Good.

I doubt that's illegal.

It was pretty rude for him to tell all the black people to leave. I would have been more polite and just said the store was out of grape soda.:)

[UtahApocalypse]

Good.

Can you tell me what crime was committed?

The other 3-4 threads about this weren't really enough...

Can you tell me what crime was committed?

Taking the property of a private owner to use it to intentionally harass the private owner's customers?

Can you tell me what crime was committed?

Private property. You can't just get on their intercom and start spewing whatever you want.

Sounds like a civil case between owner and defendant to me.

The other 3-4 threads about this weren't really enough...Sorry, I didn't realize they existed. :o

Should all these kids have been arrested also?
