Well the police are in on it as well according to more than one report from local news. So much for government officials being the supposed protector of life, liberty, and property.

"but this will drive the Dems/Libs/Dummies nuts."


LOL that's true. They could be a lot more generous if they built a few factories down there and put people to work making products to sell in their stores.

[Odyssey-x]

Of course this is also the good heart of their insurance carrier, if they cover the looting.

I saw pictures of one very large Wal-Mart that had at least 5 feet of water at it's door.

Everything is ruined anyway and all non-preservable food will be rotten in a day so it only makes sense.

If it only makes sense and if it is good for public relations, just open the doors and walk away. It only makes sense.

Wal-Mart in the New Orleans area opened it doors and told people to go get what they need to survive.

Yeah ... and next week lawsuits start flying because people were injured in the ensuing rush to empty the shelves.

Wal-Mart is self-insured

Lee Scott WM CEO was on with Neal Cavutto this afternoon.
He said WM was not concerned about Profits,the people need help and that was there first thought at this time. Plus they sent in Truck loads of food and water.

I was so thrilled when our neighborhood WM opened this past May! I had to travel a good distance to get my groceries and now it takes me less than 5mins. to get there...YEHAWWWWWWWWWW..

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS WALMART!;0)

If they could do it in a cost effective way, I agree.

[TheForceOfOne]

They would have been looted anyway so why not put a public relations move on it. Boy, the advertising commercial must be right around the corner. I'm sure between writing it off on their taxes and flood insurance Walmart will be just fine.

[newfrpr04]

I wonder about that, most policies state you have to take what all precautions to prevent further damage and remove property that can be saved, but if you're under several feet of water I guess you can't resell it. Why would they risk getting sued for an injury , people get kind of crazy when "Free" signs are posted

It's got be be awful hard to carry loads of clothes/linens that are soaking wet. What about the guns , do they sell them at Walmart? or is that K-Mart.

[DugwayDuke]

Let me see, the walmart is full of stuff, there's no one to guard the stuff, the stuff is about to be under 20 feet of water, the insurance will pay for all the stuff, why not let folks in who might, I said might, need the stuff?

[TheForceOfOne]

Where I live, Walmart also sells guns and ammo, did they let them have ANYTHING they wanted?

[marblehead17]

I have no idea.

[TheForceOfOne]

I read on another thread a cop was shot by a looter and just started wondering about that type of free for all. The gun shops would also be a worry. I imagine the banks had a plan or they're guarded.

[VastRWCon]

Everything is "Made in China" so "Garbage IN, Garbage OUT". What's the problem?

[marblehead17]

Banks? Good question? I seem to remember a rescue group that broke into a bank building so they could house people there.

[TheForceOfOne]

I'm thinking about these kind of things because as this drags on for days, weeks, and possibly months the ones still there will become animals in all aspects to survive. They need to remove everyone out of the city, everyone.

[Milly]

Thank You . I Think WalMart does a fantastic job in the local community's.

WAL-MART A GOOD CITIZEN?

Why the question mark?

Wal-Mart is one of the first business to swing into action after any disaster. Right behind the SA and the Red Cross you will find Wal-mart sending them supplies.

I have never understood the pathological hate of this company.
