Another eason not to shop Walmart
Mike O'Brien
tried to steal a cart full of TVs and a computer caused chaos at a Walmart.
According to a news release, Officer Josh Wright was off duty when he saw a
man trying to force his way past a greeter with about $2,000 worth of stolen
goods Sunday night. Wright displayed his badge, but the man said it was fake
and tried to force his way past him. Wright then tackled the suspect and
arrested him.
Then the suspect's wife, feigned a heart attack and said she did not know
her husband.
After a witness told Wright the couple had been together in the store, the
wife followed the witness into the parking lot and attacked her. The witness
stabbed her in the arm with a pocket knife, and the wife had to be treated
at a local hospital.
The male suspect was charged with theft over $1,000 and assault on a police
officer. Charges against the wife were pending.

I dunno. The only store I ever walked into that had police stationed
inside at the entrances and exits was a WalMart. That told me what
kind of clientele they cater to. I don't want to be around or be
associated with those kind of people, so that's my reason for staying
out of WalMart.

Some Target's do too.
IIRC, there was one at the Ridgedale Target during xmas week.
Scott Smith
The old Target on Broadway in North Minneapolis had on-duty police
at the entrance all the time.
That's one of the reasons they closed that Target, IIRC, their loss
due to theft was pretty bad.

Talk to the HOA boards and gate guards at some of those communities,
and they'll confirm your observation. It's not people from outside
committing the crime and disturbances within, it's some of the people
living inside.

I was at a Target store in the Eastern Dallas metro and they had a sort of
turret emplacement in the parking lot which they keep a guard in much of the
time. I don't recall any obvious security in the store, but all stores have
security (although most stores do not have armed security).

My work takes me into WalMarts quite often, and I'm
there for four hours or more. I've not seen cops in
Hastings, or across the river in Hudson.
As Scott indirectly points out, it's not the store,
it's the neighborhood.

Yep. I've never seen a single cop inside any store - or the mall - up
here. Plenty of them driving around and able to quickly respond to a call,
but they obviously don't feel the need to be present "on site" all the
time.

: <grin> Now that Minneapolis has laws prohibiting

: those cops to ensure our feelings of security.
If someone could review Minneapolis city code chapter 393 and find where
no single person is allowed to carry a gun in to a private business open
to the public, because I was not able to find it. From what I can tell
if I have a carry permit issued by the state of Minnesota, I can still
bring my firearm in to Kinkos and wal-mart in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis city code chapter 393 (Weapons): http://tinyurl.com/chap393
393.10. Definitions. Terms used in this chapter, unless expressly defined,
shall have the meanings prescribed by the statutes of the State of Minnesota
for the same terms. The following terms shall have the following meanings:
(c) (1) Public place means any building or establishment, place, or
public street or highway, where the business, social or
governmental activity ordinarily conducted is generally held
open to the public; specifically including, but not limited
to, such locations as governmental buildings, meeting halls,
centers for art and culture, places of amusement, liquor or
beer establishments, and restaurants. It shall also include
any private residence which is the site of activities
proscribed by section 385.170 (Disorderly house).
(2) Public place shall not include:
a. A dwelling place or residence when a person is present
with the permission of a lawful possessor thereof, or one's
own place of business;
b. Premises licensed for the sale of firearms;
c. Business premises at which the buying, selling, repair,
or trade in weapons is regularly conducted, or;
d. Places at which an event or activity is conducted
involving the exhibition, display, or carrying of a
weapon, done in a manner not intended or calculated to
result in or lead to the unlawful use of the weapon,
including, but not limited to, educational or training
programs, weapons or collectors' shows or exhibitions,
or religious, artistic, educational, or cultural events;
or
e. Parades or other public events when the use or display
of weapons is specifically authorized by the city for
such events.
393.95. Possession of firearms and facsimile firearms in public.
(d) This section shall not apply to acts of possession allowed by
a valid permit to carry issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
Section 624.714.

Thanks Mike (no sarcasm intended), I was going
to let this thread die a lingering death while
Bert burst his hymen trying to "prove" he isn't
the idiot he accused me of being.
So...
"393.90. Carrying weapons and facsimile firearms
prohibited. It shall be unlawful for any person
within the city to carry on or about his person
in a public place or transport in any vehicle in
any public place any weapon or facsimile firearm,
except:"... (http://tinyurl.com/chap393)
...there you go, that's the Minneapolis law
I was referring to which prohibits carrying
firearms in "public" places. That it provides
exceptions (e.g., obtaining a permit) does
not change the fact that what I wrote was
correct.
The Minnesota statutes further allow "private
establishments", e.g. Wal-Mart, to restrict
some of those exceptions (e.g. holding a permit)
by conspicuously displaying a sign at the door.

Good thing the witness the wife attacked didn't have a gun, or the police
would be charging a widower who would probably be throwing himself at the
mercy of the court because he lost his wife in the froo-fraw.

