Occupy flash mob fails to impress Walmart workers

The folks from Occupy Orange County might need to work on their delivery if they want to get their message across.

A two minute “flash mob” by members of Occupy’s Santa Ana contingent left some Walmart employees feeling disrespected and confused.

If they can't so much as impress Walmart employees, maybe this "Occupy" fad is fading -- I hope.

It’s hard to impress people who see this everyday:

If they try that crap at Midnight tomorrow they will get crushed in a stampede of bargain shoppers.

What idiots.

I remember about 10 years ago, some equally silly group was going to do an anti-Wal-Mart “performance art” by walking up and down the aisles with empty carts all day.

These kids really don’t have a clue just how ridiculous and useless their actions are.

[Fast Moving Angel]

You two made me laugh :-)

Oh my, the pix are getting worse!

[CXin99]

These Occupiers are total losers

How can an OWS flash mob hope to compete with Darth Vader taking on Optimus Prime?

[Fast Moving Angel]

LOL ... Vader’s plaid pants were a nice touch!

I think what we’re witnessing is the next stage in their downward spiral. They failed to get the attentions they desired so they are acting out more.

Disruptions are the order of the day and widespread violence can’t be far behind.

They say they are going to disrupt stores during Black Friday. Obiviously none of them have ever been to Black Friday sales otherwise they would know better.Get between some Mom who wants that video game on sale for her Kid or that cheap TV and she will stomp you to death!

That’s a joke.

Cleanup on isle 6!

They are such pukes. They are all pampered little college students, judging from the article, and they feel they have the right to drop in and harrass the poor, hardworking people who have been standing behind those registers for hours by that time of night. Disgusting.

I honestly don’t see why they are permitted to do that. Coming in and verbally assaulting employees and shoppers is not exercising constitutionally protected speech.

[Popman]

Let me get this straight.....smelly unemployed occupy vermin protest for people with jobs to not go to work at their workplace ?

I wonder how many of these idiots know how the Wal-Mart sick days policy?

You have to be out two days with a doctors note to get paid

Personal days are scheduled not just taken

So they are asking them to lose a days pay

[Kakaze]

Since when is a organized, planned event that moves from location to location, with pre-arranged transportation....a flash mob?

I have worked as a security guard on Black Friday at a electronics store & have seen little blue haired senior citizens get out the pepper spray in a fight over a low end DVD player that was on sale & it wasn’t the last one on the pallet. DO NOT MESS WITH A BLUE HAIRED GRANDMA ON SALE DAY IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH/LIFE!

I stopped going out on Black Friday about 5 years ago.It was just becoming too much of a contact sport for my liking.Three years ago my sister was nearly crush by a crowd in Walmart when she had been the first person in line for a cheap laptop, the crowd served and pinned her against a wall.Luckily her husband was there too and rescued her by using football blocking moves to get to her.Saving $10 on anything is just not worth it besides most stores now days also put the stuff online.I got what I wanted let night and this morning online in my PJ’s with coffee and no effort at all.:)
