that woman filming was just enjoying the chaos....if someone had been stabbed, she'd get close in pics....

honestly, people have to step up and stop letting the crazies rule us.....

[cherry]

actually think this type of behavior is becoming standard behavior for some....

Special thanks to Laquanda Eickelberger for that footage.

The guy who hit the crazy was not messing around.... WHAM!

[gundog]

Meh...she’s no Hugo Van Lawick

What I found embarrassing is the girl whose voice could be heard saying “someone ELSE needs to just give that man $20” like that would solve anything.

What she really meant to say!

Typical liberal thought process: Someone ELSE should take responsibility.

Someone did step up.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yeah, they don’t have good male role models so they just pick up what they’re around.

The goon will have weeks with a sore head and a lesson to never bring a knife to a stanchion fight.

I can actually say this silly story enhanced my vocabulary.

Now trying to figure out how I can work “stanchion” into a conversation casually at work tomorrow?

before two sheriff’s deputies emerge

Where were they before?

Probably reading the updated rules and regulations regarding agitated people. Or perhaps on the phone trying to get a crisis-outreach counselor to the scene.

Or: “What do you think Frank, should we arrest this guy?”

“I don’t know Bob, the last ten guys we arrested were out the next day - so what’s the point? If he stabs somebody then we can talk about it more.”

Everyone was like “Just another day at Walmart”.

[popdonnelly]

Good job!

I was hoping for a nice hard hit. It was not as hard as I was hoping but it left a mark I trust.

I am starting to understand why Ebenezer Scrooge was the way he was. That criminal was definitely part of the “excess population”.

[vespa300]

Kinda reminds me of the disco classic.....”you can ring my belllll, bell bell, you can ring my bell ding dong...dinga linga dong.”

He got his bell rung. Hats off to the Vet.

" as horrified bystanders stand by during the incident "

Looks to me like the bystanders are looking at perp like he's a nutjob.

As I recall visits to Walmart, I don’t recall seeing a stanchion.

What is a stanchion any way?
