LOUISVILLE, Ky. -
Police say a Kentucky woman was arrested after she tried to buy iPads with her food stamp card.
Tracy Browning, of Louisville, KY, attempted to buy two iPads at Walmart with her Electronic Benefit Transfer card. When the card was declined, police said Browning grabbed the items, ran from the store and assaulted a store clerk on her way out of the store.

Hmmmm ... I never saw any of these signs at the local Apple Store in my town. Maybe I need to look closer?
EBT cards are also debit cards for more than food.
I’m surprised it declined..........
If she can shop and run that fast, she can certainly work. Cut her sorry ass off welfare and let her work like the rest of us.
Nothing like getting a few wrinkles in the belly to motivate a job search.
Guess she thought she had a right to those iPads.

Trayvons Mom?
Of course..dont ya know..everything is now a “right.” All part of the progressive left social justice agenda
She could be obama’s sister
guess she didn’t hear zero is only giving her phones so far
Another Amish Criminal, I see
hang on.... those ObamaPhones ain’t good enough for you princess??
She did her part, now it is payback time: free stuff for ebrybody!
I saw that sign on a vendor’s table at BJs Wholesale club. I was furious. The guy was selling FUDGE. When did it change to being able to buy luxury items?
If you want the luxury items, i.e. non nutritional foods, GET A JOB or do without. Besides, you and your fat kids don’t need the calories.
Well, the program which compels productive citizens to finance the telephones of the entitled class is affectionately called ‘Obamaphones’, (although Obama is not the one picking up the tab).
She merely took the initiative to commence the ObamaPads program. By applying the force personally to the store clerk, she bypassed the Federal government and created a more efficient Obamaism than Obama himself is capable of.
It is ethically similar: force is applied to productive citizens to strip them of possessions, which may then be supplied to Obama supporters. She merely cut out the middleman.
The irony of your statement is that if they need foodstamps, they shouldn’t be able to afford cable.
A few days ago...I was behind a woman with a couple kids. She bought the kids..some candy of some sort...with food stamps. Then she bot a pack of cig's with cash. I dunno if the kids were her's or not....but she got in a SUV...newer than mine. WTF!?!?
