Couldn't Believe My Eyes (Local Wal-Mart turned blind eye to in-store indecent exposure)
8-25-2007 | RightFighter

Posted on 08/24/2007 10:17:50 PM PDT by RightFighter

I was walking through Wal-Mart this evening with my 9-year old son picking up some groceries. When we were all done, we went to the magazine section just prior to checking out. While I was standing there, I saw a young man of about 25-30 years old walking toward the register next to the magazines. Something struck me as odd, and I finally realized that it was his pants - they were down around his mid-thigh, so that his boxer shorts were fully exposed.

The next thing I noticed, and I will forever rue the day that I saw this, was that his boxer shorts were wide open in the front. I'll leave the rest up to your imaginations, since, sadly, it was a reality for me.

I am not normally the type to complain about things, but I felt this was necessary, so I went to the Customer Service counter and told the girl about what I saw. She looked at me with wide eyes, and promptly did NOTHING.

I then went out the door, and I stopped and told the greeter at the door that there was this situation and that I'd told the customer service girl and she had done nothing. The greeter told me that it was probably because Wal-Mart's policy doesn't allow employees to say anything to a customer that the customer might deem offensive. I said, "But this man is exposing himself in your store. That is against the law. It's not a matter of insulting him - you should be having him arrested."

I got the wide-eyed look again and more of the inaction the customer service girl gave me.

Then, in the parking lot, I saw a police officer. I tried to flag her down, but she drove right by me.

The question is, what more should I / could I have done?

Bonus Question: What fact is this narrative leaving out that you are just begging for?

I’d call the police now, then tomorrow I’d call my local newspaper. Wal-Mart will pay attention then.

Indecent Exposure is a crime.
Report it to the police.

You had every right to confront the pervert seeing that he was endangering the innocence of your 9 year old.

There was a guy years back attending UC Berkeley, going to class totally NAKED. He was known as the naked guy. The campus did nothing. After a while he started showing up in shopping malls totally naked. My girlfriend at the time was the manager at one of the malls and had to ask him to leave. A few years later naked guy committed suicide. True story.

See my post on this thread regarding Wal-Mart and shoplifting I witnessed:

They won’t do anything about it for fear of lawsuits.

With all due respect to your brother, I was a cop in Winston-Salem, NC for 25 years, and I would certainly have arrested this turd and pray he resisted arrest.

It’s pretty easy, even for a guy my age, to kick the crap out of a guy who has his pants down around his ankles and he is trying to get his pecker back in his underwear.....

I was heading out of our neighborhood one day, only to see a bum with some sort of alcohol laying back, pull out his you know what, and start peeing up in the air. I turned the car around and told my husband, who was still at the house, to call the police—their non emergency number of course. The person on the other end acted like my husband was silly for calling. He asked my husband, “What did he do, pee on her car?”

Walmart isn’t the safest place for kids:

Excerpt:

It took just seconds for a little girl to be molested by a Wal-Mart employee in June 2005. A store that wants to be known for its low prices, may be getting another reputation.

A four-year-old girl was molested in Arizona. There are allegations a six-year-old boy was nearly attacked in New Hampshire. In South Carolina a 10-year-old girl was molested in the electronics aisle. The Wal-Mart employee — a three time convicted sex offender.

Remember last year’s news in Friendswood? A 13-year-old boy was molested in the bathroom by Wal-Mart employee Amelcar Enriquez. (snip)

No, no, he wasn’t an immigrant.

Do they wear badges or something?

Perhaps a big I on their forehead?

You should have asked to see the store manager. The service clerk and greeter have little say because they are low on the totem pole. They know that their direct intervention could be disputed, as it is not their role to take disciplinary action. But the manager has a right and duty to hold customers to any in-store or public policy.

Years ago I was in a store called Jamesway, in the greeting card section. The display cases were arranged in such a way that the area was out of view of the main aisle of the store. I saw a peculiar acting man as I was searching for a card. I went from one display case to another and then back to one I had been at and much to my disgust he had left a full frontal polaroid of himself in amongst the cards.

I told the girl at the customer service desk about the picture and the perv. The result I later noticed was that they rearranged the display cases so the section was no longer secluded from view.

As for the sagging pants, my adult son wear his like that. He started as a young teenager. I was hoping he would have grown out of it by now but hasn’t happened yet and he’s 25 now. I just cannot see ‘the look’ as one of comfort, how do you walk with your pants falling off of you all the time and your boxers hanging out, just dumb! Hope your exhibitionist gets caught real soon!

I really don't know what people are thinking today. It's as though they all have some mental condition that causes them to lose all restraint. Then they fully believe they have the "right" to do anything they can think of doing and no one, not even those in authority seems to have the good sense to stop them.

It is a result of the "values free" dogma that has been preached for the past 40 years. People who are mentally disturbed or criminal are told that nothing is right or wrong and that they are entitled to do almost any anti-social thing they can imagine. While normal people are told it is wrong to judge right from wrong and they should passively accept anything someone does (even if someone is trying to kill them). Above all, people are conditioned to fear getting involved (even just to complain about something) because they know there is a chance that it will backfire and the authorities will side with the crazy person or criminal. Better just to mumble, "I know nothing" and pretend not to notice anything.

Be obvious, stand in front of the guy and take a picture. Most of us have cameras on our phone. Don’t talk to the guy, he may get violent. Print the picture and take it to the police department and file a formal report. You may be able to get him for indecent exposure and have him labeled a sex offender for the rest of his life.
It’s amazing how fast weirdos flee when there is a camera in their face.

Roll up a magazine and whack him on his pee-pee.

I did that already in college once, and the consequences of it were not fun to deal with.

I don't blame you at all. The liberals would be all over this and the freak would be their new "cause-du-jour".

Just yesterday Megan (Kendall)Kelley and her cohort, Bill ? on Fox were interviewing a Congressman who (because his constituents had asked him to) was introducing a bill to outlaw the 'trousers below the bottom' look...

..Megan & Bill seemed to take it as a joke, but the distinguished older man was very serious and truly upset by this kind of attire.

I hope he wins.
