That's an awful lot of people to be shopping at KMart at that hour. If they were all shopping at KMart and ordering at Sonic, why would the mangagement of KMart or Sonic have complained to the police? They must have been raking it in hand over fist.
Leanne Williams said her 19-year-old son called her from jail and told her he showed police a receipt for bottled water from Kmart, but he was still arrested.
I always goes to KMart in the middle of the night for my bottled water. I just don't like the lack of selection at Circle K.
"They even arrested a 10-year-old girl who was having dinner with her father and took her to juvenile detention. "She got separated from her father and I asked her how old she was, and she told me she was 10," Demmler said. "She was dazed."
That happened to me once. I was with my ten-year-old daughter driving around in the middle of the night. She wanted some ice-cream, so I passed all the Circle K's and 7-11's and decided to stop at Sonic, even though there were 425 people hanging out and partying in the parking lot.
Well... another citizen just got a 2x4 between the eyes lesson in the "All Holy, Cops Can Do No Wrong" conditioning that Americans have been subjected to for years now. It mostly comes from the "Cops" type TV shows that are constantly blared on the tube. Not ONE of the shows ever shows the reality.. i.e., a typical cop will screw something up about once or twice a month. Usually they or their supervisor will just apologize to the victim and cut them loose. This time you got 425 simultaneous screwups, must be some kinda record....
