🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in Georgia after a White Kroger manager who ran into the parking lot to protect an ELDERLY co-worker from MASKED Black shoplifters was BEATEN, left with a CONCUSSION and STAPLES...

...and then FIRED by Kroger 3 DAYS LATER for helping her!!!

After 14 YEARS WORKING THERE!!!!!!

Yes, you read that right.

Sixteen months later, the men who put him in the hospital have never been arrested.

Not one.

His name is Michael Self.

For 14 years, he ran the Kroger on North Decatur Road in DeKalb County.

On the morning of Saturday, May 24th, 2025, around 8:20 a.m., masked shoplifters walked out of his store.

An elderly employee followed them outside.

Cellphone video shows what happened next. The masked suspects swung a bag of paper towels at her.

Then they SHOVED her.

Michael ran out to help her.

"I literally just wanted to draw the tension away from my associates, get them to stop and everybody just be done," he said.

"As I got away from that door, someone hit me in the back of the head with something."

The video shows him on the ground.

He left Emory University Hospital with a concussion and staples in his head.

AND IT GETS WORSE.

Three days later, Kroger fired him.

Yes, after fourteen years a father of three was TERMINATED FROM HIS JOB for trying to protect an elderly woman.

The reason?

"He violated the company's shoplifting policy."

The termination letter, Michael says, accused HIM of starting the fight.

"I didn't even get to talk to the people that decided to fire me," he said.

So the rule is: watch the elderly cashier get shoved in the parking lot.

Do nothing to help her.
Keep your job.

Step in? You're the problem and you're fired

OH, and the Black men in the masks?

DeKalb County police say the case is "still open."

No names.
No descriptions.
No arrests.
AFTER 16 months.

They beat an old woman, cracked a man's skull open, and walked away with paper towels and their freedom.

The only person who has faced any consequence for what happened in that parking lot is the man who tried to stop it.

Michael is finally telling his side of the story because he is still fighting to clear his name and still looking for work.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.

Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.

He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.

I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.

He is a true hero.

@bennyjohnson Daily Inquirer at best. Just another checkout rag at the grocery counter.

Iran just wrote a 47 page letter to the “Honorable”people of the U.S.. They asked you to vote for Democrats. Do you need any better reason to vote red? Imagine Hitler, or rocket man, or Maduro asking you to vote D. This shows the world who’s side our enemies vote for.

Liberals will walk into an Apple Store and hand over their ID, SS#, bank account info, employment information, and mailing address without a second thought.

Then they’ll jump on social media using the phone they just bought and protest having to show an ID to vote.

Make that make sense.
