WAL-MART A GOOD CITIZEN?
Federal Review ^ | 08/30/2005 | marblehead17

Posted on 08/30/2005 5:33:58 PM PDT by marblehead17

This may or may not be true. I just heard a Fox reporter say that a Wal-Mart in the New Orleans area opened it doors and told people to go get what they need to survive. If true, good for you Wal-Mart!

I doubt it - and I am a Wal-Mart fan.

as much as I hate sprawl-mart and its ilk I have seen this reported a couple of times...

All I got to say is good on them! :)

They did. And it turned into a riot. Even some fire fighters and National Guardsmen were reported to be looting the store...

But this can't be. According to the Marxist wing of FR, Wal-Mart is evil, destroys the little mom and pop stores, and all their junk is crap (cue the Made in China wisecracks). Never mind the fact that I bought a 27 inch Sanyo flat-screen there and it works beautifully.

How is this possible? I thought they were all in Iraq.

Walmart actually will do something ,like this.

They have a disaster response team.

Walmart also donated money to the Salvation army as soon as they new about the extensive damages.

I dread shopping at Walmart, but this is really wonderful of them. I think I'll drop them an email and say so.
