Re: Brawl at NY Walmart

We were looking at some land in that area (wild idea) once upon a time about building a cabin for summers. I think there was another small town nearby Westfield or Westville. It was just an idea. Our daddy lived in the Buffalo area at the time and it was one of those things that sounds good until you realize you have pipe electricity in.

Four people were arrested after a 30-person brawl erupted at a New York Wal-Mart, allegedly over an insult about a woman's dress, authorities said.

Thank you

A 30 person brawl? I can't even imagine that many unstable people in the same store (any store) at the same time, in the same area! What are the chances?

Very good. Mass hysteria is a true phenomenon. Think: after sports games (rowdy); think Thanksgiving night (rush in, brawl and shop).

Funny story about Wal Mart. I rarely if ever go to Wal Mart. My husband goes from time to time but I buy groceries mostly at Publix and Costco. Last Thanksgiving Day (and I did not know anything about Black Friday starting on Thanksgiving), I needed some phyllo shells for a dessert and a box of Stove Top for stuffed mushrooms for a post Thanksgiving family event the following day.

As everything was closed, I opted to go to Wal Mart rather than wait until the following morning. After we had left a late Thanksgiving lunch, cocktails and dessert at a friend's home, thinking I could get a head start on my part of the meal, my husband drove us to Wal Mart on the way home and he stayed in the car listening to a football game and I went in.

Totally unaware of what occurs at Wal Mart or any other big box store on Black Friday, I went in and noticed there were areas roped off. I did not undertand why and feared there was some kind of crime area. But I braved it, saw an employee and asked if I could go to (pointing) that part over there to get phyllo shells and (still pointing) over there to get stove top stuffing. I was told I could.

About the time I got my phyllo shells, I heard a whistle blow and ,people started running and a man knocked me against a cooler. I thought for sure we were under a terorist attack and I threw my box down and started running. I got to the door at the package check and did not stop. There were police cars all around the perimeter.

I quicly got into the car wtih my husband and told him to go, go, go as I thought that we were under a terrorist attack. He laughed so hard and told me it might seem like terrorism, but it is early Black Friday.

I decided people who go to that should particpate in worldwide wrestling.

Apparently they were all family member and/or friends of the first three characters.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.
