Further proof of the fact that “you can’t make this stuff up” is not needed!

I figure when Big Media already has the answer as to why some wild event JUST happened, THEY ARE LYING.

heheh. We're doomed. I guess it ranks right up there with the herd of wild boars attacking the WM on Long Island a couple years ago.

I used to shop all the time at this WalMart in Porter Ranch. With the mix of Illegals and Entitled Californians it’s no wonder and mixed in with a little T-day merrymaking.

was it pepper spray or mace? there’s a significant difference, the least of which being one is legal and the other is not

unless we’re talking about a spiked ball on the end of a stick...

It's right in the name "Black Friday."

This shopping day is for Eric Holder's people.

Anybody who tries to take Eric Holder's people's free stuff deserves what they get.

If I went into Walmart for anything, I deserve to be sprayed.

From “Black Friday” until a week after Christmas, I go grocery shopping only.

If I need something from Walmart, I’ll go at 2 am when the stock clerks make shopping miserable simply because most people go when they’re not being made miserable.

I really despise the commercialization of Christmas.

[and the “sales” aren’t really that great, either]

Too many Walmart shoppers belong in a zoo. I rarely shop there. I shop at my local stores where I can get service, in and out in 5-10 minutes and the customers are my neighbors, and they aren’t macing me. Walmart has become a freak show as illustrated by the People of Walmart website. It concerns me that this demographic is tearing down the USA.

Hmmm. Wonder what the equivalent of Black Friday is behind bars? Wonder if she will be as competitive at it?
