Occupy San Diego flash mobs two Walmarts today! Updated at 8:32 PM
Approximately 75 people met up this morning at a transit center with the knowledge of flash mob that will happen and nothing else. I was a little apprehensive being that I didn't know how we could incoroprate dancing into the 99% movement, nor having much ability to dance. Their idea on the flash mob was that we'd all enter Walmart inconspicuously and shop for 30 minutes, filling up our carts as much as possible. Then we'd meet at the front to check out and the first person to get up to a checker calls asks the cashier to page their child (Michael Check) to the checkstand cause they're ready to leave, and then right after the page:
MIC CHECK!
Citizens of Walmart!!
Greetings and welcome back from the food coma!!
In the spirit of holiday giving, we believe a discussion is in order about the meaning of value and low cost.
For every low-priced product purchased at Walmart, your communities pay the difference.
Every price drop represents mistreated workers who STILL cannot feed their families, STILL cannot afford their homes, and STILL cannot payoff their tuitions.
Every sweet deal can be attributed to our jobs being outsourced from American communities.
Each item on sale helps bankrupt small businesses.
YOU, YOUR COMMUNITIES, AND YOUR WORKERS ARE BEING ABUSED!!
Walmart intentionally underemploys, forgoing REAL benefits for social services, costing California taxpayers $86 million annually.
Walmart employees are overworked, underpaid, and left under-insured in poor and unsafe conditions.
Walmart could fire its employees for the mere mention of forming a workers union; which is the best tool American workers have to protect their rights.
Corporate beasts such as this one bleed our communities dry by putting the local business owners, who actually have personal stake in your communities, at a disadvantage against these gluttonous juggernauts. Yet they have the nerve to tell you it's for your benefit.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO BUY THE SCAM!!
WE DO NOT HAVE TO BUY DOLLAR-COLLARS FOR OUR FAMILIES!!
WE DO NOT HAVE TO BUY ANY OF THIS!!
SELF-MADE GIFTS HAVE MORE POWER ANYWAY!!
So this holiday season, give yourselves, your families, and your communities the gift of empowerment!!
ACT LOCALLY!!
SHOP SMALL BUSINESS!!
BUY AMERICAN!!
Thank you, Exit Safely, and remember to smile...
After that there was applause as we all 75 left our carts and exited the disgusting, big box store. We received thumbs ups from employess, smiles from most, claps at the end, and when walking out the three cops there smiled at us as we walked past shouting, "We are the 99%, YOU are the 99%!" We did the same to a second Walmart and then had to call it a day since other activities were planned.
Sorry for the length, I didn't know how else to post the mic-check. It was entirely envigorating.
There was one asshat that charged past us and screamed "You f*cking socialists!" Yes, a good laugh; as what a prime example he was setting for his 7 or 8 year old daughter he was dragging along while huffing and puffing. BTW, did Occupy ever say they were for socialism? LOL... Well, heaven forbid they ever need Social Security or Medicare...
Age range from was from 2-80; quite the mix of races present; very much a good example of the 99%.
I am proud to stand in solidarity with Occupy San Diego.

Oh, WOW, man.
Dude!!1!11!
Seventy-five people.
More than likely half that number.
You DUmmies really showed the man. :stoner:

Damn.
It's gone from Drudge now, but earlier today, Drudge had a story, "San Diego Wal-Mart not impressed by 'occupy' crowd".

Too funny.

Watch the youtube video, what a bunch of flaming idiots. Do they really believe that the average man or woman shopping or working at Walmart is going to be inspired by this nonsense? It's so ridiculous that it's almost like they are intentionally parodying themselves.

I bet the shoppers knocked them all out of the way. Here in West by God Virginia, some poor man collapsed in the aisle and the shoppers just walked over him. An ER nurse and a doctor tried to help him but he later died.

I hope a couple of the protesters got a good dope slap for their troubles.

1. And me still nursing this dang cold or would have been
there to record it...
Yes I know excuses and you know what... but don't feel like having this become pneumonia.
Good job!
A good reporter would be on the scene for a scheduled event. Nads puts herself above the movement and the need to spread the "real" news to counteract the reich-wing media.

I'm glad you brought this over thundley. She's showing a high degree of selfishness. First she selfishly refuses to school the occupiers on the dangers of filth. Now she selfishly casts aside her job as reporter. This is the reason that, even though I'm her unofficial CC advocate, I'm considering voting for someone else for DOTY.
She's really disappointing me.

Nads, you're loser. :loser: :loser: :loser:
That's why you can only win the Willy.
Pneumonia my aching red ass.
Couched once in the morning, and wimped out.

So they loaded up 75 carts of merchandise, then walked out, leaving those carts full of stuff for some minimum wage worker, that they claim to care about, to have to put away. Brilliant move guys. :whatever:

I watched the video and it looked to me like all the applause was coming from the moonbats themselves.

I wouldn't doubt if they had some plants among the real customers just to walk out like they had made converts.

I couldn't tell who was actual customers and who was part of the moonbat brigade. So, I made the assumption if they were chanting then they were part of the moonbat brigade.

Too bad the crazy lady shopper with the pepper spray wasn't there.

The only people clapping in the video are the protesters.

I find the best way to show my dislike of Walmart (and other stores) is to not shop there, but that's just me. Perhaps this would work better? :p

But, what kind of YouTube video would that make? :tongue: ::)
Just like the Obamessiah, these cretins are incredibly narcissistic.

:lmao:Repeating it like a bad earworm maybe. Notice none of them stepped out of line though to pay the evil Walmart their due! In fact I think I saw a few people shove the 'prop' carts aside and move up in line, kinda like you do when someone gets impatient and leaves when the lines are long. :lmao: Ain't real effective if Walmart still got paid now is it? :lmao:

OK, that comment by Sarah Ibuprofen screams "mole" to me.

That human mic technique they use is the exact same as the technique used for brainwashing by communists.

If PJ doesn't beat me to it, I will be DUFUing this thread sometime in the next 24 business hours.

Several years ago, The Dollar General Store on 5th Avenue in Huntington, not far from Marshall University, had a fire start in the ceiling of the building, during the Christmas shopping season.
Cashiers had to call the police to assist them in getting the shoppers out of the store. THE SHOPPERS REFUSED TO LEAVE, even as pieces of the flaming ceiling were falling into the store!

Losers and idiots, inconveniencing people who actually work for a living (The same ones they claim to represent).
btw, I'll be buying my father's Christmas present from a Walmart, and also a gift card that my church will give to a needy child for Christmas.
-
For every walmart worker who walks out, there are 10 more to take his place. Probably wouldn't be surprised if some of them were DU'ers.

Wow, just learned that the youtube video was filmed at the Aero Drive Walmart, which is about 1/2 mile from my home. I missed an opportunity to punch a hippy squarely in the face. I need to get on the mailing list so that I will be prepared next time.
