Hatchet Control, Now!
Congress must IMMEDIATELY move to ban Walmarts./s
Hmmm...bad stuff, getting attacked by a hatchet. Ask my brother, he knows! ‘Course, we were only 5 and 7 at the time...and I didn’t really hit him all that hard...
Hey, Walmart: Maybe you shouldn’t be ejecting Open Carry customers, hmmmmMMMMMMMMMM???
Sounds like the transient guy was just axing for help.
Poor customer service. They ignore him when he said, “Let me ax you sumpin’.....”
I made my once a year trip to the local Wally World yesterday, I was packing.
I would say based on what Ive read that this is probably another example of the broken mental health system. A local woman here just won a $300,000 settlement after being attacked and hurt in front of her 6 y/o. The assailant in this case had a long history, including self-medication with meth. Even his own father had warned the authorities. (Sound familiar? Families of mental patients are at a disadvantage. They can’t do much.) In Seattle over the past 10 or 15 years, they’ve had scenarios like this with every conceivable kind of weapon. Sometimes the body count is fairly high, as in the Cafe Racer case, other times victims are merely injured. A woman was stabbed to death on New Year’s Eve 2007 a block from my apt. in Seattle. He openly admitted that it was random, that she was “in the wrong place at the wrong time.” It could have been any unarmed person in that neighborhood and everybody knows it. I know that a certain number of bad things will happen and can’t be prevented, but I really think that there are improvements that need to be made in mental health laws. I know that civil libertarians are afraid of abuses in involuntary commitment and I know that’s a serious concern but there has to be a better way than what were doing now. The book that opened my eyes on the history of this is called Madness in the Streets. I forget the author.
I used to shop at this Wal-Mart when we lived in Marshall. It was one of the cleanest and better managed Wal-Marts I have shopped at.
When hatchets are outlawed, only outlaws will have hatchets.
Was it an Assault Hatchet with Banana Clips?

When I was in my teens I used have a very vivid dream about something similar happening in our old W-M. Thankfully haven’t had the dream again after they closed that store and opened the crappy Supercenter.

One thing this dream caused was for me to always form a mental plan for defense and offense when I go in a building the first time. I am always aware of what is going on around me. Also do this for possible storms and figure out where most likely to survive in each part of the building.
There is a reason I like carrying a large cross-body purse. ;-`)
