Springhill Police Chief Will Lynd confirms they were called in to help the employees at Walmart because there were so many people clearing off the shelves. He says Walmart was so packed, “It was worse than any black Friday” that he’s ever seen.
Lynd explained the cards weren’t showing limits and they called corporate Walmart, whose spokesman said to let the people use the cards anyway. From 7 to 9 p.m., people were loading up their carts, but when the cards began showing limits again around 9, one woman was detained because she rang up a bill of $700.00 and only had .49 on her card. She was held by police until corporate Walmart said they wouldn’t press charges if she left the food.

It happened in Hazlehurst well. One welfare queen loudly exclaimed ‘imma burn dis place down!’ when she found her card wasn’t working.
I’ve since heard that particular walmart started just letting them have $50 of groceries ‘free’ apparently to stave off what happened in Philadelphia Miss.
Absolutely, positively, a display of the corrupt human heart at work.
It cannot be fixed by anything other than Christ.
It scanned their cards, it just wouldn’t show how much was stored on their cards. I’m not sure if anyone has determined who is on the hook for the charges.
The person who bought the food
The government who’s system wasn’t working
Or Walmart
Walmart issued the order for the store to accept the cards knowing that they might be already overdrawn.
rush talking about this now...
Was looter man there?
You’ve no idea how many rural dogs are fed via roadkill deer.
Lots.
I was in a Kmart in Stockton California. The power went out for a few moments and suddenly a stampede headed for the door. The moment darkness fell, numerous people in the store ran outside with whatever merchandise they were holding at the time. I was dazed with shock when the lights went back on and the store was nearly empty - the power wasn’t off for more than 2 minutes. How could so many people have thievery in their hearts so that they could instantly take advantage of a momentary power loss? The store had been filled with white, low income persons - some of the holding the hands of children as they browsed through the store, looking like ordinary people. But they were takers...it was like a scene from the movie “The Body Snatchers.”
“EBT cards have become a major part of the engine which drives our consumer economy.”
The entire economies of most Democrat-run inner-cities, like Detroit, or Memphis, now subsist almost entirely on Government and drug money, from EBT’s to grants, which finance the drug trade, which finances just about everything else.
When food stamps became handouts, instead of purchases, this began in earnest.
I am relieved we taxpayers don’t have to pay for this and that the president is providing it. Obamamoney. Thank you Hero of Benghazi.
What got me was the mention of something called the “bridge cards”.
I think they are like cards that “bridge the gap” for when someones normal EBT runs out.
It’s food stamps for people on food stamps!!
Thanks! I'd forgot about road kill becoming an important source of food in Obama's "transformed" America! ;)
Let’s be honest. It’s just more stealing by a mob.
“It was worse than any black Friday”
Hmmmm. New meaning for “Black Friday”?
“Free food”: What they don’t have to eat, for sustenance and to maintain those 54” waistlines, they can sell to buy fun stuff.
Canned foods are the favorite, especially meats. A bud of mine in the FBI once broke up a ring which was hijacking and selling mostly canned tuna-fish. Long shelf life, durable packaging, relatively small size, national brand names and not so easy to trace.
The amateurs, of course, go after anything to turn a quick buck. The pros are a lot more selective.
I sometimes wonder if some of that really bargained priced canned goods which you can buy at places like Big Lots have been laundered through such a system. We're talking big business here. My bud in the FBI says they think is may be conservatively about 20% of the size of the above ground economy. More generous estimates range as high as 50%. That's one hell of a lot of taxes which are being evaded . . . and a number which can only grow as the government's take increases.
BTW, I’ve no idea what’s local to you but we’ve found that getting dog food at the local animal feed store is way cheaper than wallyworld. And it seems to be better quality (ie, higher protein content) than the stuff at walmart too.
I’ll bet ther had a run on lobster, filet mignon, and Mums champagne.
During the communist famines it was the underground “black” market that kept some families from starving to death. Especially in North Korea in the mid-90’s where a saying developed that those who trusted the government the most were the first to starve (waiting for the government to help)
NK is in another commie famine now.
Everything that is happening in America is part of a carefully constructed plan to overwhelm us with more “situations” than we can handle. That way, barry and his boys slip another screw job past the watchers.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but there are just too many coincidences for comfort.
