@Diane E I am sure that he is just being sarcastic you know sort of like black humor. I blame the American education system (23 IN THE WORLD FOR THE WORLDS RICHEST COUNTRY THAT IS A DISGRACE UNDER BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS)for a lot of Americas racism and problems.
@scott fisher "This is what the fedex driver said we don't know anything about his credibility" - While that statement is true, I can't help but wonder -- would you have posted that comment if he were a white man in a business suit?
I just read that FedEx has reinstated pay for this driver after a substantial public outcry. How pitiful that they didn’t do the right thing in the first place
FedEx is my least favorite. They are not reliable and not responsible when things get lost I always ask if my delivery can be switched to the u.s. post office or UPS.
And this is more of an incentive to have a federal investigation done on Fed-Ex. This should have been done correctly period! Replace racism with justice or else?

Published: Feb. 11, 2022 at 3:49 PM CST|Updated: 21 minutes ago BROOKHAVEN, Miss. (WLBT) - FedEx has agreed to pay one of their workers retroactively after he’d been on unpaid leave. D’Monterrio Gibson, the Black FedEx driver who was fired upon by a white man after making a delivery in Brookhaven, had been on unpaid leave since his vehicle was shot. Attorney Carlos Moore says FedEx has reinstated his pay retroactively to January 31, so Gibson will continue getting paychecks and was paid for the time he’s missed so far. Moore also says Gibson is getting therapy, and the company is paying for those sessions.
Fed ex is missing a moment here. Imagine if Fed ex lawyers were behind this young man. The racist father and son knows, or is related to the police 🚓. FBI needs to be called in.
Dude, I view an average of 4 hours per day police misconduct, corruption, and brutality. 7 days per week 52 weeks per year. No reruns .don't act like this is an isolated incident .
Those racists Caucasian father and son dual murderers seem to look alike, as do the "Karens." The murder trial of the others is just ending and already, more are showing up. That needs to be investigated. Like, why do they all look alike? As I completed the last sentence,the news caster mentioned one of the cases I was referring to. FedEx should be paying the victim. REPENT racists and surrender your hearts to the blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
This traumatic event happened while working as an employee of Fedex. Having D'Monterrio drive the same route where the shooting occurred forces this young man to relieve his trauma. Then, to place him on unpaid leave while he recovers is inhumane. Shame on you Fedex!
Convenience stores that are corporately owned and not independent do the same thing. They don't change shifts or stores for the employee that experienced a shooting or robbery. The company will cite some study saying it's better to get back up on the horse immediately and seek therapy to help you cope. They say employees that take time off typically don't come.back to the position so not allowing leave or allowing only brief unpaid leave is seen as part of employee retention. Pretty crazy, huh?
People are dumping here on FedEx, but consider this. It's likely the local FedEx management (people also from Mississippi) dragged their feet on doing anything or sending word up the corporate ladder, much like the cops. D'Monterrio says he won't go back on that route, so the local supervisors say, "OK, then take some unpaid time off." It should have been an automatic worker's comp case, so therapy and at least partial wages should never have been at issue. It seems the fact this happened in Mississippi is a lot of the problem here. The cops were proof of that.
It's a setup!!!! They wanted him to get killed!!!! The corporation is corrupt as hell!!!!! The president and the board members and CEO, of FedEx should all be sued!!!!!!
This happened to my Nephew in Georgia and FedEx wanted him to continue the same route too. My Nephew quit but FedEx need to be held accountable. They are putting these young men lives at risk. They need to let the racists find another way to get packages!
The action Fed x take on these situations goes to show you fed x is a company young black men and women don't want to work for goes to show you just how much they got your back, bottom line don't work for this company because you got a bullseye 🎯 on your back.
They need to sue FedX sick they tried to put this little young dude back on the same route if he was White and the covers or black there's no way they would have let them turned theyself in when they got ready this is the same damn thing that happened to arbor and now they're trying to do it to him this company need to be sued the stone make no damn sense you need to see them and to the state because this is ridiculous they don't give a damn a black people die down there or not
The most egregious part is the fact these men are out on bail. Clearly attempted murder. Typically bail is revoked in these kinds of cases, if the defendant is black.
As a resident in Europe, hearing this case of dangerous, unprovoked aggression on a working man, and consequent police negligence is absolutely shocking and incomprehensible. The young man looks seriously traumatised knowing he is a sitting duck for armed racist psychos.

