Pictorial proof that this country has deliberately created and nurtured a permanent dependent underclass.
As a consequence of this government intervention, the underclass is undisciplined, irresponsible, law-breaking and selfish.
And what’s worse, the underclass hates the responsible, hard-working people who go to work every day and watch 40% of their earnings siphoned off to go to the underclass.
When the SHTF the 47% will turn immediately rabid. Be ready to protect your families.
“bargaining chip” makes complete sense as well. That’s where they’ll start.
I bet they hardly touched the fresh veggies and fruit.
Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Excellent point.
Riot police all over the place "protecting" nothing because citizens wanted to enjoy their monuments (stop calling them federal "property!) while a flash mob robs and trashes a huge store, with no law enforcement presence in sight.
What's wrong with this picture?
I wonder how long frozen and cold food SAT in the baskets in the isles before being put back on the shelves...ick.
How is it that this “glitch” came to be? The program has been in place for a long time. Why a problem now?
Creating a crisis so it can’t go to waste.
The corruption of those in charge and their collusion with those for whom the mob is beneficial. In this case Walmart execs.
Look carefully at photos inside those stores with the parasites present. Half of them are on obamaphones calling the rest of the vermin mob...
Free stuff is free stuff. They don't actually have to need it. They can use it to trade for drugs, guns, gold chains, whatever...
“Here’s a glimpse into the social pandemonium and mayhem when that day comes and the proverbial sh*t hits the fan.”
I can’t buy into this, all the government has to do is print more money. There will never be a shortage of digits you can type into an electronic account.
The EBT cards will always be funded first, ahead of social security checks or medicare funding.
One can only wish...
All citizens are equal, except the elected criminals, their enforcement arm of endless bureaucrats, and the parasite class.
How long can that last?
You are nearly echoing what I said when I first heard about this. Could they really not anticipate what would happen? Those people were nowhere near starvation and were more than capable of doing without taxpayer funded freebies for a few more hours.
I thought Walmart would have learned their lesson when, a few years back, those people got crushed against the glass doors trying to get in to a sales event. Mob mentality is not rational and, in the moral wasteland our society is becoming, mobs can form just about anywhere people think they can gain personal advantage.
If the people at Walmart can’t manage a situation like this with care, then they need to find better managers who can.
Preppers’ PING!!

Only until the instant they need their blood more than they need their votes.
How many votes does a dictator for life need again?
Exactly. Most people can’t store a lot of food in their living space. These people weren’t stealing food to store it. 20% of American homes are receiving food stamps. Why? I understand that a large percentage of our population are thieves who will do most anything for money, but shouldn’t there be checks on these kinds of people? The Democrats do a lot of yammering about helping the poor, but it’s just a front for buying votes from the middle class. I just looked, and you can lease a Mercedes for less than $350 a month. If your household gets $350 a month in food stamps, that frees up $350 to lease a Mercedes. It’s not welfare, it’s good old-fashioned Democrat vote buying. The Democrats are giving their voters new cars. Time to audit food stamps.
How many stores had this experience? It seems all the reporting is on these two Louisiana locations. If so, what did the other stores do to prevent this (a la Aldies “no EBT cards accepted”)?
Seems like Wal-Mart screwed the pooch on this one.
Haven’t read the article yet. Here’s my 2 cents -
People think it a ‘glitch’, some say it a ‘dry run’.
Has anybody thought about in the near future Obama using it as a threat/weapon?
Anytime he’s displeased with the sheeple, he’s releasing the zombie horde, he’s in effect our dictator (all but in the name).
This is the execs responsibility. The amount of money that was stolen from the EBT system (govt revenue funded) is above a manager’s pay grade
I had a friend who’s mother was, in her ‘60s or so, manic depressive. The mother, formerly very fabulous and still very wealthy, went out, off her meds, and spent thousands on a pile of shoes. It was a NY suburban villeinage. The shipowner knew this family, as he did all of us
My friend, college age at the time, went in to the store with all the shoes and returned them. She had a pithy lecture for, not the cashier, the manager. He had a lot of bleep nerve selling this amount of stuff to an obviously sick woman, taking advantage of her
Same deal here
No respect for others’ money. Especially govt money.
