Shelves in Two Lousiana Walmarts Cleared When Welfare Recipients Thought They Were Getting Free Food
PJ Media ^ | October 14, 2013 | Bryan Preston

Springhill Police Chief Will Lynd confirms they were called in to help the employees at Walmart because there were so many people clearing off the shelves. He says Walmart was so packed, “It was worse than any black Friday” that he’s ever seen.

Lynd explained the cards weren’t showing limits and they called corporate Walmart, whose spokesman said to let the people use the cards anyway. From 7 to 9 p.m., people were loading up their carts, but when the cards began showing limits again around 9, one woman was detained because she rang up a bill of $700.00 and only had .49 on her card. She was held by police until corporate Walmart said they wouldn’t press charges if she left the food.

Looks like 33 km alright. I expect the number of dead to grow significantly. The last toll I saw from the India quake, that created the islands, was above 800.

Btw, thanks for the reminder to be on the lookout tomorrow along the South America/Mexico coasts. :)

Indeed! Seems everywhere has its issues. This quake might awaken additional volcanoes in the general area - like they don't have enough already.

Not to mention mooselimbs rebels in some places. Not sure where one would find safe haven in today’s world, but pretty sure it involves a well hidden and well stocked cave or bunker. lol

The restaurant lobby is also pushing hard for EBT being able to be used in restaurants. A pilot program has already started in the Northeast where EBT can be used in restaurants.

Thanks for the link. I’ve talked to most of the people on that island just trying to transfer my old phone number to my net10 phone! :-)

Thanks, that is shallow. Curious why they’re having trouble pinning down the depth?

sequester? republicans? ted cruz? sarah palin?

I just learned from their FB that there is a twitter for longer thoughts than 140 characters. I was waiting for that. Gals just can’t keep to 140 characters. Appropriately “twit longer”
