What Happened When My Son Wore A Pink Headband To Walmart
btw, Dexter is a two year old.
<snip>
After struggling to get him dressed and get his shoes on, I had to pry an overlarge teddy bear out of Dexter's arms, as he was set on taking him with us. This brought on tears and tantrums, which I somehow managed to calm very quickly. But when I attempted to remove my discarded lace flower headband from his head (which he'd been wearing all day), I saw him getting ready to fight, so I left him to it. Who was he hurting?
<snip>
Out of nowhere a big booming voice rang out. "THAT'S a BOY?!" The man was overly large with a bushy beard and a camouflage shirt with the arms cut off. He had tattered shorts and lace-up work boots with no laces. I could smell the fug of cigarette smoke surrounding him, and there was a definite pong of beer on him.
"Yes," I said simply, still smiling.
With no notice, the man stepped forward, grabbed the headband off of Dexter's head and threw it to the bottom of our shopping cart. He then cuffed Dexter around the side of his head (not hard, but that is not the point) and said with a big laugh, "You'll thank me later, little man!"
At the same time as I stepped forward, Dexter grabbed his head where the man had smacked him and threw his other hand forward, stomping his foot and shouting, "NO!" I got between my son and this man and said very firmly, "If you touch my son again, I will cut your damn hands off."
The guy snarled at me, looked at Dexter with disgust and said, "Your son is a f*cking fa***t." He then started sauntering out, but not before he threw over his shoulder, "He'll get shot for it one day."

1. I don't blame Dextor's mom for saying she'd cut the man's hands off...
if he touched her son again.
I can't believe the gall of that person. Where does he get off?

2. I wonder if this really
Happened or if it is another one of the "waiting in the checkout line confrontaition" fantasies.
If it jad been me I would have had a bit more to say, though.

20. I believe it. Maybe it's because 20 odd years ago I had a somewhat
similar experience with my son. He was around 4 and had long hair down to his shoulders. He wasn't touched but this drunk guy that I knew slightly lit into him for being a "little faggot".

81. It happened to me when mine was 1, wearing pink pjs. I was accosted, asked if I wasn't "afraid
he'll grow up to be a f*". Wtf? 1 yr old and why the hell would I worry about his orientation?

6. Big manly man with little dick complex beats up on a little
kid and feels good about it ... this nation has some seriously disturbed individuals roaming around. ... just looking for trouble, just looking for their targets to beat up on. Monsters on the loose.

41. Number one reason the story smells like
like bullshit... Instinctive reaction would be to scream something like, "Stop him! He hit my kid! Help! Help!" NO ONE would just stand there and watch the guy who just smacked their kid just walk away. Who wouldn't RUN to security and scream, "Call 911! Where's the surveillance cameras?! Is that man's face on tape?! Help! Help! Help!"
The story's a total load.

Why do they cut and paste that kind of crap. Isn't Cali about 50 years past being fertile?

Isn't this one of the guys from Duck Dynasty?
Nobody in a Walmart store give a rat's ass what you wear (or don't wear) in the store
Update 8/4/13: For more on this story readers can visit the author's Facebook page. In her most recent post there she says that she has spoken with the local police department about the incident, and writes: "The Polk County Sheriff's Deputy has just left our home, and all information about the original Wal Mart incident and the ongoing harassment has been documented and is being dealt with. I have been advised NOT to say any more about the situation, as the investigation is ongoing, so thank you all for your support, but I am going to be offline for the next while until all of this is resolved."
I have dipshit friends on fbook(liberals of course) lapping it up like a panting dog does water. :rotf:
No idea how leftists always seem to have "confrontations" when they go out shopping, it kind of seems they're looking to start fights everywhere they go.
BULLS***! BULL F'N S***!
Nobody in a Walmart store give a rat's ass what you wear (or don't wear) in the store!
NOBODY!
You could walk into a Walmart buck naked and nobody would notice you, much less comment.
I've seen what could be described as a circus freak show parade thru our store at 3:00 am, and nobody said as much as "boo" to them.
DUmmie cali is full of shit, and nuttier than a squirrel turd!
Could be. They sell their T-shirts there.
Maybe one of them spoke to her.

The mouthy bitch probably said something about the guy in a loud enough voice for him to hear, and he might have said something about her being a stupid, nosy liberal bitch who was raising a son to be a faggot, and then he walked away.

I have yet to meet one of these obnoxious, super-badass DUmmies that can't keep their preachy mouths shut. Every experience I have ever had at wally world has been uneventful; I just don't get it.So does Carlos Danger. :whistling:
Then again, I do open carry... :-)

I went to Walmart on the weekend, let me see how my experience went.
I parked the car, went into the store, a very nice handicapped man who just walked into the store was getting a cart, he saw me and gave me the cart, I thanked him and told him that was sweet, he told me to have a nice day, I wished him a nice day also. Stopped by the clearance cart, saw nothing, walked by the clothes section and saw some nice sales but didn't need anything, did some food shopping then went over to the craft area and picked up a few things, the store was packed and the only nuisance was 2 people who parked their carts in the middle of the aisle, I smiled excuse me, they apologized and moved their carts, I said thank you. Went to the register and paid my bill, walked out to the car and drove to my next shopping destination.

