This is definitely not the kind of helpful, "going out of their way" hospitality this nigger had been led to expect from Wal Mart employees. Shoots, what's the deal with those racist Wal Mart employees? Maybe that nigger had been deer hunting and unexpectedly gotten himself a big buck.
Wal-Mart workers called deputies after the man walked into the store and bought some clothes, bandages and trash bags around 4 a.m. He paid with a $100 bill that also appeared to be bloodstained, they said, and drove off in a pickup.
...Inside the trash bin was a pair of bloody sneakers that matched the footprints at Wal-Mart.

Naples teenager Cory Brightman was watching movies at a friend’s house Thursday night before he ended up in a lethal struggle with a Collier County man in an apartment parking lot, his father said Saturday.
Sheddrick Deon Bentley, 26, is accused of killing Brightman.
“He was not friends with that guy,” said Brightman’s father, Eric Brightman, 41. “They were acquaintances. The guy shouldn’t have been hanging around 18-year-old kids.”
Bentley is charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bail in the Collier County Jail in connection with the death of Brightman, 18, a recent graduate of Naples High School.
Eric Brightman said Bentley wanted his son’s truck, which may have led to the fatal fight. He said the house where his son was watching movies is about 75 yards from Bentley’s house.

Bentley had worn bloody clothes into the store to buy garbage bags, shorts and a T-shirt, they told police. Employees wrote down the tag number of the truck he was driving, which belonged to Brightman, and called police.
After his arrest, Bentley led police to a trash bin behind Gulf Gate Plaza in Naples, where they found Brightman’s body wrapped in trash bags.[/COLOR]
Eric Brightman said his son had been stabbed 100 times. Sheriff’s spokesman Dennis Huff said he could not confirm the total number of wounds.
“He was stabbed several times. That’s all we know,” Huff said.
Brightman took custody of his son’s body Saturday afternoon after an autopsy was performed by the medical examiner.

“He was fighting back,” Brightman said. “He had holes in his hands. (Bentley) went crazy on my kid.”
Bentley made his first court appearance Saturday. A judge denied bail for Bentley on the murder charge and a parole violation out of Duval County, said Collier County sheriff’s spokeswoman Sheri Mausen.
Mausen said Bentley gave his address as 1363 Chesapeake Ave., Naples. That’s the same address as his uncle, Albert Bentley, an Immokalee High School graduate who played running back at the University of Miami and then for the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL.
Bentley also is charged with tampering with evidence, grand theft auto and resisting a law enforcement officer without violence.
Cory Brightman had taken Saturday off at his landscaping job at Driftwood Garden Center in Naples so he and his father could transfer the truck’s title into his name.
“He saved up and bought that truck himself,” Eric Brightman said. “He was a good American boy. He was very thoughtful and caring.”
According to the arrest report, Brightman and Bentley fought in front of an apartment on Wild Pine Court. A witness told deputies she saw two men fighting.
“He left from there and disposed of my son,” Brightman said.
Bentley, a fast-food restaurant employee, is accused of stabbing Brightman and dumping his body and other crime scene evidence in the trash bin. Deputies found Bentley walking on the Gordon River Bridge with scrapes on his hands. He fled on foot, later being caught in Naples Land Yacht Harbor.
Deputies found the pickup with blood on the front seat at a motel parking lot.
Eric Brightman said his son will be remembered in a private family service, but the date has not been set. The family plans to cremate his body and spread the ashes into the ocean. Cory Brightman also is survived by his mother, Lisa Jo, and his 15-year-old sister, Jessica.
“It’s not supposed to happen in Naples,” Eric Brightman said. “That’s why we live here.”
