it is true her death is not work-related,but it looks so bad to denied the money.
but shouldn`t the killer be the one paying for this?
The problem is that murderers do not generally have the money to pay their victims.
If she had been White, would they have made the same defense? If so, they should pay her. It was not a personal matter and it was not a matter that she could have avoided. She was there because it was her job.
This will go to trial, and there will be a settlement, or it will be appealed until the Supreme Court agrees or disagrees. If it wasn't personal, then it was work-related. Her race should make no difference in whether she is paid or not. Family Dollar knows that there are racist nuts around, and that eventually one of them will be a danger to their employees, so they should insure against this sort of thing.
