wow, thats all I can say > **[Death Benefits Denied After Worker Killed](http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=6324068)** > > The family of Taneka Talley is fighting to get her workers compensation death benefits, denied after the company said they weren't obligated to pay because she died as a result of a hate crime. Cliffs: Black women works at Dollar Tree, is clocked in and working, white guy stabs her to death in the store, now Dollar Tree wont pay her death benefits because the crime was “racially motivated”. WHAT THE FUCK? EDIT, just was released but they did agree to pay it out > **[Dollar Tree to pay workers' comp over workplace death](https://pilotonline.com/business/article_5cd2b906-77c2-5bc8-8b85-de9b027e0de9.html)** > > Dollar Tree Inc. has agreed to provide workers' compensation benefits after initially denying them to the son of an employee who was stabbed to death at one of its California but seriously, why would you even question that? ---