This is why I quit my Amazon job. I’m a white male, and delivering in cannonsburg, PA I had a firearm pulled on me for trespassing on someone’s property when the delivery instructions stated to leave on the back post he so the wife wouldn’t see. The man apologized and said he forgot he requested the package to be delivered to the rear door and I said “you’re lucky I’m not allowed to carry my firearm or you would have been shot dead”. Delivery drivers are at risk 24/7 especially in the areas we drive in and there is no form of protection.
Jesus Christ. SMH What the hell is wrong with people? I saw a situation similar to this years ago where a guy was screaming and and threatening to shoot some black guy that was messing around in his mailbox everyday. Turns out that actually the mailman just delivered his mail late and because the sun was low he couldn't tell that that guy was indeed White. SMH We have to do better.
allowed? cary it anyway what kind of man lets a company tell you not to deffend yourself. your story is the exact reason i cary weather im allowed to or not. i dont ask permission i just do. i can find another job i cant find another life.

Apparently FedEx has now given this man his backpay....after initially handling this VERY STUPIDLY. The case needs to be handled by the state and fed governments, NOT the local hayseeds. Side note: this happened in the hometown of the thoroughly despicable Cindy Hyde-Smith. 🤢
Unfortunately, the State and Federal Governments are Just as Corrupt as the Hometown Cops. Just try reporting a complaint against any State or Federal employee or Entity and you will begin to understand.

“Unpaid leave”??? Way to stand by your employees FedEx. What a proud moment for the Delivery service industry. Would expect that from Bezos but, not FedEx
Open a gofundme page for this guy. I will never use Fedex for their services. What an awful display of systemic racism for allowing the possibility of an aggrieved employee to be put on unpaid leave.

1) FedEx has him on unpaid leave after sending him on the same route a day after the murder attempt. 2) The police not taking him serious when he tried to report the attack. 3) The system charges one with attempting to cause bodily injury and the other with conspiring instead of charging them both with attempted murder. Despicable. Revolting.
Sue FEDEX, the assailants, and prepare to sue city's police and others if they screw up the case. Also file Federal charges! Hate crime charges as well. Throw the book at them.
@scott fisher How could a white father and son shooting at a black Fed Ex worker NOT be a hate crime? Could you explain why this is a liberal view? I just cannot understand why ANYONE OF ANY COLOR wouldn’t be terrified if shot at.
Why would they put him on unpaid leave? That is baffling. He gets shot at and chased. This sounds like a federal crime and should be looked into by the Department of Justice because this is clearly a hate crime.
Because fed ex doesn’t give a shit about their employees. That’s why it’s call fed ex, because almost everyone that works there ends up being fed up ex employees.
The good ole boy police dept isn't taking this seriously, what a surprise. If this isn't a hate crime I don't know what is. It really is hard to believe what is happening in this country. It's like nothing has changed since the 1950s in some places.

