Jaw-Dropping Viral Video Shows White Man Allegedly Stealing Gas From A Black Woman, His Employer Places Him On Unpaid Leave
A Georgia-based company released a statement after one of its employees went viral for allegedly stealing gas from a Black woman, RadarOnline.com has learned.
In the clip, a woman could be heard explaining what happened as she videotaped him and accused him of pumping her prepaid gas into his van — with a visible ENTEK label.
The man pulled the pump across to his vehicle and appeared to use up her remaining amount as she documented their tense interaction which took place at QuikTrip on North Druid Hills Road in Brookhaven.
He later mumbled something under his breath about white privilege before driving off.
Film director Rahiem Shabazz shared the video on his Instagram grid and told his followers "she provided the video and now, it's up to us to identify and find this individual."
"She did the right thing by not engaging him though," one social media user commented. "So glad she filmed it," another wrote.
"I can't honestly say I would have believed it without the video," a third noted. "It's so brazen and outrageous. I can't imagine how this woman felt."
