Walmart would have needed ten times their usual security.
The computer "glitch" was discovered when someone overran their available funds, realized it, and was not flagged by the computer. Word quickly spread by ObamaPhone, and the store was overrun by minority shoppers within a short time.
When the store recognized the problem things quickly got ugly when they tried to reign in purchases. To prevent severe civil unrest Walmart just ran the cards.
I do not understand how any of this can be considered Walmart's fault.
There were two stores where this happened. One was in Springhill, LA, and the other in Mansfield, LA. They are about 60 miles apart, as the crow flies.
What exactly did Walmart do to try to reign in the purchases? What were the state procedures they were supposed to follow?
I have a hard time believing Walmart couldn't call up the local police force and ask for assistance. The police here practically station people at Walmart because they generate so much tax revenues.