These companies will NEVER do the right thing on their own merit The court of public opinion and pressure has to be applied. Damn shame!!!! I pray for JUSTICE!!!!
Attempted murder would have probably been the charge if he was struck by at least one bullet & survived they never shot him directly which is the likely reason it's not.
@@billsloan BS on that. Being a bad killer doesn't get you off the hook for charges with teeth. Living in a town that's law enforcement doesn't even want to take a report of white men shooting at an unarmed back man? Playing by a different set of rules than what is on the law books. In this case, it's using a good.ole boy system of operation.
It's the same logic that we see when these cops shoot unarmed men, ask if they are OK, and then perform life saving techniques trying to save them, worriedly pleading for the victims to "stay with them". A firearm has one job. To stop life. For all the complaints that someone uses their firearm to feed their family or protect themselves... yes, you do use it for that. But the way you use the gun to do this things is by trying to end something else's life.
“…when did that stop…” Think about where they’re at, then re ask yourself that question. That was never considered attempted murder in Mississippi, unless the person with the gun is black.
@@billsloan Why should it not be attempted murder simply because the accused was too inept to hit him. They fired so many rounds that I think you could at least make the argument and let the jury decide.
I live how the reporter is shocked to hear he is on unpaid leave. She was so shocked she barely was able to form a sentence after. Absolutely disgusting. This incident is wrong on so many levels and absolutely disgusting to say the least.
I was shot at several times on my route, even had bullets lodged in the back door, I went and did the same route the next day and many more days after that

It’s already crazy that they would even have him go back to work the very next day. Incomprehensible that would be in the same route. They always have back up drivers who know all the routes to cover drivers when they have their days off. I used to work for them.
How dare they give this man unpaid leave after suffering something so traumatic. Do anyone know if there’s a gofundme or something set up for this young man?

And I really hope the people responsible get jail time for attempted murder because that's exactly what their motive was shooting at this young man. SO terrible.
I’m so sorry this poor young man had to go through such a terrifying experience. For the police to not taken seriously, this tragically will stick sigh him for the rest of his life in the form of PTSD. It is most definitely a hate crime, and to be on unpaid leavek? That’s insanity. I hope this young man is able to work through this
The same police are probably in the same 'militia groups" as the shooters. They go to same "church" kids go to the same school. How do you realistically think they would believe the victim. This happens way more than people want to believe. This is Merica

They should not only pay his salary while this incident is being investigated, but they should also ensure his needs are met while he recuperates. Some of these companies do not care about their employees.
Why does it matter if he was wearing his FedEx uniform? He is still a person and he should never have been treated like that, why weren't they charged with attempted murder? Or aggravated assault

What kind of question is that, if someone is chasing you, trying to cut you off and start shooting at you, yes they were trying to bring harm to that young man. Sue FedEx, sue those two men and sue the police station for not taking that situation serious. He needs to seek employment somewhere else wouldn't work for them.
Sounds like fedex isn’t standing by their employee, also sounds like they should be sued! How can they place him on unpaid leave after he was shot at while doing his job in a fedex uniform.

This is an American citizen at work, almost getting shot, and to add insult to injury, he isn't even getting paid leave! That, to me, is beyond traumatic for anyone to be shot at, especially as they are in the area due to work. This is unacceptable all the way around. Hopefully this is a wake-up call to all Americans.

