A California woman who won't face felony charges for pepper spraying Black Friday Walmart shoppers is considering a lawsuit claiming that the national retailer didn't provide enough security for the post-Thanksgiving shopping spree.

Elizabeth Macias, 32, said she fired the stinging spray after shoppers attacked her two teenage children as they tried to obtain X-Box video game consoles for purchase, attorney Michael Champ, Macias' lawyer, told CBS News' Los Angeles station KCBS Friday

That story is now on my refrigerator for the family to read daily.

Well done.

All retailers do this kind of sale at one time or another. Usually with these sales an ad goes out and somewhere on that ad they will state that there is a limited amount on sale, so basically it is first come first served.

Problem Walmart has is some of the people who shop there are little better than greedy unfed animals. This woman being one of them.

The shopper can either act like a decent person or get in their car and see if another Walmart still has a few left.

We all know the idea of this kind of sale is to get people in to shop for other items. Many times they put the big sale items far back in a store so people will pass by other products and stick around longer to shop. LOL

If people read the ads or cared to read the ads they would know before they left home what might happen.

I don’t need anything that bad that I would get into a mess like this, but greed is powerful anymore. Some of these people probably look forward to acting like an ass.