....and I'm off to check on thepeopleofwalmart.
How the DUmmies conveyed the encounter.
While we were exchanging coupons and gathering our multiple EBT cards a rich Rethuglican sneered at us to move our G*d damned carts. Before we could apologize the bitch who was wearing Jimmie Chu shoes carrying a Coach bag, perfectly manicured nails and a Gucci necklace, proceeded to barge her way through hissing as she went by that us peons have no business delaying her for a moment.

I must be workin at then wrong store...I never see this stuff!! :whatever:
:rofl:
I found out later in life that I had pretty severe ADHD, which is part of the reason I made things up. I preferred my richly detailed stories to what may or may not have been ACTUALLY happening. However, around the time I left high school, I had a talk with myself and decided that I would never lie again. And for two years I didn’t.
...
But every now and then, I get a feeling… like a tingling on the back of my neck… and it tells me that maybe now, at nearly 30 years old, I should get it under control. Maybe I’m too old for this sort of behaviour. I’m a mother now. Maybe it’s time I settled down and fell in line with the rest of the populace.
And then I think, “What fun would that be?â€
Editor's Note: HuffPost provides a platform for bloggers to share their thoughts and experiences. In a post published last week, an author described witnessing an incident that is now being investigated by local law enforcement. At the blogger's request, we have removed the post. We have also confirmed with investigators that they are in contact with the author.How's that working out for you, cali? :loser:
It now gets a little more interesting.
The bitter old hag had brought over a C&P from huffingpoo post, for her story.

The Baker Act allows for involuntary examination (what some call emergency or involuntary commitment). It can be initiated by judges, law enforcement officials, physicians, or mental health professionals. There must be evidence that the person:
has a mental illness (as defined in the Baker Act).
is a harm to self, harm to others, or self neglectful (as defined in the Baker Act).

Mommy Blogger Of Pink Headband Fame Hospitalized For Mental Evaluation
Last edited Thu Aug 8, 2013, 01:36 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
http://www.queerty.com/mommy-blogger-of-pink-headband-fame-hospitalized-for-mental-evaluation-20130807/
The Florida mother who climbed to the highest peaks of the Internet to shout the tale of a giant, burly man that called her two-year-old son a “faggot†in a local Walmart has been hospitalized against her will pending a mental evaluation.
31-year-old mommy blogger Katie Vyktoriah (real name Kathleen Carpenter) originally wrote about the incident on her personal blog, AMotherThing.com. She claimed, among other things, that without provocation, her son Dexter was assaulted and called a “faggot†for wearing a pink headband during a recent trip to Walmart in Davenport, Florida. Her site later “crashed†due to the overwhelming response the post had received, so HuffPo ran it as an op-ed piece.
Today, HuffPo has removed the piece amidst claims that the author is a “pathological liar†and most likely fabricated the story entirely. It only took about 40 seconds for readers to question the validity of the story after we reported it earlier this week—many of you pointed to Carpenter’s previous claims that she survived four kidnapping attempts, was “meant to be in NYC on 9/11,†and allegedly suffers from a number of self-diagnosed ailments.
Following the backlash, Carpenter deleted her personal blog and all social media accounts. She then called the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and told an officer that she was thinking of killing herself.

Now, look through the list again. Look how gullible the DUmbasses are and it shouldn't be a surprise to ANYONE why they keep pimping a PROVEN failed fiscal model or why they elected a jackass based on nothing other than "Yes we can!" and "Hope and Change".

Economics had nothing to do with it. They voted for him because he's black, his only qualification.
How does it feel DUmbasses to know that half of your slithering scum believed this without question?

She also claimed to suffer from Celiac disease, diabetes, lactose intolerance, BPD, manic depression, ADHD, and declared her breasts were so spectacular they cause bar fights.
Lake County Sheriff's deputies said Walmart was still searching for any evidence that Kathleen Carpenter was in fact in the Clermont Walmart the day she claimed an unknown man yanked the headband off Dexter, 2, pushed him and hurled homophobic abuse at them both.
.....and declared her breasts were so spectacular they cause bar fights.
Another DU swindle right about now would clean up. Their gullibility is at a high water mark.

Hmmm. Depending on how spectacular I may be able to overlook the other little transgressions and idiosyncrasies. :drool:

No way.There's a difference between "spectacular" and "grotesque".
That sounds like :jugs: :yahoo:, but surely it's not.