@@quinnstokes4719 I was just about to say that. It is a disgrace whenever there’s a person of color talking, they mention how intelligent sounding they are as if it is not ordinary or it’s shocking or something. That is proof of the racial stereotype that people of color are inarticulate and unintelligent. Ridiculous.
I worked for many years as a truck driver for Fedex Ground, people there at corporate level are like robots , they mostly work with contractors so they can fire you for whatever reason without benefits and on top of that racism is very common.
It's not just contractors. Upper management is completely incompetent and completely disconnected from the actual operations. Middle managers get thrown into the middle of their horrible decisions and employees. I've seen managers try to discourage people from seeing doctors because they didn't want an injury reported. When they abruptly switched to a 7 day workweek they decided to tell people that they were suddenly expected to work 6 days a week until they hired people to work the extra days. The plan was to tell people that the extra day was "mandatory", but not to write it up as an absence. I've seen so many people get pulled off door while they're in trailers. It's happened to me a couple times. The reason for that is kind of complicated, but a short explanation is that linehaul will send drivers to go wait for a trailer to be finished before it's actually closed in order to prevent the drivers from running out of hours. They get anxious and don't wait for it to be actually closed. There are so many more examples.
🗣He was placed on leave without pay because he allowed those bullets to hit that poor undeserving truck. So if you're Black and work for FedEx, make sure you catch every bullet that's intended for YOU, so that the truck is saved!
He was only in this area walking around delivering packages, his job. He would not have been doing this if he wasn't working. Unbelievable that FedEx is not paying him for an incident that happened on his route. While it wasn't FedEx who attempted to kill this young man, it happened in his work vehicle. You would think the company would want to make sure this man is in his right mind while driving around in thier property. Unbelievable about the company. The local Mississippi police reaction is not surprising. They are doing about as much as we can expect in this day and age. Im sure it would have been different if a police officer was attacked in this way. The company treating him this way is just salt in his wound. Definitely going to be following this case. I have PTSD from DV where guns were involved. You learn how to live but the trauma is there forever. Sending out some virtual support to this man and his lawyer.
Glad he has an attorney. Hope he's a good one and that he files a civil lawsuit. He definitely deserves restitution for his lost wages and those criminals who attacked him should pay heavily and then some. Of course, those criminals should also spend the rest of their lives in jail for attempted murder.

People are dumping here on FedEx, but consider this. It's likely the local FedEx management (people also from Mississippi) dragged their feet on doing anything or sending word up the corporate ladder, much like the cops. D'Monterrio says he won't go back on that route, so the local supervisors say, "OK, then take some unpaid time off." It should have been an automatic worker's comp case, so therapy and at least partial wages should never have been at issue. It seems the fact this happened in Mississippi is a lot of the problem here. The cops were proof of that.
It's a setup!!!! They wanted him to get killed!!!! The corporation is corrupt as hell!!!!! The president and the board members and CEO, of FedEx should all be sued!!!!!!

The most egregious part is the fact these men are out on bail. Clearly attempted murder. Typically bail is revoked in these kinds of cases, if the defendant is black.

BROOKHAVEN, Miss. (WLBT) - FedEx has agreed to pay one of their workers retroactively after he’d been on unpaid leave.
D’Monterrio Gibson, the Black FedEx driver who was fired upon by a white man after making a delivery in Brookhaven, had been on unpaid leave since his vehicle was shot.
Attorney Carlos Moore says FedEx has reinstated his pay retroactively to January 31, so Gibson will continue getting paychecks and was paid for the time he’s missed so far.
Moore also says Gibson is getting therapy, and the company is paying for those sessions.
I can't believe that the guy was just working and this is how Fed Ex reacts? Smh. UPS it is!
Thank you....neither will I.
Systemic racism?
1) FedEx has him on unpaid leave after sending him on the same route a day after the murder attempt.
2) The police not taking him serious when he tried to report the attack.
3) The system charges one with attempting to cause bodily injury and the other with conspiring instead of charging them both with attempted murder.

Attempted murder would have probably been the charge if he was struck by at least one bullet & survived they never shot him directly which is the likely reason it's not.
@@billsloan BS on that. Being a bad killer doesn't get you off the hook for charges with teeth. Living in a town that's law enforcement doesn't even want to take a report of white men shooting at an unarmed back man? Playing by a different set of rules than what is on the law books. In this case, it's using a good.ole boy system of operation.
It's the same logic that we see when these cops shoot unarmed men, ask if they are OK, and then perform life saving techniques trying to save them, worriedly pleading for the victims to "stay with them".
A firearm has one job. To stop life. For all the complaints that someone uses their firearm to feed their family or protect themselves... yes, you do use it for that. But the way you use the gun to do this things is by trying to end something else's life.

