Wonder where elchivito is with his outrage over excessive force?

Walmart security was probably hiding in the office - from the video, that was a mob stampede you'd have been hard-pressed to break up with a SWAT team - probably some elderly woman who was scared to death she was going to get trampled by the herd, panicked, and deployed the pepper spray to - in her mind - keep the animals at bay and keep from getting injured.

I have never felt the need to attend one of these Black Friday events.

Bad assumption - later reports indicate the sprayer sprayed multiple times at multiple locations in the store. Gotta get yer goods, yo.

Nice, I find this hilarious. I rather just order the crap online and have it shipped to me door, but than again I'm not a moron like these black Friday people.

They are like rats fighting over garbage, hope they enjoy their crap!

OTOH we need the economy to get better so these drones better run up some good bills! Spend, spend, spend!

He stopped. “You bastard!” he hissed. “You’d do that, wouldn’t you?”

I laughed, still waving the bomb at him. “Why worry? You’ll like it. ****, there’s nothing in the world like a Mace high - forty-five minutes on your knees with the dry heaves, gasping for breath. It’ll calm you right down.”

You'e right - reading thru some other reports, this woman was nothing more than a jerk. "Competitive shopping"? How about assault and battery?

As mentioned in the other thread, the two stories have nothing in common besides pepper spray.
