The Clarion-Ledger reported on a little disturbance that happened at the Wal-Mart in Philadelphia last weekend:

Customers staged a disturbance then walked out of a Mississippi Walmart store with groceries that hadn’t been paid for Saturday night after a computer glitch left them unable to use their food stamp cards.

People in 17 states found themselves unable to buy groceries with their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program cards after a routine check by vendor Xerox Corp. resulted in a temporary system failure.

Shortly after the mini-riot, managers decided to temporarily close the store, citing customer safety.

We’re looking into everything, looking at surveillance video and working with the local police,” Kayla Whaling, a Walmart spokeswoman said Sunday.

She said the disturbance happened around 10 p.m. and the store reopened around 11:30 p.m. She also said she was not aware of any injuries.

Whaling said Walmart has not yet calculated the financial impact of the incident.

The Philadelphia Police Department was not available for comment on Sunday.Article
Seems like some people need some free food..... at the county jail.

Anyone physically able to cause a riot is probably also physically able to get a job and work. I wonder how many of these "disabled" shoppers threatened to "beat somebody ass".

EBT benefit card glitch sparks Walmart shopping sprees in Louisiana

Walmart shelves in Springhill, Mansfield, cleared in EBT glitch

This whole little excercise has been a tutorial on what happens when you count on the government to meet your every need. If "they" riot over 8 hours of no EBT, imagine when the host finally croaks. Arm up and get ready to repel the wolves.

Many of these same creatures will be in church on Sunday morning praising God and fooling themselves into thinking He would approve because we have to feed our children. (ahem)

We all know that God commands us NOT TO STEAL, MURDER and eight other laws that He had Moses record.

These people are evil in so many ways. Many wear it proudly while others hide in dark places, scurrying about like the vermin they are.

"Inside every person two dogs are fighting. One dog is good and the other dog is evil. The dog that wins the fight is the dog that is fed."

8:13 is correct- Lock and load- and immediately put to death the evil intruders when ordered by the courts.
This world has become overrun with evil people and if we are to survive, we must destroy these evil monsters. If we don't win this fight- we are doomed and evil wins...

Looks like those EBT shoppers were upset to be inconvenienced. it really shows how far the notion of entitlement has gone. To these people, this was not Walmart's food, it was their food and Walmart
had no business making them lineup and not get their groceries.

But what are they going to do? look at surveillance video and arrest them or fine them? they have nothing anyway except EBT cards. Police will do nothing. Walmart will do nothing.

The age of entitlement is well developed.

meanwhile, Walmart stores in Springhill and Mansfield, La., saw a stampede and a shelf-clearing rush Saturday after a computer glitch for food stamp recipients led to benefit cards allowing unlimited purchases.

Police were called as entire shelves were being cleared out, until the glitch was fixed and low-income residents using the cards were no longer allowed to make purchases.

What I'm curious to know is how word spread so quickly that the system was down?

Anonymous said...

9:10 am -- are you under the impression that there is even the pretense that you can't get food stamps if you are able to work?

Watch that footage from Louisiana. The glitch hit and people came out of the woodwork to cheat. Every damn one of them knew they were cheating the system, which is stealing in no uncertain terms.

That's bad enough, but the second the EBT glitch was fixed, they left their carts in the aisle and scampered out. They didn't even have the courtesy to put their "purchases" back.

This is SUCH a vivid picture of Obama's primary demographic. It's "gimme, you owe me, what can I get for free". The word was spread by text messages. People who are on food assistance all have cell phones with text capability and cameras. When they get word of something free, even if it's illegal, they run for the goodies. The second it's gone, they hightail it out. I'll bet $1000 a significant number of them were griping as they left because Wal-Mart wasn't checking out quick enough to allow them their turn to steal food.

I imagine a lot of food was thrown out, especially frozen foods and meats that the employees couldn't replace fast enough. These freeloaders probably think that's a good thing...sticking it to the rich people or some other rotgut. The same BS that is parroted by the "educated" in New York coffeehouses is manifested in the behavior of these worthless societal leeches.

Yeah, we need to pay for their healthcare.

I got news for everyone , if we ever get to a calamity whereby we all cant get what we are used to, you will see some ugly behavior,,, not just from food stamp recipients.

@12:35
I wondered the same thing until it occurred to me that in certain communities word of an opportunity to get something for nothing spreads faster than an out of control forest fire.
They likely think that since everyone is doing it they need to grab their share while the getting (stealing) is good.
They are just following the other critters...

Classic quote from Tom Head on Clarion Ledger's Facebook post about this:

Tom Head: If racist Southern rednecks spent a little less time worrying about poor folks who reluctantly steal to feed their kids and a little more time worrying about rich folks who casually steal to feed their drug habits, they'd realize how little harm incidents like these really do, in the grand scheme of things. Good on Wal-Mart for showing some basic Christian decency, even out here in Klan country.

Kingfish said...

Well, when you don't work, you don't drive, and you are not capable of taking care of yourself much less rarely getting yourself out of the house, you tend to have a very warped view of reality and other things. Its hard if not impossible to take him seriously when he has no clue about the outside world.

Anonymous said...

I guess Tom isn't going to talk about the stores that had hundreds if not thousands of dollars in meat ruined because the upstanding citizens left full carts in the aisles in a fit of spite after their Obama dollars ran out.

