People of WalMart, always good for a laugh. I dont even go to the one off of 1431 Anymore, there be Dragons

Maybe he's an Eco-Terrorist. Those flat screens use a lot of electricity and create tons of heat.

That's probably why he didn't use a wood bat.

NO! Speaking of TV's, did anyone see the girl literally getting stomped in Seattle last night while the contract "Security" people watched? It was sickening...and I've seen a lot.

I saw that last night - unbelievable! Even more amazing that no one moved in to help her. What's the point of having "Security" guards if they're not legally allowed to intervene to provide security to those using the establishment under their "jurisdiction"?

Maybe he's a fan of Office Space.

Like you, I couldn't believe such a vicious girl on girl attack...with spectators posed as "security" guards. I suspect that large sums of money are going to change hands with the help of this taped video.

I think the only way you could have drawn on the guy is if you were standing between the TV and the bat as he was swinging.
