The Issue

Josh Bishop was not just an employee at Mighty Crab in Longview, Texas – he was a beloved friend and a cherished community member. The news of his untimely passing has left a void in the hearts of all who knew him. In an act of mourning and remembrance, employees at the Mighty Crab set up a heartfelt memorial inside the store.

Regrettably, the owners of Mighty Crab in Longview decided to remove this memorial, denying their employees and our community the opportunity to honor Josh's memory properly. Such actions demonstrate a profound lack of compassion and empathy for the grief-stricken staff and patrons alike, and it's essential that these owners are held accountable.

A business that doesn’t respect or support its staff during such trying times sends a disturbing message to the broader community. The removal of the memorial isn’t just an insensitive act, it’s a denial of the simple human act of grieving—a time-honored process crucial for healing.

We call for the permanent closure of Mighty Crab in Longview, Texas. By taking this stand, we send a clear message to businesses: empathy, respect, and support for your employees and community are non-negotiable.

Josh was more than just a coworker—he was a friend, a brother, a beacon of light who will be sorely missed. Let us honor his legacy by taking a stand against the disregard shown by the ownership of Mighty Crab. Join us in demanding accountability and empathy. Sign this petition to close Mighty Crab permanently.
