Morally Overdrawn – ObamaCard Shoppers Clean Out Walmart!

AttackOfTheBankruptStrippers Saturday was interesting, especially for a couple of WalMart stores in Louisiana, where hordes of EBT holders proved that no good deed ever goes unpunished!

An incident apparently unrelated to the government shutdown (unless they were testing for reaction) caused the EBT transaction processing systems serving 17 states with the highest percentages of Food Stamp recipients (EBT card holders) to go offline on Saturday morning, resulting in many of the residents of ‘Uncle Sam’s Plantation’ being unable to shop for food for the weekend.

By early afternoon, the twitter feeds were getting angry, and a goodly number of the nation’s most entitled were calling for riots as stores were forced to announce that they could not honor EBT cards due to the outage, and many government dependents angrily abandoned their carts and stomped out. Not a pretty scene, but that wasn’t the worst of it…..

WalMart stores in Springhill and Mansfield, LA were stripped bare on Saturday evening as word got out amongst the ObamaCard holders that it was open season at the stores. Why? Because these stores had called HQ when the EBT system broke down, and were told that it was OK to let shoppers use them anyway, rather than turn them away. BIG MISTAKE – I’ll let KSLA-12 pick up the story…

KSLA-12 The chaos that followed ultimately required intervention from local police, and left behind numerous carts filled to overflowing, apparently abandoned when the glitch-spurred shopping frenzy ended.

Springhill Police Chief Will Lynd confirms they were called in to help the employees at Walmart because there were so many people clearing off the shelves. He says Walmart was so packed, “It was worse than any black Friday” that he’s ever seen.

Lynd explained the cards weren’t showing limits and they called corporate Walmart, whose spokesman said to let the people use the cards anyway. From 7 to 9 p.m., people were loading up their carts, but when the cards began showing limits again around 9, one woman was detained because she rang up a bill of $700.00 and only had .49 on her card. She was held by police until corporate Walmart said they wouldn’t press charges if she left the food.

Lynd says at 9 p.m., when the cards came back online and it was announced over the loud speaker, people just left their carts full of food in the aisles and left.

Just about everything is gone, I’ve never seen it in that condition,” said Mansfield Walmart customer Anthony Fuller.

Walmart employees could still be seen putting food from the carts away as late as Sunday afternoon. “I was just thinking, I’m so glad my mom doesn’t work here [Walmart] anymore, that’s the only thing I could think about, those employees working, that would have to restock all that stuff,” said O.J Evans who took cell phone video of the overflowing shopping carts at the Mansfield Walmart.

Evans believes it was natural human reaction that led people to fill up their carts during the glitch, but Walmart shoppers Stan and Judy Garcia feel very differently. “That’s plain theft, that’s stealing that’s all I got to say about it,” said Garcia.

INDEED. Morally overdrawn would be the kindest way of describing these locusts, who were only one step away from full scale looting. See, this entitled class which government has bred doesn’t care who or what pays for their lifestyle – it’s all free money to them, regardless of whether it comes from you, the taxpayer, WalMart’s pockets, Bernanke’s printing press, or “Obama’s Stash”! Why should they stop to worry if they’ve spent their entire food allowance on booze already – hey! Walmart’s letting us “shop” anyway – let’s clean ’em out! And clean ’em out, they did.

Moral decay like this cannot end well. Be warned.
