Knoxville's legendary Cas Walker's message to 'thugs'

[@garymckee448]

Cas Walker would be spinning in his grave if he saw what was going on today 🙂

[@GeorgeCarlinWasAGod]

Are you referring to the "PC Woke Culture" of today? I believe if Cas was alive today he would cause a lot of those PC folks a lot of major "Butt Hurt."

[@Maples01]

When dads singing group does an event in Knoxville, the Cas Walker commercial is the most requested song, they often open with it, dad grew up in south Knoxville, he knew Cas.

[@stevensmith8666]

At a city council meeting in the 50s, he whooped hell out of a fellow councilman. In front of God and everybody.

Wish your family didn’t sell his farm land off but Cas was a great man

[@GeorgeCarlinWasAGod]

@@ambitious8753 These tech addicted younger people sell off their relative's farms and their land because all they care about is their Smartphones, Alexa, and their fake friends on Social Media. Plus they are lazy and have no appreciation for being self-sufficient and living off the land. Makes me glad I never had any kids of my own.

[@BallparkHunter]

It must have been fun shopping at his store.

[@Rokdar1]

Does anyone remember Cas Walker's newspaper "The Watch Dog" with a German Shepard & a Bulldog on the front page?

[@bettygonzalez735]

Oh yeah! One time I had to prove I was from K. Ten. By singing that Cas W.supermkt.song!😊

[@0therun1t21]

I grew up watching Cas, I wish I knew how special he was back then but when you're a wild kid jonesing for big city life he represents everything you want to get away from. But I loved him for putting Dolly on the air. I miss the hell out of him now.

[@jeffhensley9988]

My wife and I lived on the same street as Cas, two doors down.

[@GeorgeCarlinWasAGod]

I bet your neighborhood was a safe place considering Cas lived on your street.

[@M-Sixty]

That"s what we need now! People like that are the real heroes!

[@travisporco]

George Dempster once said if he ordered a load of son of a bitches and they just sent Cas, he'd sign for the shipment.

[@bicentennialbuck]

wow, look what has happened without thinking like this.

[@natebarger7482]

He was tough but to make it in this world and life you have to be tough at times

[@robschannel4512]

Now contrast that statement with what stores are doing now. They will fire an employee who trys to stop a shoplifter. I like the put you in the hospital for ten days. Instead of jail. A woman who worked at Lowes for twelve years tried to stop a shoplifter, she was assulted then Lowes fired her. I will never shop at Lowes again.

[@interstellarsurfer]

Cas knew how to fix our society.

[@ghostmanscores1666]

My uncles did business with him and liked him. A self made man!

[@GeorgeCarlinWasAGod]

He was a self-made man unlike Donald Trump who is nothing but spoiled "Trust Fund" baby with a big mouth. Cas would take Trump to the woodshed.

[@davidrhinehart7764]

Wonder what Cas would think of how things are today?

[@clay1883]

He was the real deal. Lots of clout and a salty individual. He didn't tolerate a bad check, no matter the amount. I once served a warrant for a bad check written to Cas Walker. It was for a small amount. The Court fees were probably higher than the check amount. He would post your photo and name if you wrote a bad check. America would be a much better place if we had several million more like Cas. The last time I saw him he was driving his old Rambler station wagon. I think that was about 1974.
