shopping4my3son Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 An update: http://www.fox11online.com/dpp/news/local/fox_cities/woman-sentenced-for-black-friday-outburst Someone was really out of control last year at Menards. I normally go to this store for some items but last year was the first time in a long time I didn't need to go. There's also a video on youtube.
otonoh Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 kind of feel sorry for her, Is a cart load of cheap merchandise really worth the price she paid. I went to Menards in Wausau a few years ago, never going back. There bargains weren't worth the inability to move in the store and the long and slow check out lines. I don't think stores realize that for every customer they gain, they also lose them, when their stores become chaotic mad houses.
jaymacfla Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 It seems like people went way out of their way to force a conviction. After nearly a year, a slap on the wrist was all she ended up deserving anyway. If you listen closely, some people in the background can be heard inciting her.
96bravo Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 This nonsense is going to continue until serious injuries occur. They should have locked her up. Risking a catastrophe Incitment to riot Reckless behavior Something that would stick on her record. Make an example. If this witch can't control her hissy fits, the County Jail might teach her some manners. Yurg
Rockfordmom Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 feel sorry for someone that started pushing over merchandise in a store & could have hurt someone or broke stuff in the store? ummm, no stores are chaotic enough without idiots making it worse, and people incited her? she's not 3 years old

Unless she is mentally ill we all have free will and make our own choices. People only responded to her AFTER she decided to just jump in their line while someone kindly allowed her to pass through.

Both store employees and customers can and should control the line. Being passive and letting someone through is no way to play it.
bfaddict1977 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 look at the cabbage patch frenzy back in the 80's. People were hitting each other and getting into fights over those dolls. BF is no different. So sad:( Not worth it to me for saving a few bucks.
rogue1230 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 what had happened prior to make her tip over the cart, was it her cart? the story I read just had the vid and her conviction

How something so ugly could be so popular is beyond me :)
zim05 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 what had happened prior to make her tip over the cart, was it her cart? the story I read just had the vid and her convictionThe original BF Youtube video describes the events leading up to her actions and subsequent conviction. Her conviction is quite mild compared to her outburst... - in the description box, it is a bit long.
bigjimslade Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Here is a strange story. This is the first time I have seen this. http://news.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474980415021 Click the link to see the video!
noehlp Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Wow, she's a mouthy young girl! She was ninja-like when she jumped on that dolly/cart!
mcwalker Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Actually, there was another thread about this case. (Came up while you were in Oklahoma, I guess.) http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?230166-Black-Friday-Craziness-news-story-update-from-last-year
bigjimslade Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Thanks for pointing me to the first thread. It is late. How did you know I was in Oklahoma? Actually, there was another thread about this case.
