Yet another reason not to shop at WalMart
Police in Georgia say a man stabbed his estranged wife to death in a Walmart parking lot where they met to exchange custody of their two children.
A Suwanee police news release says the couple began arguing Sunday outside of the store in the city about 30 miles northeast of Atlanta.
Phillip Chad Dunn, 28, of Lawrenceville stabbed his wife during the argument then stabbed himself, according to the release. Police say Shelley Dyan Dunn, 27, of Buford, died of her wounds at a nearby hospital.
Police say their children were present. Their ages weren't immediately disclosed.

Well gee, all those school shootings have happened in PUBLIC SCHOOLS, so maybe parents should send their kids to Private Schools.

10. Leaving Bodyplex yesterday afternoon
I noticed the remote trucks for two of the local TV stations heading west on Lawrenceville-Suwanee, and wondered if something was going on. Sadly, it appears that there was.

2. I guess I don't see what that has to do with Walmart.
Seriously. It could have been a Denny's parking lot. Lots of kid exchanges happen in those, too.

3. I dislike Walmart as much as the next person, but other than this taking
place in a Walmart parking lot, this really has nothing to do with Walmart.
How tragic this is for the kids. Their mother is dead and they watched their father kill her.

There are about 50 CCTV cameras in the parking lot and another 50 on the building yet they didn't see this? And to those who "fail to see what this has to do with Wal-Mart", Wal-Mart is notoriously horrible about policing their parking areas which are crime ridden, the CCTV cameras are there for Wal-Marts benefit only, in the case that they may have to take shoplifters to court and identifying them.

8. I wonder if Wal-Mart thought they were liable in any way.
How much you wanna bet their lawyers at corporate were all over this thrying to figure that out from the moment the first police arrived on scene.

7. So now we don't like WM because people drop off/pick up kids
in the parking lot? Or because people, not related to anything to do with WM, do dumb things in the parking lot?
I don't understand how any of that story has anything to do with the "I don't shop at WamMart" meme.

Of course they lawyers would discuss it, you moron. That's what they're for.
As for liability, I highly doubt it.

Their logic just befuddles me.
While I recognize that this is technically a crime.....this is more what is referred to as an act of passion.
Some jerk killing his ex-wife is not reflective on Walmart, crime rate in Walmart parking lots, or Walmart's responsibility to be watching for it. He could have just as easily done it in MickeyD's parking lot or the kids' school parking lot.
Those poor children. :(

What a buch of maroons! These wastes of humanity will find any reason in the world to be totally wrong. How the hell can you continually pull this moronic crap outa your ass? I would think after a while, you'd be right just once! But nooooooooooooooooo!!!! It's an impossibility for these DIpSHits!

This thread is so full of stupid that even the other DUmmies are calling her on it.
It was originally in the general forum but the mods were so embarrassed that it was moved.

25. People choose spots which they know and are familiar with -
if they chose wally-world it's because they are regular wally-world customers.
And a business is defined by its customer base.
Wow, I never even went inside the McDonalds where I used to do the very same this at.
You have to read the rest of the thread. So much stupid in one place.

This South Park episode came on last night... I wonder if somebody knows something the rest of us don't. :tinfoil2:

What? technically?? It is murder.

In a related note:

This is why I carry a gun every place I go. Not so much for inside the destination, but for the parking lot outside of.

Because the second he pulled a knife, those 50 CCTV camera's woulda transformed into cops and shot him to death. :whatever: Honestly, use your brain dip****.

There are cops in skyboxes here at the WalMart, of course you never know if its empty or not. Not even a cop can prevent a crime they can't see coming.

*Well the CCTV cameras shoot bad guys in the movie "5th Element", so they must be real.

The phrase Attacked in parking lot bring up about a million hits on google. Sounds like a lot of slack companies that need to be boycotted.

Uuuhhhhhmmmm.... Any proof that Walmart parking lots are "crime ridden?" No? Didn't think so.

Damn those wal-mart security guards for not having precognitive powers!!111!!1
This Wallyworld is about 20 min from my house. Seems like a fairly safe area, to me. Maybe we should also ban liberal nutty professors since that moonbat chick shot up the UAH campus. Or just close the school?

I saw there are DUmmies in that area, too. You have my condolences.
