They were afraid of unrest:

A free for all wherein the entire store is emptied, equipment damaged and possibly injury to their employees and other customers.

No, Walmart will have to eat this one:

If you’re a walmart customer or stockholder you will pay one way or another though.

That’s their decision to make I guess.

As I posted on several other threads, the EBT customer base got ‘restless’. My local walmart is about 150 miles from the one in the link. Friends of ours were there Saturday when this happened. One ‘lady’ on hearing her card didn’t work shouted loudly ‘imma burn down dis store’. Other similar demographic individuals in the store shouted agreement and a great clamor began. Our friends got out of there as quickly as they could and we later heard that particular walmart started just giving the EBT holders $50 per day.

Better than losing *all* your merchandise, the store equipment and possibly someone getting injured in the free for all. This way they just wrote down some food. A free for all would have seen all the TV’s, electronics, housewares, clothing and everything else walking out the door as well.

I guess the folks that work for a living will just have to oay a bit more for their wal mart supplies at leadt until the stolen merchandise is paid off. us working folk love watching people on food stamps eating better than we do though, so it will be AOK.

Yes, there were black Confederates. New Orleans had a great deal of free black business owners. When the (damn) yankees occupied the city, they took to looting, raping women, burning, etc. A resistance unit was formed of free citizens, black and white. It was their city, too.

The left has trained their mascots well -

threaten violence if “whitey” doesn’t give you what you want.

If you live in a jungle and throw meat to the wild animals every day in the hopes they’ll stay away from your village,

one day when you don’t have extra meat to throw to them,

.....they’ll come and have you for dinner.

We have created a monster with welfare and EBT payoffs (it’s no different than paying mafia gangs to “protect” the neighborhood,

... and it’s going to be difficult and extremely dangerous to quell this ravenous tribe.

Who was doubting there were black Confederates?

Wal Mart and Xerox seem to be fighting amongst themselves over which of them will be be paying for this.

The idea of actually cutting off the EBT cards of the thieves until the amounts are paid off doesn't seem to occur to them.

The states involved simply were the ones serviced by Xerox.

I have no mercy or sympathy for them, let them starve!

You've certainly mastered contempt for the poor. Coming from one without sin, doubtless.
