Fucking morons charged.
According to the arrest reports, a witness saw a female employee jump on Wisham's back, knocking him to the ground before punching him multiple times as Wisham held his hands over his head. Then another employee kneed him in the back, the witness said. The third held Wisham by his ankles, a store manager who also witnessed the incident told police.
At the very least, all three employees have an outside chance at an involuntary manslaughter charge and they're all 100% open for wrongful death civil suits.
They deserve the charges.
I will virtually guaran-goddamn-tee you those three had no significant security training whatsoever, otherwise it wouldn't take 3 of them to deal with Uncle Leo. This has nothing to do with intent or an actual beating (which I doubt occurred and at no point said did).
Hmm, I guess even I can be wrong. They did indeed beat the shit out of him. Maybe they were practicing being cops.

Affidavits say he fell and then was aggressively pinned down by the three employees: Nathan Higgins, 35, Crucelis Nunez, 23, and Randall Toko, 58.

According to the arrest reports, a witness saw a female employee jump on Wisham's back, knocking him to the ground before punching him multiple times as Wisham held his hands over his head. Then another employee kneed him in the back, the witness said. The third held Wisham by his ankles, a store manager who also witnessed the incident told police.
Now that these details are being reported I agree they deserve the charges.

Store security has every right to detain and defend itself when attacked, but that doesn't mean they get to beat someone down for shoplifting.

To me, this moves the needle to them being more responsible, although I still don't absolve the victim from all blame.

If I worked for Walmart, I bet I'd have a lot of pent up anger.

You seem to have a higher tolerance for bullshit. Mine is set very, very low.
