For me, I have stayed away and plan on staying away from any Walmart Black Friday or doorbuster forever….
I said this before, but every year there is always some ridiculous thing that always happens at Walmart.
Last time, I believe people were trampled to death.
This time? Some stupid lady pepper sprays others so she can save a few bucks on some video games.
On the other hand, if you want to get rich quick the good old american way, step into a Walmart during Black Friday doorbusters..Because chances are, you’ll get injured, and then you can sue…. (end sarcasm):(
Only at Walmart…Where low prices means seeing the most ridiculous samples of the human species on the entire planet.
Los Angeles police have yet to decide if they will charge a woman accused of using pepper spray on a shopping crowd at Walmart on Thanksgiving, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Investigators also declined to discuss her motive for doing it – whether she felt threatened by the crowd or merely wanted to clear people away so she could shop.
“We have her identity and we know who she is and where she is at. When appropriate action needs to be taken, we know where to find her,” said Officer Bruce Borihanh, a police spokesman told CNN. “She’s a suspect, but she’s not booked or anything, so we’re not releasing her name.
The unidentified woman, who turned herself into police on Friday night, was released as police continue to interview witnesses and investigate the case, which made international headlines.
Police said earlier that she was looking to beat shoppers to a discounted Xbox 360 set.
About 20 Walmart shoppers complained of burning eyes and sore throats after the incident, the Times reported.
The suspect, according to the report, paid for the Xbox before leaving the store.
The LAPD wasn’t the only police department busy investigating a Black Friday incident at Walmart.
In Arizona, police said they were conducting an investigation into the arrest a 54-year-old man at one of the retail stores, CNN reported.
Jerald Newman was charged with shoplifting and resisting arrest and released Saturday. But his grandson, Nicholas Nava, told KNXV that his grandfather simply put the video game under his shirt to avoid protect it from other shoppers as they made their way to the register.
CNN reported that a police officer approached Nava and then eventually slammed him to the ground, leaving his face bloodied.
“We may have an independent agency conduct the inquiry, just to show transparency,” a spokesman said.
Newman, meanwhile, has hired an attorney and plans on speaking with reporters later this week, CNN reported.
