Don't be cutting in line at Wal-mart	Can't Post

Cutting in line: a big no-no..

ST. LOUIS

- Nearly three years after Heather Ellis switched checkout lines at a southeast Missouri store and touched off what she calls a racially charged dispute with white customers and authorities, the young black schoolteacher faces a trial that could send her to prison for 15 years.

Witnesses have told authorities that Ellis cut in front of waiting customers at the Walmart

in Kennett on Jan. 6, 2007, shoved merchandise already placed on a conveyor belt out of the way, and became belligerent when confronted, according to court filings.

Ellis maintains she was merely joining her cousin, whose checkout line was moving more quickly. She claimed in a written complaint to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that she was then pushed by a white customer, hassled by store employees, called racial slurs and physically mistreated by Kennett police officers.

I can't wait to see the video of all racist people ganging up on the innocent young black school teacher who cut in line!
Sound like a teachable moment, bring on another beer summit!

I searched her lineage. She is Kanye West's third cousin, twice removed. Mr West has agreed not to irate rants about the misfortunes of of his distant relative. Kanye's spokeswoman revealed yesterday that Wal-mart ain't got enough to cough up for him to go after them. The case ends here and Mr. West will be posting bail the moment his distant cousin steps behind the cold bars because she does not belong with those insolent delinquents.
It doesn't matter, nobody cares, just let it go.
