EXCLUSIVE AUDIO: 911 Call From Wal-Mart Racist Incident
Posted on Mar 20, 2010 @ 09:00AM
RadarOnline.com has obtained the 911 call when a shocked and stunned Wal-Mart customer reacted to a public-address-system announcement for "all black people'' to leave a store in South Jersey last weekend.
"You need a policeman at Wal-Mart," a man told a 911 operator.
BREAKING NEWS: Alleged Wal-Mart Racist Busted
"What's going on?" questioned the operator.
"Someone on the intercom telling all black people to leave Wal-Mart."
A 16-year-old allegedly used the system at the Route 42 store in South Jersey on March 14, when he calmly announced: "Attention Wal-Mart customers: All black people leave the store now.''
RadarOnline.com has confirmed the man who raised the 911 alarm was Ron Tinsley, who had been shopping with his wife and granddaughter at the time.
"I am shocked, appalled and angry at the racial remarks," Tinsley said, in an exclusive interview.
"The best way for me to handle this situation and for safety was to call 911. I took no chances and called the cops."
Late last night, police busted the accused culprit in connection with the alleged hate crime. A high school student was charged with crimes of bias, intimidation and harassment.
If convicted, he could face as much as a year in a juvenile detention center, Washington Township police said.
Tinsley said every customer in the store was outraged.
"I have never heard anything like this before and I hope I will never again," he added.
"The whole store was quiet when this happened - you could hear a pin drop.
"We completed our purchases and walked right out."
While Wal-Mart management has called the incident "unacceptable" and said it's working to make sure nothing like this happens at any other stores, Tinsley - like others who were in the store at the time - are considering a boycott.
"I don't know if we can return," Tinsley told RadarOnline.com.

IT was an ugly, stupid thing to do.. but a jerky 16 yr old... he'll be dealt with legally...To stop shopping there? That's just silly. If he had said "all fat people leave the store now", do you think fat people would boycott?

I GO TO WALMART 2-3 TIMES A WEEK. I WILL CONTINUE TO GO EVEN IF THE DEVIL HIMSELF IS ON THE PA SYSTEM.

Boycotting WalMart because of a 16 year old being a punk? Why would you let ANYONE stop you from shopping where you want to shop? Don't give anyone that much power over you.Ignorance is everywhere.

I'm really hoping the boy gets a very, very clever judge to dole out his punishment. Something he can learn from and lose the hate in his heart, maybe his parents will learn something in the process too.

I figured it was a kid behind this. Walmart has to find a way to keep the microphones away from the public. Kid had easy access to make a jackass of himself!

A boycott is stupid, a boycott for Walmart to do what? Ban all 16 year old kids from the store? Be mad at the kid and his parents.
