Hertfordshire, UK – A store security officer has been terminated and across-the-board apologies have been issued by company executives after the guard refused to allow two young Jewish students to enter a Sports Direct outlet in Hertfordshire on Friday.

THEJC.com (http://bit.ly/XomwW0) reports that according to David Rosen, an attorney whose son was one of the two boys denied access to the store, both boys were told repeatedly “No Jews, no Jews” by the guard due to the fact that their Yavneh College school uniforms were visible.
Rosen posted on Facebook that other boys from Yavneh, whose uniforms were covered by coats, walked into the store unfettered.
Rosen praised the store manager for taking swift action to remove the guard after his son complained.
Rosen said that since the incident he has been contacted by Sports Direct senior independent director Simon Bentley who not only apologized, but assured him that the matter has been investigated at the highest level and that the guard has since been terminated.
A spokesman for Sports Direct confirmed the security officer’s firing, calling his remarks “deeply offensive and disrespectful.”
I’ve seen firsthand for decades the type of trash that SOME companies hire as so called security guards. Many of them are nothing but low class thugs, this includes some of the females they hire as well.
One doesn’t have to go to the UK, to encounter low class private security guards. The City of New York, even grants them permits to carry firearms! Some of them are the lowest of the lowest, and are no different than street thugs!
Dad is a lawyer, that’s the only reason there was this outcome. The security guard picked on the wrong kid.
