11:00Now PlayingJames Denison, a 16-year-old disabled deli worker for the Meijer supermarket chain, was arrested after Meijer management accused him of taking $110 worth of discarded food over several months. Police bodycam footage shows James calmly explaining he had only eaten food that was being thrown away, but the store chose to treat it as theft.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger feel that the corporation and manager acted without compassion by setting up a sting to catch Denison rather than simply addressing the issue or helping him. The incident has sparked public outrage, with many calling for boycotts of Meijer and highlighting the injustice of criminalizing vulnerable workers while corporations exploit workers with impunity.
