The clothing store, Forever 21, is getting a lot of crap lately now that a video showing how their security staff takes care of things. In Hollywood Blvd. outlet, a undercover security guard tackles a deaf guy and puts him in a choke hold because he could not hear the metal detector go off.

You can see that the deaf guy was in a group of other deaf people and his one friend was trying to fight the security with him trying to show them the receipts of all the items purchased. They were told repeatedly he was deaf and continued to wrestle with him.

The man who recorded this stated this:

Staff must have seen them do something to suspect them of stealing, but that doesn’t have any support or facts. Before I started filming. The Big Black dude in Jeans who mighta been a store detective jumps and tackles the large hispanic deaf guy. from there I remembered my new phone and turned on the camera,

There was who looked to be the manager of XXI that said to turn off the camera because they didn’t want to get exposed for harassing and dealing with a situation that turned sour.

From there, you get to see the turn of events and then in the aftermath, the sorting out of exactly what happen. From what I saw that you guys can’t, the deaf guy in the white shirt was apparently assuring the store with receipts for what he was carrying.

This is a little too much in my opinion. The poor deaf guy probably had no clue why he was being tackled and that is why he kept on fighting. The security guard looks like a normal person with no identification. I know I would be scared crapless and fighting if some one was tackling me. I can see a huge lawsuit off of this one. I mean this guy could easily say he is traumatized. I know I would.
