Guess those miscreants will straighten up and fly right now. Maybe they’ll even mind their “Ps” and “Qs” too. Nobody wants a “letter” in their Wal-Mart dossier.

DO IT! Close the stores in the areas where the BLM/Free Stuff Army are running amok. Let them live with the consequences of their actions.
