America is getting weirder and weirder. This is due to the fact that criminals are not getting their punishments, but those who are trying to prevent crimes are the ones paying for it. Unfortunately for a Lowe’s employee, she lost her job while trying to stop a robbery at the store she was working at.
According to the New York Post, In Rincon, Georgia, a Lowe’s employee, Donna Hansbrough, 68-years-old, courageously tries to prevent shoplifters from stealing $2,100 worth of merchandise. Initially, she was witnessing three individuals loading up a shopping cart and attempting to leave the store without paying.
Donna grabs onto the cart, which was allegedly being pushed by Takyah Berry, one of the shoplifters. Unfortunately, the situation took a violent turn, and Takyah Berry allegedly assaults the veteran employee, striking her in the face three times. Unfortunately, it left her with a black eye. As a consequence of her brave actions, Donna Hansbrough lost her job.

Twitter users are calling her a hero as some people can’t turn off their moral compassion due to a company policy. Unfortunately, there are some racist comments in relation to the alleged robbers.
