Shooting in Lumberton Walmart, stabbing at Clayton Walmart (Murphy) shooting in Virginia Walmart. We need to ban Walmart.
Clearly the article states that it happened at a gas station…Walmart has nothing to do with people being evil “Captain Obvious”.
Ummm Murphy is Walmart. Duh
Murphys isn’t a part of Walmart! 2 didn’t company’s
(Walmart) has NOTHING to do with these events!! It IS criminal activity or mentally unstable PEOPLE commiting these acts!!
One event wasn’t even AT Walmart, just near it!!
Gezzzz..I guess if stuff like this happened on or near your property..YOU should be banned!!??
You don’t get it do you? It’s called sarcasm. Sheesh.
Between this, the shooting at the vape store, and food lion as of recent, seems to me I might as well be raising my kids in Durham County.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
