The area where this store is situated, in Baltimore County southwest of the City of Baltimore, is not as bad as this story would lead you to believe. However, it's a 24-hour Super Walmart that draws, shall we say, an undesirable element because of its proximity to one of America's most violent cities.
What angers me is can't shop in my own neighborhood; I end up driving an extra ten miles to another Walmart just to avoid this cesspool. But when I do go there - armed, of course - I think of it as sociology research. Observing parents bringing their very young children to buy groceries at one A.M. Wondering why so many people with baskets full of groceries are paying with EBT cards (Independence Cards in the Democratic People's Republic of Maryland) and why so many of them are so FAT! Doing a slow burn when I see people - usually the Amish - with their attitude of entitlement and their utter contempt for what used to be just acceptable public behavior. Rude, churlish and obnoxious people who let their ill-mannered kids run around like ferrets on a double espresso while they gab away - oblivious and apathetic to how LOUD they are - on their ever-present cell phones.
This Walmart is urban America after years and years of Democrat rule and it will only get worse if Øbama gets a second term. The once great and beautiful state of Maryland has given to the American electorate (you have my sincere apologies) such liberal luminaries like "San Fran Nan" Pelosi, Barbara Mikulski and now Martin Owe'Malley - the telegenic, carpet-bagging pinko that calls illegal aliens "New Americans". If it wasn't for the proximity to Washington and the government largess it provides, Maryland would be a third-world country.
Why do I stay? I want to see my daughters through their undergraduate degrees. After that, I am GONE.
Now if you want to know how I really feel...
Ten Beers; you refer to the everpresent proliferation of cell phones amongst our downtrodden and poor. OK are they also so stupid NONE of them got this live?
I mean really, this truly toxic bit*h brawl could be worth bucks; I might pay a buck or so to watch it. My Wallyworld ain’t near this much fun!
Do continue. Let it ALL out. You'll feel so much better. We'll be here for you.
What you’ve described is the ever present attitude of that pathetic demographic. They’ve never learned civility.
Trust me, it's all over Baltimore County. My favorite store in NW Baltimore County is a prime target of disgusting behavior and kids gone wild around dangerous tools and equipment and expensive, fragile materials. Don't even try to point out that they may get hurt by running without supervision. Suddenly, the parents appear to accuse you of "political incorrectness", to put it mildly.
