A shooting at Walmart - Oh, noes!

[Anti-Social Darwinism]

I occasionally shop at the Walmart in question. In fact, I drove into the parking lot right behind virtually every police cruiser in the Springs when this happened. I was tempted to leave and go to King Sooper's at first, but I really wasn't feeling well and just wanted to get my shopping done (and to go to King Soopers meant dealing with road construction in the snow - I'd rather deal with gunmen). Basically, one entrance was sealed off while the Springs' finest did whatever it is they do. No one was really inconvenienced and, if you watch the video, you'll see that people are really eager for their 15 minutes. The one thing that disturbs me, though - if you watch Detective Sergeant Schwall telling everyone that they're safe and the community is in no danger - not once does he look at the camera or make eye contact with anyone. I seriously wonder if he can be trusted.

Absolutely.

I hadn't heard about this incident but I did hear that Colorado Springs was discontinuing its police helicopter patrols, in part because of budget constraints and also because the two helicopters they have are 35 to 40 years old and aren't safe to fly anymore. They have no plans to replace them right now, the city simply can't afford it. Linky.

If we ban walmarts only the criminals will have them.
then millions will have to buy their groceries from criminals.

See if they went to a local merchant to buy womens clothing and not that hotbed of corporate greed, they wouldn't have had that problem.

To be fair, there is an independent women's clothing store in my town that's survived the Super Wal-Mart for several years, but they specialize in plus sizes.

They seem to do pretty good business.

[Twigica]

At least the gunmen didn't destroy the Spam!

Seriously though why the hell would you attack a bloody Walmart?! There's plenty of better over places to attack like..oh, I don't know...a town hall?

Walmart doesn't kill people, their low, low prices do.

[JuNii]

hope no one was seriously hurt.

on a lighter tone...

See, I told Walmart that having a Booze and Bullet sale was a bad idea...
