Brenda Speaks, a Ward 4 ANC commissioner, actually urged blocking construction of the planned store in her ward at Georgia and Missouri avenues NW partly because of that risk. Addressing a small, anti-Wal-Mart rally at City Hall on Monday, Speaks said young people would get criminal records when they couldn't resist the temptation to steal.


Can you imagine if somebody who was NOT a resident of the area made this objection? "You can't put a WalMart there; Those People won't be able to resist the temptation to steal!"

I can think of at least three somewhat crazy things she could have said that would have gone over better than that comment.

How about "people who don't know shit about produce will make bad decisions"

Walmart costs taxpayers $6.2 billion.

What's the real story behind these numbers? Is this legit or are they being tweaked?

Any low wage industry is going to have workers getting public assistance, Walmart didn't invent the phenomenon. They are just the big one that hippies have a hate boner over.

Shopping at Wal-Mart sucks. The aisles seem to keep getting narrower at the patrons get wider.

Much ado about nothing.

You know it was just some employee fucking around. Does it need to be national news?

Having seen how customers behave in Walmart, are we even really sure this was something a Walmart employee did?
