What a nasty hoax to pull.

I believe the way this story is playing out that the word ‘hoax’ is actually misused. This appears to be a case of a mentally unbalanced woman claiming to have won the lottery. Some folks actually got their booty paid for, then her debit card ran dry (about $5,000). She went to stock up on cash at the nearby bank, but her $50,000 check wouldn’t clear (go figure).
I find this story fascinating since all the store shoppers got so upset and trashed the store when they realized they weren’t getting free stuff.
Damn Amish! Sarcasm off!
Bad bad woman. But also, bad bad people.
She offers to buy people clothes. Now, I guess if they were out of work, a person should accept such an offer, pick out a reasonable set of clothing, and let the woman pay.
But read the article. People fighting over stuff, filling shopping carts full of clothing, tearing the store apart, and then when they don’t get their free stuff, getting mad about it like they were entitled, and trashing the store.
We have raised a generation of people who expect something for nothing, and want others to take care of them. Is there no doubt why a majority of americans would be happy to have “rich people” pay for their health care?
The democratic party has made a living off of brainwashing america to believe they are entitled to get something for nothing, to hate rich people, to believe that nobody succeeds by hard work and honest labor.
It’s getting harder to find people who, on principle, believe they are responsible for their own fate.
You can clearly see many of the violent Amish sect in the photo!
When voters finally realize that the government cannot provide endless free stuff, what will happen?
One interviewee (on the video footage) stated that when he realized the deal was indeed, too good to be true, he simply dropped all the clothes he had grabbed and walked out......
Obama voter.
Further proof, as if we needed any more, that P.T. Barnum was correct.
What happens when Obama goes?
Was her first name “Barack”? This sounds like something a Barack would do.
If she DID win, she probably didn’t notice that it was going to be by a 20 year annuity which would add up to the advertised jackpot sum. She’d get 25 grand for each of 20 years. LESS TAXES. No way she could keep writing $5K checks.
Le déluge.
There's an interesting parable between this story and what's going to happen as millions of Obama voters realize he's using a fraudulent debit card and they're not going to get their free stuff either.
The comments are interesting. Hard to believe the entitlement mentality.
“When voters finally realize that the government cannot provide endless free stuff, what will happen?”
....I think that shoppers at your local gun shop know the answer to that question.
Yeah, if this is an example. But I’m not sure. Louts behave strangely meekly when the head lout is knocked down so he can’t get up.
