Report: Macon Wal-Mart mob wanted to see how much damage it could do
www.macon.com ^ | June 29, 2015 | By JOE KOVAC JR.

Surveillance video of a wee-hours ruckus at a Macon Wal-Mart on Sunday shows a teenager race inside flashing gang signs ahead of a mob of four dozen or so people who burst in and smashed merchandise.

The commotion, which caused an estimated $2,000 in damage, appears to have been planned.

Some in the crowd also snatched a man, apparently a shopper at the Zebulon Road store, from a motorized shopping cart and dragged him to the floor, Bibb County sheriff’s officials said Monday.

The vandals, said to number between 40 and 50, sprinted down the store’s main aisle about 1:50 a.m. Sunday, “destroying merchandise displays and items,” a sheriff’s deputy’s report of the incident noted.

Floors in parts of the store were “coated with broken merchandise,” the report added. “The length of the store from front to rear was lined with items which had been shattered, destroyed, turned over and thrown about.”

When sheriff’s deputies got there, the crowd “began to flee into many different vehicles and leave the scene,” the report said.

The store, next to Lowe’s, is just east of Interstate 475 in one of the area’s most frequented shopping districts.

The teenager seen leading the rushing horde of young men and women told a Wal-Mart employee “that this was a planned event ... to see how much damage they could cause,” the sheriff’s report said.

The teen, identified as 17-year-old Kharron Nathan Green, of Ashton Drive in northwest Bibb County, was arrested when he returned to the store to retrieve his cellphone.

Green was jailed and later released on bond after being charged with inciting a riot and second-degree damage to property.

Green, according to the sheriff’s report, first told cops that “he did not know anything about what had happened in the store and that he did not know anyone involved.”

But when his mother and father arrived and watched the surveillance footage with sheriff’s deputies, the report said “Green admitted to his parents that the male in the video was indeed him.”

He refused to name others in the crowd, but according to the report said they had all come from a party on the city’s south side.

“Hopefully we can identify the others,” Sheriff David Davis said Monday. “Hopefully it’s not a pattern of behavior.”

Davis wondered about the parental supervision of the young people involved.

“Due to the lateness of the hour,” he said, “I don’t know that they were going to be going to church the next morning.”

Walmart supports continued and increased EBT handouts because it helps their bottom line. This is one of the results of such policies. IMO they deserve this and more.

It just says “vandals.” Draw your own conclusions.

When I hear the word "Vandals", I think of the Visigoths, Ostrogoths, and the Lombards as well.

Oh wow! The BIG JAKE shower scene comes to mind!
And the bath scene in THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY!
Then there is the scene in THE WAR WAGON with Kirk Douglas, but he wasn’t taking a shower (”Precious?”);-D

But, but Walmart getting rid of all those nasty confederate flags was supposed to issue in an era of Peace, Love! Rainbows, Unicorns!

Maybe some people didn’t get the word! They weren’t even looting, just destroying!

At the very least, he could have benefited from a faster cart to get away from them.

These Yutes who participate in such uncivilized behavior are incredibly stupid (e.g., returning to the crime scene to retrieve a cellphone) and are, IMHO, OBSOLETE and are incapable of fitting into modern civilization. Only a small minority will ever actually be productive members of society.

‘They’ are not the concern of the democrat masters. It is their name on votes that is their only value.

Word of advice (from my inner city school experience): This summer, be aware of gang signs and the beginnings of swarming activities. It’s probably best not to be around groups of three or more youths or young adults whose purpose in being where they are doesn’t fit the environment.

Hmm, snatched a guy off of a motorized shopping cart?

Reasonable fear of death or grave bodily harm ...

BTW, this is one reason we need standard capacity magazines.

One of the selling features for Glocks, besides being totally reliable, is that I can slam a 17 or 30 round mag into the concealed carry Glock and keep on spittin’ lead.
