Greenwood Capital President and CIO Walter Todd joined “Mornings with Maria” to discuss the state of the U.S. economy as Walmart closes 23 stores in 2023.
A Texas man has sued Walmart for the second time in three years and is demanding $100 million in damages or unlimited free shopping at any of its stores for life.
Roderick Jackson, of Waskom, Texas, filed two handwritten complaints claiming he was suing Walmart over an incident at a store in Omaha, Nebraska, in March 2021.
Jackson’s first complaint was filed in 2021, alleging the exact same scenario and incident as his last complaint.
In his complaint that Walmart shared with Fox News Digital, Jackson stated that he “stitches (sic) for civil rights violations based on race/color.”

Neither complaint goes into detail about why Jackson is suing Walmart, but he claims it involves a “false allegation of shoplifting.”
In addition to the money and shopping sprees, Jackson is also asking Walmart to pay all court fees associated with the lawsuit.

“We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. Mr. Jackson’s allegations are virtually identical to the lawsuit he filed against our company in 2021 that was dismissed. We intend to defend the company against the allegations as soon as we receive appropriate service and will quickly file a lawsuit,” a Walmart spokesperson told Fox News. News Digital: “The court rejects any baseless claim.”
In a 2021 complaint, Jackson sued Walmart over the same alleged incident, claiming he was racially profiled and falsely accused of a crime that led to his arrest.

Jackson initially asked for $100 million and a “large credit for future shopping,” but later changed the complaint to seek $175 million in damages. The case was dismissed that year because he failed to properly serve Walmart and his claims had no merit, according to the retailer.
