1. Walmart needed more security. I hope they get sued to death |
|
It is difficult to stop a stampede of crazed consumers....If they don't get their shopping and buying fix, others will likely get hurt. Remember the tickle me Elmo craze a few XMESSs ago?

2. You Got That Right... I Told a Relative about this Story |
|
and that relative will never go back there, so at least they lost one customer. I hope they lose many, many more... there is nothing better than watching greedy people suffer the loss of their profits.

5. Some people would rather have those 1.3 million unemployed |
|
than working at WM and not being unionized.

23. Exactly. How many WalMart products are a direct result of outsourcing? |
|
WalMart killed hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs and replaced them with sales clerk jobs.

4. Don't hold your breath. They're about the only retailer that had a decent |
|
3rd quarter. In tough economic times, WM will do well.

11. Really I kind of hope humanity can see the error of thier ways and |
|
that people will start taking responsibility for their actions. Blaming a store is easy when you don't want to accept that it was humanity acting worse than animals that trampled the employee.

When I first heard this I felt so sorry for the family.
Then I felt and still feel that this is a reflection on our current society. It goes much deeper than blaming the shoppers or a store.

15. Since Walmart is the largest private employer in Arizona, |
|
maybe if they shut down all those annoying Norwegians from the Dakotas and Minnesota will have to leave the state. Oh and those conceited Californians too, go back and mess up your own f'ing freeways you slobs!

26. Well I did jump the border at Lupton |
|
And kind of sneaked down from Holbrook to Heber, avoiding ICE in Flag, and landed in Fountain Hills. But it was an arduous journey and I couldn't find a decent restaurant until Payson.

17. Even in Arkansas they are talking about it |
|
and how it seems WalMart has become an unsafe, even dangerous place to shop. I predict they will lose sales because of this.