"Do you think they were trying to kill you? What do you think was THEIR motive?"
SERIOUSLY LADY...
What kind of questions is she asking 🙄🙄🙄...
Sounds like fedex isn’t standing by their employee, also sounds like they should be sued! How can they place him on unpaid leave after he was shot at while doing his job in a fedex uniform.
Capitalism
Unpaid leave???? 🤬🤬🤬
He needs time and therapy. This is so damn scary. When he said what he said about Ahmaud 😞. I'm so glad he survived this and those guys must be prosecuted!
He could have ballistic lead currency!
And people have the nerve to say "America is the greatest nation on earth!"
America is "great" alright, great in all the wrong categories. And yet this is allowed to go unchecked and unpunished.
This is utterly sickening!
Then move somewhere else
Marketing speak. That's all it is.
@@moonmanthebigot6114
You've wouldn't have said that if it had happened to you. Not much of a "truth speaker" are you?
@@moonmanthebigot6114, I find it really hard to understand people like you who take offense and make such stupid comments like you did, when someone points out a wrong in our society or criticizes our country for a persistent, shameful and heartbreaking injustice perpetuated against a section of our own citizenry!!! Yet, the author did not say anything denigrating the honor of our nation! People like you make the rest of us sick and you clearly, and absolutely, have no conscience!!!
@@lordshango4184 hey if I felt like he did & was in his shoes I would move somewhere else
This reminds me of Aubery's case. Thank God he got away though. 🙏 Hope, he gets the justice he deserves. Wise, young man to take his Mental Health serious. FedEx, should pay for his Lawyers fees!!
This poor man was just doing his job! I can't believe that this even happened. This should really open all of our eyes, no matter what the color of our skin! FedEx's behavior is unbelievable. This is an American citizen at work, almost getting shot, and to add insult to injury, he isn't even getting paid leave! That, to me, is beyond traumatic for anyone to be shot at, especially as they are in the area due to work. This is unacceptable all the way around. Hopefully this is a wake-up call to all Americans.
If ever circumstances deserved a no knock, shoot first, warrant, this is it.
You should read about how violently white americans responded to black and latina americans pushing for the voting rights act in the 60s and how they responded to the integration of public schools in the 70s
Notably the next day on the same route - the guys who shot at him hadn't been arrested yet...
From Europe
Apart from his current problem, Mr Gibson is an intelligent, well spoken gentleman.
Give him justice and fairness.
Pay him while on sick leave and imprison his attackers.
Even if he wasn't" well spoken and seemingly intelligent," he should still receive justice
ua-cam.com/video/5msG-QiXs3wh/v-deo.htmlttps://ua-cam.com/video/peRHUsTGAsY/v-deo.html
Why does receiving justice depend on someone being intelligent abs well spoken?
Reporter: if they were black and you were white, would this turned out different
Mr. Gibson: Yes ma’am, I would’ve been arrested the same night.
Right… intelligent and well spoken indeed…
@@quinnstokes4719 I was just about to say that. It is a disgrace whenever there’s a person of color talking, they mention how intelligent sounding they are as if it is not ordinary or it’s shocking or something. That is proof of the racial stereotype that people of color are inarticulate and unintelligent. Ridiculous.
I worked for many years as a truck driver for Fedex Ground, people there at corporate level are like robots , they mostly work with contractors so they can fire you for whatever reason without benefits and on top of that racism is very common.

