Good Samaritan buys $80 of candy from teary young girl ‘who was being harassed by an elderly woman for selling the treats outside Target’
Girl was selling candy outside a California Target when she was approached by a grey haired shopper
Witnesses say older woman was yelling at and 'harassing' the youngster
She even threatened to call the cops on the girl who started crying
Shopper Jay Lopez intervened offered to buy all the girl's candy for $80

The elderly shopper even threatened to call the police before good Samaritan Jay Lopez intervened.
'When I walked up, she was crying hysterically,' he said.
Lopez stepped in and offered to buy the entire box of candy - which cost $80 - to put an end to the confrontation once and for all.


I'm buying it all!' he said during the incident, which was captured on film by Lizarraga and has been viewed more than 6million times since she posted it to Facebook.
'I'm gonna come out right now and get your cash,' said Lopez, who told the older woman she should 'be ashamed' of herself.
He proceeded to hand out many of the sweets to shoppers and passersby.
Lopez believes that, if the seller, who was black, had been a white girl selling Girl Scout cookies then the elderly shopper would have had little to say.
'I'm not putting race into this, but I bet it would've been a whole different story.'

Video of Old Woman Scolding Kids for Selling Candy Outside of Target Goes Viral

Last week, a boy was selling candy with his sister outside a Target store in Rowland Heights, California, when they were approached by an angry elderly woman. Witnesses watched as the woman proceeded to lecture the children, demanding to see a license to sell.

Andy Lizarraga, who was leaving the Target with her mom at the time, recorded a cellphone video of the exchange and posted it to Facebook. In less than a week, the clip amassed more than 5.5 million views and 70,000 shares.


The altercation began when the woman walked up to confront the kids.

“She comes up to the little kid and is like, ‘Where is your license? Have you asked permission to be here?’ And then the kid is like, ‘No, I’m just selling candy. I’m trying to make some money,’ ” Lizarraga told KCBS-TV.

In her Facebook post, Lizarraga added that the woman “started harassing him to the point where he started to cry.”

When other shoppers entering and exiting the store began to notice what was happening, a group of people approached the woman, telling her to leave the young candy vendors alone, according to Lizarraga.

After this, a man walked over to give the woman a piece of his mind. Then he bought $80 worth of candy.

“I’m buying it all,” the man said, taunting the woman. “I’m gonna buy it all, and I’m gonna give it away to all these people. You should be ashamed of yourself.”



The man who purchased the candy, Jay Lopez, described to KCBS what he witnessed that caused him to intervene.

“She continued to yell at her and scream at her and tell her if she didn’t have a permit, that she was going to go to jail, that sheriffs were on their way,” Lopez said. “When I walked up, she was crying hysterically.”

That’s when he decided to put an end to the argument and purchase all of the candy.

“Mind your own business. Take care of yourself and your family and everything will come together for you,” Lopez said.

1. Get the hell out of here, lady!

and I'll complain as I have in the past, that woman doesn't appear to be 'elderly' to me. Takes more than grey hair to attain that status.

[Liberal_in_LA]

2. Edited out the "elderly". She is justmean to the core. Hateful

[elleng]

12. Thanks.

Yes, hateful.

[Takket]

3. "no thank you" always works

if you don't want to buy any candy.

[Liberal_in_LA]

4. On the video she say “They do this all around the country and you should see how they live,”

Lopez then offers to buy all of the young girl’s candy. But not before the old woman made another offhand comment.

“They do this all around the country and you should see how they live,” the old woman said.

You have to wonder who “they” are. But then again, you probably don’t need to wonder.

After buying all the candy, Lopez then took the sweets and handed them out to everyone coming in and out of the Target store.

Take a look at the video below:

5. One looking just like her held on to the pink cotton blouse I was wearing while my sis

and I were shopping. She wanted to know where I got it - I slapped her hand off my shirt, gave her the look and she apologized profusely. Sis did laugh. It was in Orlando a few years ago - I went up for her first born's graduation from UF.

6. Who let Babs Bush out of Texas?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

10. I imagine her friends agree with her about how horrible "they" are

"You know how those people are..."

[elmac]

7. How in the hell could anyone do that to a kid

or even an adult selling Candy. I would have praised her business smarts. About the old witch, yes I can call her that, the wicked witch of candy land, she deserves a lot of bad karma coming her way.

[Initech]

8. What a horrible POS.

[Cartoonist]

9. Trump has enabled this BS

Racists now have courage to say what they want, just like Donald.

[liberalmuse]

11. What a piece of shit.

What happened to elderly people setting a good example for the younger generations? I remember a time when this was the case, but something very bad happened. Instead, a lot of them are racists and just plain evil as Drumpf seems to have no end of support from a certain generation of people ready to hit the grave. Good fucking riddance to all of them. This lady should be ashamed of herself. She's not long for hell, so maybe she should be kind. God I fucking hate racists.

[REP]

16. Young assholes turn into old assholes; age doesn't make someone a better person

This has been true all my life; as it was all my mother's life; as it was all her mother's life; as it was all her mother's life ...

Is Phyllis Schafley now a good person?
Is Henry Kissinger?
Is George Bush (either)?
etc

[jtuck004]

13. "'I'm not putting race into this, " < I will.She did it because the kid was black. Grey-haired

bully.

[Crash2Parties]

14. Link is to TheBlaze...lots of racist comments

[SickOfTheOnePct]

15. Crazy old woman

If she had a problem with the kid selling candy outside of the store, she should have complained to the store, not to the kid.

[Person 2713]

17. Pretty sure Mr Lopez, who stepped in and the person filming, Ms Lizarraga

knew what was going down there. More spotlights on these shameful types

[Meldread]

18. What a hateful old woman.

Hopefully she won't be around much longer.

[Snarkoleptic]

19. Sounds like she's shamed her family by verbally assaulting the teen.

Here's the news clip and at around 1:50, the reporter says the abuser's daughter has requested the videographer take down the video.
Fat chance! Leave it up and maybe she and others will think twice before letting their monster out.

[Liberal_in_LA]

21. Too late to take down video. It went viral

[lpbk2713]

20. Last time I saw her she wanted to impound Dorothy's dog.

She'd better watch out a house doesn't fall on her.

[smirkymonkey]

22. What a good man!

I hope that horrible old woman learned her lesson and won't be harassing young children of color anymore.
