WTF? Taco Bell Manager Allegedly Told Employees To Trap Sleeping Homeless Man In Dumpster

Darrin Hailey, Taco Bell Manager, Allegedly Told Employees To Trap Homeless Man In Receptacle
The Huffington Post

A Taco Bell manager in Redding, Calif., is under fire after allegedly ordering employees to lock a homeless man in the restaurant's waste receptacle.

The man, whose name was only given as "Josh," was allegedly trapped in a cardboard recycling bin for more than an hour on Saturday morning, according to Redding.com.

Jacob Cook, a teenager eating breakfast at the Taco Bell, said he overheard an employee tell restaurant manager Darrin Hailey that a homeless man was sleeping in the waste receptacle. Cook claims Hailey laughed and told the employee to put the bar over the container and close the gate around it.

Cook followed the Taco Bell employee outside and was shocked by what he saw.

"He didn't even open the Dumpster, talk to the guy or anything, he just closed this bar, latched the gate and then walked back inside," he told KRC-TV.

And why aren't they in jail?

Why haven't the cops Rodney Kinged their asses?

(Probably why I don't want to be a cop, by the way, 'cause I don't think I could control myself.)
