15 hurt after 'unhappy customer' pepper-sprays Black Friday shoppers

[proud2BlibKansan]

Fifteen Black Friday bargain-hunters suffered minor injuries at a crowded Wal-Mart store in Los Angeles late Thursday after an angry woman used pepper spray when shoppers tried to cut in line.

The incident occurred shortly after 10:20 p.m. PT (1:20 a.m. ET Friday) in the San Fernando Valley as shoppers looking for deals were let inside the store.

Shawn Lenske, a Los Angeles fire department spokesman, said the injuries were due to "rapid crowd movement."

NBC News reported police said no more than 15 were hurt, 10 of them for the effects of inhalation of pepper spray.

2. I wonder why they are looking for the woman?

Pepper spray is a food product, essentially.

pepper spray is a little excessive.

18. Christwire is a satire site.

Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing.

30. That website's a joke, isn't it?

[Aerows]

33. That's a parody site, right?

I mean look at the articles. Straight out of The Onion. "URGENT! Sign the White House Ban on the Dangerous Video Game “Sky Rim“ and "Is The Obama Administration Placing Continine In the Drinking Water to Induce Homosexual"

LMAO.

[JoePhilly]

[Scuba]

24. Perfect! n/t

[hollowdweller]

16. OWS police cancel Black Friday Clear out shoppers

Because of incidents such as this they can no longer guarantee the safety of the shoppers so they must be cleared from stores and the stores shut down right?? I mean doesn't that follow the logic?

[durablend]

20. Not sure about that

I mean if it were to go according to "plan", shouldn't the police have helped the pepper spraying woman out with their industrial strength brew?

[B Calm]

21. Did the police arrest the 15 shoppers who were peppered sprayed?

[Tesha]

22. They can't have been hurt: pepper spray is a perfectly safe food product. (NT)

[JoePhilly]

25. Fox news chryon says ... "15 homeless people received free food at Wal-Mart"

[sarcasmo]

32. It's pepper based

:)

[Kablooie]

26. That woman should be put on administrative leave with pay.

34. oh.. that's the walmart nearest to me! I never go there but I know it.

[Aerows]

35. I hope her defense is

"But Fox News told me it wasn't harmful. These people cut into line, and I was told that pepper spraying was the proper response to dealing with people who break the rules. Ask any right wing site."

36. K&R

[slackmaster]

37. The scariest thing to me about this incident is that the perpetrator probably votes and worse yet...

...she allows her television to tell her what to want, what's important in life, and who to vote for. Like most voters.

:nuke:

38. I'm sorry but that is just funny. NT
