Gang members beat Staples employees for wearing red shirts. 'Easy button' nowhere in sight.

Police say two Staples office supply store employees and a shopping center customer were beaten recently by gang members, apparently for wearing red clothing.

The attacks happened Friday near the Staples office supply store in Petaluma, where two workers and another person were assaulted. Two 17-year-olds, a boy and a girl, were later arrested.

A Staples employee was standing outside the store when the suspects began yelling gang slogans and challenging him to fight. He started to walk into the store when they attacked him with their fists. » Article here
