Reply #1: I Refuse To Sign Or Boycott [View All]

Until I get more information. If reported accurately, this incident is horrible and inexcusable. However, what evidence do we have that this was any more than an isolated incident? Do we know whether or not Penney's investigated this and either disciplined those involved or re-evaluated their security procedures?

Furthermore, while the actions of Penney's security may have been over zealous and possibly racially motivated, it sounds like the true outrages were perpetrated by the police.

That being said, I am probably not shopping at Penney's this holiday season anyway because I want to buy stuff that is either made in the USA or Fair Trade items. Most of the department and big chain stores carry junk made in sweatshops overseas. That's why we ought to boycott them.