On-site cops in uniform are not officially on duty, nor are they paid by the
police department on such occasions
They are padi by the store to be a visible presence.
But if they choose to act, they are effectively acting as police officers,
and people should behave accordingly.
This is one way, that uniform cops make some money on the side.

That's going to be hard to go along with for anyone who read your responses

Your response was to weasel away from the question and post a summary of the

My "position" is that when the laws were enacted,
philosophically, the burden of personal protection
was moved from the individual to the state. Thus
cops with guns are needed in "public places" deemed
to be um, high risk.

think about it. in order for "intercourse" of any kind to happen one has to
"break the hymen" so to speak whether it be social or sexual in nature. or

It's amazing how "D.A.Tsenuf" always seems to
open up his "conversations" with insults and
calls everyone else is a "shithead". If he
is like that in person, his people should have
kicked his ass a thousand times already.
I'll opine that a big part of his motivation
for coming here is that online, no one can
physically kick his ass for being such a donkey.
Indeed, I think it's quite likely that in person
"D.A." is one of those quiet little people that
folks tend to ignore or avoid. They appear to
be reasonably normal on the surface, but also
give off a weird scary vibe -- because under the
veneer is a seething inferno of rage. Rage due
to their powerlessness and frankly, their own
social ineptitude.
When those types eventually explode, we call it
"Going Postal".
Let's just allow "D.A.Tsenuf" his online safety
valve and maybe we'll help save some innocent
bystander from injury or worse.
I do wish that he'd come up with more creative
insults from time to time.

: ...If he is like that in person, his people

: already.
Some years back, I was the organizer for a
4th of July sailing party that is held yearly
on a very large lake in a midwestern rural area.
About 350 people and 100 Hobie Cat sailboats
come from 5 states for a great old time.
Due to high water that year, we moved our
usual location to the only camping area with
even 50 yards of beach. That area happened to
be the one frequented by the "townies" and was
their usual gathering place for "celebrating"
the Fourth. It was a tight squeeze, actually.
Now, some of the locals were just great folks.
But there was one fellow that would regularly
get extremely loaded -- and sometimes cross
acceptable boundaries of the little "community"
there at the lake. And I'm telling you, that
really takes some "doing".
And on that weekend, this guy did indeed cross
the line. I watched with some admiration as four
of his buddies (and all his local friends watching
too) grabbed him, stuffed him in a sleeping bag
and then took swings with a 2x4. This was not the
first time they had done so. When he awoke, later
the next evening, the bruises were his clue that
he'd done it again.
So, there's a "Clue-By-Four" for "D.A.Tsenuf".

It's a helluva stretch, but yeah, it makes
you think. Some folks have bad sexual
experiences -- others enjoy a right good
fucking. Likewise, social intercourse.

He said "bruises", not "broken bones" there. I surmise that the sleeping
bag affords some protection against splinters and a small amount of padding
in addition to being a restraint, and if they are his "buddies" then one
could make the guess that they were not intending to delivering
death-strikes or put him in the hospital. I don't think I've ever heard of
such a thing occuring outside of the movies though.

It happened.
That was one wild weekend.
We'd been told that some of the locals were
pissed that we had "taken over" the area
and were planning to burn us out. I passed
the word to have whatever fire extinguishers
ready and fill buckets with water. Sure
enough, some rowdies set the dry grass on
fire above us. We were ready and put it
out, went back to continue the big limbo
contest and other festivities.
Then, about 2AM, a pickup truck of guys
drove in, brandished rifles, and threatened
to bust up all of our boats. From my seat
at the fire, I calmly called out to a couple
of chums something like "Hey Bob, you got
these guys covered"? "Yep" came the reply
from the dark. "Joe, you ready over there?"
"You betcha!". That truck left with no
further words. Just kinda like "the movies".
Around 4AM, some guys came down, smeared
a bucketful of human feces around the walls
and such inside the restrooms. They also
threatened and chased a girl who'd gotten
up to use the facility. Charming fellows.
At 6AM, I was at the Ranger station, asking
to have the facilities cleaned ASAP. They
were happy to oblige, opining that that
area was always their big headache, but that
this year it had been no problem.
As I said, it happened.
Jules
The part where I thought you were serious about people swinging 2x4's at
someone, and nobody lifting a finger to stop it. Unless you're not being
serious about them being 2x4s, or used 'swinging' to convey more violence
than actually occurred. Otherwise I'm quite surprised the guy didn't end
up with a few cracked ribs to go with his bruises...
levi
I *was* serious. And far from "not lifting
a finger to stop it", all those people
from his community who knew him were
watching with approval.
When he woke up, they gave him a beer
(the universal coin of that realm) and
he was pretty contrite. Hungover,
battered, but apologetic.
He was probably on good behavior till
Labor Day or so.

Since they were his buddies, I think we can assume they weren't swinging for

I call it Enlightened Self Interest. After all,
if you "go postal" around me and we're in one of
those places that ban weapons, I certainly don't
trust that a representative of the state will be
able to respond strongly enough, quickly enough,
