UnlikedMonkey 05/24/21 5:46:32 PM #1:	Florida prosecutors filed a manslaughter charge Friday against a Dunkin store employee accused of fatally punching a 77-year-old customer after the employee said the man repeatedly used a racial slur against him. Tampa police arrested Corey Pujols, 27, earlier this month. The victim, who officials havent named, was punched May 4 and died three days later, according to authorities. Pujols told police that the man was extremely rude the day of the punch and had called him a racial slur. Pujols, who is Black, said he confronted the man about the slur, at which point the 77-year-old repeated it. The slur was not described further by police. A Tampa Police Department report says that after he was punched, the victim fell backward and hit his head on the concrete floor. An autopsy shows the man suffered a skull fracture and brain contusions. According to a statement from the State Attorneys Office, the victims use of racial slurs was highly inflammatory, but inflammatory speech alone does not justify violence. Dunkin released a statement saying that the franchisee who owns and operates the restaurant where the attack occurred is fully cooperating with authorities. Pujols is free on $15,000 bond. Attorneys for Pujols didnt immediately respond to an email seeking comment. https://weartv.com/news/local/florida-dunkin-worker-charged-with-manslaughter-in-customers-death --- Matt Murdock of Earth-616, you have the ability to overcome great fear.

TommyG663513 05/24/21 6:42:49 PM #28:	Racial slurs are really bad, but killing someone over it makes you way worse. Manslaughter with maximum sentence sounds fair. I assume that is ten years at most, but probably less than that. I mean, the guy was 77 and died from the punch. I don't see any reason whatsoever to be lenient on this guy. Punching an elderly person in the head is damn near attempted murder, but I won't argue against manslaughter charges. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 <cite>TommyG663513 posted [p:954258597] in Dunkin Don...
