Mr. Ambien Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 The guy in the video is just standing looking around like wtf.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Qq__UCRao http://www.macon.com/2015/06/29/3821075_report-macon-wal-mart-mob-wanted.html?rh=1 Report: Macon Wal-Mart mob wanted to see how much damage it could do Surveillance video of a wee-hours ruckus at a Macon Wal-Mart on Sunday shows a teenager race inside flashing gang signs ahead of a mob of four dozen or so people who burst in and smashed merchandise. The commotion, which caused an estimated $2,000 in damage, appears to have been planned. Some in the crowd also snatched a man, apparently a shopper at the Zebulon Road store, from a motorized shopping cart and dragged him to the floor, Bibb County sheriff’s officials said Monday. The vandals, said to number between 40 and 50, sprinted down the store’s main aisle about 1:50 a.m. Sunday, “destroying merchandise displays and items,” a sheriff’s deputy’s report of the incident noted. Floors in parts of the store were “coated with broken merchandise,” the report added. “The length of the store from front to rear was lined with items which had been shattered, destroyed, turned over and thrown about.” When sheriff’s deputies got there, the crowd “began to flee into many different vehicles and leave the scene,” the report said. The store, next to Lowe’s, is just east of Interstate 475 in one of the area’s most frequented shopping districts. The teenager seen leading the rushing horde of young men and women told a Wal-Mart employee “that this was a planned event ... to see how much damage they could cause,” the sheriff’s report said. The teen, identified as 17-year-old Kharron Nathan Green, of Ashton Drive in northwest Bibb County, was arrested when he returned to the store to retrieve his cellphone. Green was jailed and later released on bond after being charged with inciting a riot and second-degree damage to property. Green, according to the sheriff’s report, first told cops that “he did not know anything about what had happened in the store and that he did not know anyone involved.” But when his mother and father arrived and watched the surveillance footage with sheriff’s deputies, the report said “Green admitted to his parents that the male in the video was indeed him.” He refused to name others in the crowd, but according to the report said they had all come from a party on the city’s south side. “Hopefully we can identify the others,” Sheriff David Davis said Monday. “Hopefully it’s not a pattern of behavior.” Davis wondered about the parental supervision of the young people involved. “Due to the lateness of the hour,” he said, “I don’t know that they were going to be going to church the next morning.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob.Loblaw Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 A mob of 50 does $2000 in damages? With merch all over the floor? That's all? The average Walmart loses tens of thousands in shoplifting per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bright is he. Also am I the only one who thinks that saying "50 black teens" instead of just "50 teens" is unnecessary the skin color of the perpetrators is irrelevant to the story IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Strangelove Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 They were all black. It's just another way of creating imagery. Why would that create any better imagery than saying teenaged mob? I'm not trying to be rude to you or Ambien I'm just tired of how every single thing these days gets framed by race especially down here in the USA.

Therefore, I stole it. A mob of 50 does $2000 in damages? With merch all over the floor? That's all? The average Walmart loses tens of thousands in shoplifting per day. I think that's a bit of an embellishment, unless you mean the average Walmart in places like this. $2000 seems like a lot for teenagers who were only there a matter of seconds.

Yes however it also makes their race seem to be relevant to the story which it isn't. Edit thats the last im saying on the subject lest we stray off topic.

The average Walmart probably doesnt even make tens of thousand in profit per day. If they were losing tens of thousands per day in shoplifting theyd be closed rq. Thatd be like every single person walking out with their pockets full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatd be like every single person walking out with their pockets full They wouldn't close... but they would hire half dozen security dudes for $3/hr to walk around and catch em... When I read they did it because they wanted to see how much damage they could do, I thought to myself "bet they down play how much damage was done..."

SabreFan1 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 They do that in Chicago, but instead of Walmart stores, it's people getting killed and/or mugged in the middle of the street. Also, am I the only one who laughed at the waddling fat chick in pink who ran out of breath after power-waddling 10 feet into the store? The power-waddle out of there and back to the car, must have been even more hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
