News for ya, FReepers...
This has all the markings of an attempt to start a trend -and it just may work for the leftist trash who hate all things successful in America. They have no focus, no goals and no plan. This is PERFECT for the bums because it requires almost NO effort or skill.
But, there is a counter to it.
If you do go to Walmart, just keep an eye on this happening, follow the bums out and get their license plate #s. If the bums don't have cars, tell security about it and point out the bums to them.
This is a crime, people. They're messing with private property; it belongs to Walmart until it's sold by Walmart.
A lot of businesses have photos of shoplifters available to their security teams. They could do something similar with this.
This, if you could get several hundred protestors together, would really would be effective if they hit the store all at once, at a busy time, like saturday morning.
However, I don't think Wal-Mart is all that scared. This would have to be done by literally hundreds of thousands of protestors, every single day, for months and months, for it to have an effect on Walmart's bottom line. That isn't going to happen.
Just a bunch of leftist loons showing, once again, that they can't think up and do anything that actually works and accomplishes an actual objective goal.
As for "tagging" those doing this, forget it. It is hard enough to get a conviction with a meaningful sentence for shoplifters caught red-handed with cartloads of merchandise. What these guys propose doing is technically illegal, but you wouldn't have a snowball's chance in Hell of getting a conviction.
"But, there is a counter to it."
Ship them all to Syria, Iran, & North Korea
Oh please... Walking around a store and putting things in a basket is NOT a crime... They're not doing much other than being a bunch of pains in the ass.
You might be able to get a prosecution of "loitering," but a successful prosecution would be doubtful. When confronted, they could simply say "I just remembered an important appointment that I have to get to" and leaving. There's no "law" that says a customer has to put things they've loaded into a shopping cart back, if they decide not to buy it. They've done absolutely nothing to damage the property of Walmrt.
