The assault occurred at 3:23 p.m. May 25 at the Walmart on Sigmon Road, according to a statement from Lucy Crockett, spokeswoman for the Wilmington Police Department.

Two of the store's loss prevention officers, a 31-year-old and a 56-year-old, tried to stop four people who they suspected of shoplifting. Someone in the group punched and kicked the younger Walmart employee so hard that it injured his eardrum, according to the statement from police.

Months later, the employee still has not returned to work.

Police ask anyone who can identify the suspects to call Detective Paul Verzaal at 343-3921.

FOOT IN MOUTH DISEASE

NBC Dateline asked the Inannones if they wanted to go on NATIONAL television and they said they would. And they did. Boy did they. You would think a serial killer would have better sense right? So maybe that proves Tim Iannone innocent.

Yeah right. The proof of innocence would be an alibi wouldn't ya think?

I certainly hope that these two women that were brutally murdered, stabbed to death, would reach down from the heavens and point a finger in the direction of the killer and his accomplice, to prove dumb and dumber innocent of course.

Can you use a TV show as evidence? Can you use it to convict someone on a capital murder?

BEAT ME

There was a beating the other night/early morning of a homeless guy sleeping in the doorway of a downtown Wilmington business. The defenseless man was passed out when the attack happened and when interviewed by police couldn't remember much of what tool place. The assault was captured on surveillance video as well as perhaps the cell phone of one of the two attackers.

When I was looking to see if someone posted the beating I found the above youtube video of an obviously drunk patron of the gypsy restaurant agreeing to get punched in the face for $100. The punch knocked the dude out.  No word on his recovery.

I wonder if the homeless guy beating and the beating of the juggler at the gypsy restaurant are connected. Anyone that would hit a drunk, a defenseless drunk would be suspect number one on my list of people I wanted to talk to if I was investigating the homeless guy's assault.

A few months ago when a college student from out of town was at a party with UNCW students some words were exchanged about race and sexual preference, soon a punch was thrown and that one punch  killed the out of towner.

It may very well be that a law was broken when that juggalo hit the juggler causing what may be serious damage. Having had several concussions myself, I believe they are all serious enough to warrant a trip to the emergency room. After all babies die from concussions, it's called shaken baby syndrom, professional football players have all kinds of neurological problems from their concussions and someone takes advantage of a drunk and people cheer. Well whether or not a deal was made, that deal was made with a person who was obviously impared and defenseless. Drunks can't make deals, they can't sign contracts, they can't agree to sex and they can't drive. And they sure can't take a punch.
