Tl;dr: 75-yo old woman attacks the employees over a sandwich, rips hair from one of them, put that hair in her purse, calls the police and dies.

At that point, two other employees intervened, and as they were pulled apart, a “chunk of hair” was pulled from the shift lead’s head, “leaving a raw area.”

Once separated, the employees got behind the counter and Grayson sat down, taking a phone call. She was seen picking up the shift lead’s hair and putting it in her bag, police said.

There is literally nothing in the article about psychosis.

You are writing prose based on nothing but your desire to muddy the water and refusal to believe someone old cant be a fucking aggressive asshole just because they are simply an asshole.

And let me tell you, Plenty of young, aggressive assholes grow into old aggressive assholes who are still convinced they can slap people around and get what they want, like they did with their children when they were 4.

Except the part where the lady died. That was a hint. People who are actively dying rarely behave "normally".

Yes, why wont we have any sympathy for the poor woman. Those dirty employees should have just taken her verbal and physical abuse. HAVE THEY NO RESPECT FOR THEIR BETTERS?!

SHE WOULDNT HAVE DIED IF YOU'D HAVE JUST LET HER BEAT YOU, YOU PEASANT! 😭

It must be so exhausting to put words in people's mouths then tell them those words are wrong. You should take a break. You earned it.
