Occupy Dallas protesters infiltrated an Oak Cliff Wal-Mart this evening -- a demonstration that ended when as many as a dozen Dallas police cars showed up to hustle them out.
"They went in slow, four at a time," said Richard Beebe, who watched the operation unfold as he sat outside the store, off Cockrell Hill Road at Interstate 30, collecting donations for homeless veterans.
A few of the protesters dropped money into his box, Beebe said, before "they started raising hell."
I got there after the protestors had been dispersed. And police and Wal-Mart managers wouldn't comment. But back at Occupy Dallas' base camp behind City Hall, the Wal-Mart raiders were happy to detail their operation.
"We always planned to march on Wal-Mart," said Dack Decker, who wouldn't exactly blend in at the store with his button-festooned denim jacket and yellow-streaked hair. "But it didn't come together until about 10 minutes before."
Decker (real name, he tells me) said he and roughly two dozen protestors went into the store covertly at 6 p.m. and spent 15 minutes stashing fliers inside products.
"Then we blew a whistle."

Send garbage trucks to haul these vermin away. The landfill ain’t half full.
Employees should have gone to the paintball aisle...
Need more nightsticks!
Children ‘acting out’....
I completely agree. I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t happen.
There is no Oak Cliff Walmart.
And how many of them will be back the day after Thanksgiving to try to get their hands on a $50.00 flat screen TV?
That is when you will see a real Occupy Wal-Mart.
They were chanting “what’s disgusting? Union busting”. Wonder who is behind this?/s
“There is no Oak Cliff Walmart.”
I was thinking the same thing. I think they must mean the one on Wheatland, which is very close to OC.
We don’t need to change the law (which could affect us negatively). Just enforce disorderly conduct laws, which is evidently what they did here.
It will happen again. Bigger and in more places. Coordinated using social media and flash mob tactics.
Walmart Supercenter, 1521 N Cockrell Hill Rd, Dallas, TX 75211
Oak Cliff is very black and has been since the 1972 white flight. Very unusual place to protest.
Meant to add that address is not in Oak Cliff. If the Dallas Morning News can’t get that right, well...
“”We always planned to march on Wal-Mart,” said Dack Decker, who wouldn’t exactly blend in at the store with his button-festooned denim jacket and yellow-streaked hair.”
Wouldn’t blend in? Obviously this reporter hasn’t seen the People of Walmart website. A half-naked African witch doctor with a belt full of shrunken heads would blend in at Walmart.
