Well it is hard to work when you’re stuck in jail. 😉
Apparently someone forgot to fact check again. That’s not Walmart address and it wasn’t after 9. Oopsy. So no, walmart apparently is not the only ones. I looked up the address and it’s Mills Fleet Farm.

You are correct on this. Thanks for pointing the error out. The corrections to the story are made.
No problem 🙂
Just another damn thief. We should bring back the death penalty and make it with no appeals.
That’s a bit extreme. I’d settle for cutting off an arm so they are easily identified. If they get caught twice- i hope they can feed themself with their feet.
