"A frail black man awaiting a kidney transplant was detained and beaten by hospital security guards who mistook him for a car thief, it's claimed. Hughie Robinson, 52, had just been sent home from Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St Louis, Missouri, in April 2021 for a planned transplant that failed to happen, when he was allegedly attacked by security guards. He left his wallet and was contacted by staff who asked him to return and park his Buick in a different garage to the one he usually used, according to a lawsuit filed by his daughter Chelsea Robinson.
Robinson did so, but when it was time to go home, forgot where he'd parked, and wandered back to the other garage he'd previously parked in, the suit claims. Robinson - who died earlier this year, before he could receive the transplant - then went to the front desk to ask for help. He was escorted around the parking lot by a security guard - but they still could not find his car. Eventually, he caught the attention of some of the security guards at the hospital, those guards suspected he was casing the garage and looking to steal cars, Chelsea's suit claims. They never asked him for his parking garage ticket and did not seem to notice he was wearing a patient bracelet, the Post-Dispatch reports, before they attacked him."
Yea, because we all know it is common for car thieves to ask security guards to escort them around the parking lot before they steal a car....So after all of that, not only did they beat him; including one security guard ramming his head into a wall; all while still wearing his fucking hospital bracelet with his parking ticket still in his fucking pocket...but instead of asking for any of it, they beat him instead.....and then they told him if they saw him at the hospital again, they would beat him again....problem is, he had to come to back to the hospital for treatment...
Imagine dying from renal failure, and in need of a transplant and the hospital you are hoping will save your life -- also has guards there hoping to take it....because you may not know this, but beating someone who has 4th stage kidney failure isn't healthy for that person.......and to make matters even worse...the hospital instead of doing the right thing, tried to block the victim's family from seeing the video and also filed a protective order to try to keep the public from seeing the video...which is absolutely something you don't do if you feel your security guards did nothing wrong.....all attempts failed...and the lawsuit continues..and I hope his family gets every penny and I hope those wanna be cops get thrown under the jail......
