Washington Township, Mar 20 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The Washington Township Police Department has said that an arrest has being made in the infamous Wal-mart ‘All Black People Leave’ case. The Washington Township Police Department announced the arrest on their website, and they also added that the police with the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s office will provide more details about the arrest at a news conference.
It may be recalled that in the New Jersey Wal-Mart store, an announcement was made over the public-address system that said, “Attention Wal-Mart customers: All black people leave the store now.” The announcement was made by a male, and witnesses said that he made the announcement in a very calm and composed voice. The customers, who were present in the store at that time, were horrified and they couldn’t believe their ears.
The management of Wal-mart later apologized to all the customers, and said that the incident was simply unacceptable. The company spokesperson Ashley Hardie said that the inappropriate announcement was simply ‘unacceptable’. After this incident there was a big hue and cry amongst Wal-mart customers and many of them pledged to boycott the store, as they were unhappy with the incident.
