When do we see "The Showdown at the Walmart Parking Lot" on a movie screen, because quite honestly it sounds like the fucking OK Corral.

store and the area, attracted to this new location by the store, they changed from 24 hours to closing at midnite, re-open at 5 or 6.

Cops were arresting people, then picking up a couple things in line.

Matthew 24 Now!

They either think the christian end times are happening, or they are actively trying to encourage them to happen.

Either way, how do eight people live in an SUV in a parking lot for days on end? And the children were 11 and 15, which means they, pretty much, take up as much room as an adult.

But since they're "Christian", this won't be connected to their religion in any way. It will be because they're just an odd little group of people.

Does this mean that Arizona should declare war on Idaho, since they've been invaded and all?

I left there in around '88 and haven't been back.

When I left they had two grocery stores and a McDonalds (the McDonalds was BIG news when it went int). It was still a very small town.

They had a family band called "Matthew 24"?

"The Gaver family, which shot a cop during a colossal weekend brawl, had been living in an SUV parked in front of the big-box store for days, police said. The family was known in Boise for playing music in front of grocery stores in a street band called Matthew 24 Now, KIVI reported."


Matthew 24, to my recollection is real wrath of God type stuff. (cue Dr. Venkman).
