Two women became embroiled in a brutal scrap over the last case of water in a supermarket ahead of Hurricane Matthew , its reported.
The can be seen repeatedly battering and pulling each others hair in the middle of a Walmart store, apparently after one of them put the store's last water bottles in her trolley.
The taller of the two women then grabs a trolley and starts ramming it into the other woman, forcing her into a display unit where she crashes into several boxes.
She then turns and starts throwing the packages at the woman behind the trolley, who in turn charges towards her.

Exactly.
Ridiculous on so many levels.
I bought my family a Royal Berkey water filter system for prolonged emergencies and I did it when there was no emergency looming. It purifies 7-8 gallons an hour and the water is amazing.
I’d be surprised if we DIDN’T get a Walmart or supermarket brawl over the last loaf of bread / case of water / package of batteries story in connection with a hurricane coming.
I’m in Jacksonville and the center of the storm is about 50-miles from us at this point.
So far, it hasn’t lived up to its billing. Rain and a bit of wind.
Another politicized weather event that, nonetheless, spooked even some of the more stalwart people in my neighborhood.
If I ever meet Shep Smith I’m kicking him where he should have balls.
They’re fighting over water because of an approaching hurricane? Need water during a hurricane; just step outside.
LOL - Post of the day !
Two idiots....split the damn case.
Lack of loving self is ALWAYS the problem and it stems from not feeling loved or worthy of being loved - a basic human need.
Our prisons are generally not filled with those that grow up with care, love and nurturing. They are generally filled with those who were abused and mistreated from an early age and never felt they were worth much.
People are born with a God-given sense of worth but need others (parents, etc.) to tell them and show them they are loved. Without that, people turn vicious and cruel.
Yeah, we really didn’t have to play “Guess the race,” did we.
“Gibsmedat!”
“No, dis be mine!”
Aaaaaaand, that’s when the fight began.
LOL!!!! Just grab a clean jar or other receptacle!
“WalMartians! I love it. I had never heard that one before.”
Kinda hard to do when you’re paying with food stamps.
You see, hard cash is for more important stuff.
I always have a couple cases of water on hand.
For all you know a water main could break. Happened to us on Thanksgiving one year, we didn’t skip a beat.

I’ll admit to a bit of last-minute shopping at Safeway at 11 o’clock at night on December 31st 1999. My friend saw me with my loaded cart and said “doing a bit of Y2K shopping?”
LOL!
That UK link wouldn’t play.

Yup - basics of prepping (for anything)
When the SHTF for real, people like this won't last very long - they probably don't even have a weeks' worth of food in the house (but surely have a big-screen TV and video games...)
I’m from Memphis and am always saddened by the way far too many Amish treat their children in public. I always presume it’s even worse at home. You can usually tell there’s a problem by the dead eyes. And it isn’t just Amish. There are a bunch of meth or heroin addicted trashy whites whose kids aren’t any better off. It’s all so heartbreaking.
I not only have a couple of cases around (about 4 gallons each, thus enough for the 4 of us to survive for a day per case), but I recently bought a bunch of drinking water in 1 gallon bottles with handles. I put 10 in each of the kids’ closets, and about 20 in storage for the wife and I - that’s 10 more days of life if a disaster happens (and, being in a city, I can’t really see us being without running water for that long without a nuclear war, EMP attack, or massive epidemic). Beyond that, having some filtration equipment, clean tarps and clean buckets will allow you to get filtered rainwater in pretty large quantities easily.
As if Matthew hasn’t been on tv 24/7 for the past week. Good grief, turn on the tap and fill every container in the house. That beats being hauled off to jail.
We one and only one grocery in town. It’s so crappy it’s hard to find the mere basics and your grocery list is never more than half checked off. If you have more than one gallon of milk or loaf of bread in your buggy, it’s not unusual that someone will ask for any extras. This is in the middle of Texas. But it’s predominately white (the only blacks were blown in by Katrina) so I’ve yet to witness a brawl over the last whatever.
