This past Friday at a Los Angeles Walmart (natch), a woman wanting an XBox 360 pepper sprayed the crowd to incapacitate her fellow shoppers so that she'd be guaranteed a console.
Twenty shoppers were reportedly injured, some from pepper spray, others from "crowd movement" as the panicked masses vacated the area.
The woman has since turned herself in. Police are still deciding if charges will be filed. While I can't say I approve of her methods, I do admire her tactical skills and resourcefulness. I would not have thought to use pepper spray to gain the upper hand while Xmas shopping.
It's the reason for the season! Jesus would be proud.
what is strange to me is that she resorted to pepper spray to acquire an xbox 360. i wonder if she knew that they have been out for a few years now and anybody who wanted one probably already has one.... oh well
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing. How many years has that system been out? 7? 8? Maybe they just had a really amazing price on it.
ReplyDeleteWhat most people don't realize is that many of the BF "deals" are just the normal everyday price.
