Ron Tinsley said he shopping in the store with his wife and granddaughter last Sunday when he heard someone say over the store loudspeaker, “All black
people leave the store now.”
"I am shocked, appalled and angry at the racial remarks made by a man over the store's loud speaker,” Tinsley told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “The
best way for me to handle this situation and for safety I called 911. I took no chances and called the cops.”

Currently, Washington Township New Jersey Police have no suspects and are investigating. Tinsley told RadarOnline.com that he’s never experienced anything like it.
“I have never heard anything like this before and I hope I will never again. Everyone in the store was outraged. The whole store was quiet when this happened. You could hear a pin drop. We completed our purchases and walked right out. I don't know if we will return."
Ashley Hardie, a representative for the chain, issued the following statement: "We're as appalled by this as anyone. Whoever did this is wrong and acted in an inappropriate manner. Clearly, this is unacceptable. We are currently reviewing our systems to prevent this from happening in the future.”

Even if it was "all white people leave the store"..... they would still find a way to make it a racial comment against them.
It was was was just a stupid prank.
They have to get their panties in a bunch over everything effin thing.

What you call a prank and a panty-bunching issue is more serious than that. I know parents who will not allow their kids to be coached in sports by White men for fear their kids will be molested or kidnapped. Funny, huh???

who ever did this is totally in the wrong but just saying it could have been an angry customer just as easily as it could have been and employee. i hope they find out who did it but i doubt it.

Only in NJ will you find them setting up counseling for those who have been "traumatized" by this event! And they wonder why they pay the highest in taxes & insurance?! PS. Born in NJ, smart enough to get out as an adult!

I like how they said they continued on to pay for their purchases and then they left. Speaks volumes about how they really feel.

While disgusting, it was hardly worth a call to 911.
