn’t exist.. this makes me sick.
You couldn’t pay me to use those fucking stairs. Knowing the type of little monsters that patrol that area, I always felt something like that would happen. I hope your mom gets well soon. There is absolutely no excuse for such cruel and horrible behaviour. They probably smelled her fear, the little cunts.
I don’t use those stairs because I’m afraid who I will meet on them.
I feel sorry for your mother. I hope those little scumbags will get what they deserve in the near future.
I wish I could smack their parents stupid, too.
A group of little punks tried to mug my dad once because he’s in his 60s and looks frail.
He flattened one and the rest away scared. Seniors look like great targets, but some of them aren’t as frail as they look. I really wish those were the ones that these little assholes target so they could get their asses kicked and perhaps learn a lesson.
I don’t even know your mother, but this pisses me off pretty hardcore too. If I EVER saw some little asshole do that to someone on those stairs I’d boot them in the back so they’d go face first down the stairs and smash their faces.
It’s just a shame your mother had to go through that. It’s tough getting over a violent attack (because this WAS a violent attack) psychologically.
Something should be done about this staircase – either reported to the press or the company who owns the property.
I’m sorry about your mother. What little jerks!!
I have to say though, I don’t think it’s fair to say all young people are like that. Sadly, it may be more common than not, I’m not sure, but there are a heck of a lot of young people who ARE very nice and thoughtful. Just my humble opinion.
not all are like that, but those that are certainly make up for those that aren’t. that is just pathetic.
I remember one time at the terminal, kids ran across the street (before there was that fence/girder there) while traffic was halted and honking away… they walk by and say “So what. I have a pistol, whatcha gonna do about it?”
where the fuck do they 1. learn this shit and think that’s acceptable?
2. get off acting like that?
fucking kids these days…. can’t live with ’em, can’t kill ’em.
I have a feeling Jim THE HAMMER Shapiro is going to be a busy guy when these kids grow up.