Kingfish said...

or what 1% means in the grocery business.

Anonymous said...

Dear Tom Head (I know you read this site):

Bumrushing the store is not reluctantly stealing. Clearing out the shelves is not reluctantly stealing. Pushing multiple buggies overflowing with food is not reluctantly stealing.

Little harm? How about several thousands of dollars in spoiled and rotten food. How about the wasted man hours restocking the shelves from the abandoned buggies? And that's not even touching the ones that walked out the store with several hundreds of dollars of STOLEN food. Little harm, right?

Basic Christian decency? They had to shut down the store because of the looting. Yes, looting. That's what they were doing. And Klan country? Racist much?

You just can't stomach the fact that there is photographic evidence of what taxpayers have been saying for years: the entitled have gluttoned themselves into a well-deserved public spanking.

Here's one Klucker (if that's what you call white folks who don't agree with the thieves were doing) who's hoping Walmart had the foresight to take down the snap card number and transaction number for everyone that walked out with stolen food.

Anonymous said...

This is only the beginning folks. If we continue down this path of freebies for every little group, we will have more riots just like the folks in Europe. Once the money runs out, the freebies run out, then there'll be nation wide riots. Just hope Obama is not Prez when that happens. He's eager to establish martial law.

2) As far as Tom Head's delusional world view, the video from yesterday reminds me of the post-Katrina looting in NOLA, where the same demographic was "reluctantly stealing" carts loaded down with beer and flat-screen TVs - you know, the essentials for feeding hungry children ;-)

Can't find his comment

The "It was for the children" argument doesn't hold water because anyone eligible for food stamps already has their children eating breakfast and lunch at school on the taxpayer's dime.

Anonymous said...

T. Head's motto must be-- The truth! The truth! Anything BUT the truth!
The pathetic little pissant has nothing else available to him in life but to live a lie, it seems.

Wikipedia: Pissant is an epithet for an inconsequential, irrelevant, or worthless person, especially one who is irritating or contemptible out of proportion to his or her perceived significance.

Buck Allred said...

Kingfish: You can't find his comment for the same reason that I can't: Mr. Head has blocked both of us on Facebook.

He seems to have become even more radical in the last couple of years . . . perhaps not coincidentally since about the time he re-united with Ms. Ladd, who memorably ranted several years back how she and Head were "SO not friends!."

There's just no shred of reality or credibility behind his words that the critics of the looters are "racist rednecks" and that the looters are just nobly trying to "feed their children."

The JFP echo chamber is pretty empty these days. The only people who I can conceive of who would agree with Mr. Head's comments would be the looters themselves, and maybe Ms. Ladd. And I don't think anyone is listening to them.

Wasn't aware that applied to CL comments. Interesting.

Whatever you think of Mr. Head, comments about his (or anyone's) appearance are in poor taste and unacceptable. I hope Kingfish deletes that comment.

KF was spot on about the one (1%) percent. Wally World works on very low margins, hence volume is a requisite for profitability. If their gross margin is 15% on groceries, the theft of $1. would require sales of $6.67 to recoup the theft, and start breaking even again. #100. would require $667.in sales to do the same. Yes, thieves believe they are entitled.

re: Tom Head's comment about rich people stealing to feed a drug habit..... if they're rich, why are they casually stealing to feed a drug habit? If they are doing drugs, why would that bother Tom Head?

Am I confused or is he saying that someone that works for a living who happens to spend some of their money on illegal drugs is casually stealing money by default because they actually work?

Oxymoron... emphasis on the moron.

Someone tell Tom Head there's another story about Obama voters "reluctantly stealing" food for their children in NYC. Read down to see the vital foods that were stolen.
=================================
http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20131016/financial-district/mom-stealing-candy-from-drugstore-leaves-baby-behind-police-say

FINANCIAL DISTRICT — So much for no child left behind.

A stroller-toting mom who used her 1-year-old son as cover during a massive candy shoplifting spree at a downtown Duane Reade used the tot's pram as a battering ram when workers confronted her — and then ran away without the baby, the NYPD said.

Michelle Calderon, 23, piled more than $250 worth of candy into the bottom of her son's stroller at the 100 Broadway store at 2:42 a.m. Oct. 7, police said.

Calderon, who was arrested in June for smuggling an envelope of cocaine into Rikers Island and was out on $50 cash bail, had help from Raymond Lebron, 20, who grabbed cough drops and gum from the aisles, and Darnell Johnson, 26, who served as a lookout inside the store, police said.

But when the trio tried to leave the store without paying, a worker confronted the group and tried to take back the stolen items: $179 worth of Halls throat drops, $59 worth of Wrigley’s gum, $43 worth of Dentyne gum and $15 worth of Tic Tacs, police said.

Lebron hit the worker in the face twice — cutting the worker's chin and throat — while Calderon used her stroller to push the worker out of the store, ramming him down onto the sidewalk, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's criminal complaint.

I feel sorry for Tom Head. It must be stressful to constantly make such outlandish arguments like he is making now (that critics of the hordes of black thieves are "redneck racists").

The only sin of the "racists" being, of course, direct and factually accurate observation of thievery caught on camera and reported by local media outlets. One would just about have to be a peculiar, shut-in, hermit type of person to sincerely believe the types of arguments that he makes.

Maybe it's all a joke and he doesn't really believe what he says . . . who knows.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