It's not just contractors. Upper management is completely incompetent and completely disconnected from the actual operations. Middle managers get thrown into the middle of their horrible decisions and employees. I've seen managers try to discourage people from seeing doctors because they didn't want an injury reported. When they abruptly switched to a 7 day workweek they decided to tell people that they were suddenly expected to work 6 days a week until they hired people to work the extra days. The plan was to tell people that the extra day was "mandatory", but not to write it up as an absence. I've seen so many people get pulled off door while they're in trailers. It's happened to me a couple times. The reason for that is kind of complicated, but a short explanation is that linehaul will send drivers to go wait for a trailer to be finished before it's actually closed in order to prevent the drivers from running out of hours. They get anxious and don't wait for it to be actually closed. There are so many more examples.
🗣He was placed on leave without pay because he allowed those bullets to hit that poor undeserving truck. So if you're Black and work for FedEx, make sure you catch every bullet that's intended for YOU, so that the truck is saved!
He was only in this area walking around delivering packages, his job. He would not have been doing this if he wasn't working. Unbelievable that FedEx is not paying him for an incident that happened on his route. While it wasn't FedEx who attempted to kill this young man, it happened in his work vehicle. You would think the company would want to make sure this man is in his right mind while driving around in thier property. Unbelievable about the company. The local Mississippi police reaction is not surprising. They are doing about as much as we can expect in this day and age. Im sure it would have been different if a police officer was attacked in this way. The company treating him this way is just salt in his wound. Definitely going to be following this case. I have PTSD from DV where guns were involved. You learn how to live but the trauma is there forever. Sending out some virtual support to this man and his lawyer.
Well said!
🗣This is definitely a HATE CRIME! Young man, please be careful! Hold these monsters and Fed Ex accountable!
And the cops trying to blow things off.
@@techfoolcasey4348….not just trying to blow things off, but just “straight up” lying!
He can't hold Fed ex accountable for anything as a unjustifiable as it is it's their company so they can put him on leave if they choose to.
All crimes in which people kill each other are hate crimes.
@@bradynlotterman8164 Hate crimes have a specific definition. Nice try Bradyn, Cadyn, Aidyn.
Glad he has an attorney. Hope he's a good one and that he files a civil lawsuit. He definitely deserves restitution for his lost wages and those criminals who attacked him should pay heavily and then some.
Of course, those criminals should also spend the rest of their lives in jail for attempted murder.
I hope he sues FedEx for this
In Mississippi you say? Shocked!
Yeah you know the south where racists keep telling us there is no racism.
ua-cam.com/video/5msG-QiXs3wh/v-deo.htmlttps://ua-cam.com/video/zRXBKbMy_Iw/v-deo.html
Delivering packages in Mississippi is not worth your life or at least it shouldn't be. Time to move, bro. Let's those racist pos Deliver their own damn packages.
@Heathen hey read a book or look up a social study. Historically and structurally MS is one of the most racist states in the Union.
@Heathen he’s calling it like it is. But you on the the other hand are out of line with your pointed insult.
What the? It's attempted murder. It's not like they threw a punch.
IMO shooting at someone should always be attempted murder. Wtf is this bullshit assault nonsense.
How does attempted murder charges warrant bail?
The same way murder charges do
Except they didn’t even get charged with murder.
You bet this was not a first offense for either of them.

@@freda2758 if you dug up those two lunatics backyard, i would bet you’d find the bodies of every person gone missing in that area in the last twenty years.
Wow FedEx gave this man 2 weeks unpaid leave
UNPAID?? What... why??
I guess to get paid leave, you need to shoot someone. And have a badge.
Sound like he deserves workmen's compensation and suing FEDEX.
Absolutely.
Which wouldn't work as unjustifiable as it is it's their company so they can put him on leave if they choose to.
@@billsloan Yea.. and if a business days no mask no service, how does that make you feel? Retrumplican 🗑️
I can’t even imagine the trauma. I would be in therapy for the rest of my life if something like that happened
Why does it matter if he was in his uniform or not?
They really tried to kill this young man for nothing . Fully dressed in a Fed-Ex uniform ? What excuse will be used now ? 🤔
He looked suspicious. To them every black man is suspicious. Racist POS.
Simply because he's black in MS, they have no excuse!! America is only for whites in their eyes
And they weren't even charged with premeditated stalking or attempted murder. One man was clearly waiting at the other end of the street for him
@@user-xp5jz6dh5y and still didn't ran him over .
I'm happy the Driver is safe and hope those men are procuted to the full extent of the law. It's a shame FedEx is giving him unpaid leave. Will be Praying for the young Man and his family❤️🙏🏼❤️
I hope he sues the living shit out of FedEx
This is just sad. The world we live in is horrible
