Boycott Dollar Tree Stores

I will No longer shop at the "Dollar Tree" store for the following reason.
On March 29th 2006 a girl named Tameka was murdered at her job at our local Dollar Tree. Tameka was the mother of a 9 year old boy and was childs sole support. I read in Fridays paper that the Insurance company for the Dollar tree is denying workers comp. Death benefits that are due the minor child. These benefits amount to $224 a week till age 18 or a total of approx. $81,000. This amount is a drop in the bucket for the ins. co. and the Dollar Tree. Their reason for denial is that the murder was racially motivated. What difference does the motivation have to do with anything? She was on the job, killed at work end of story. She did not know her attacker it was not a personal attack. According to the paper he claimed that he entered the store and killed a woman because she was black. Why would anyone admit to this knowing that it would bring about a hate crime enhancement? I think that the Insurance co. Is just plain looking for an out. Please join me in Boycotting the "Dollar Tree" stores until they do the right thing and pay this claim.
