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.Video from the first Walmart flash mob: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgafr1uO_EY&feature=shar...

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.
nadinbrzezinski (1000+ posts) Fri Nov-25-11 08:35 PMResponse to Original message1. 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 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.
"The nation that couldn’t be conquered by foreign enemies has been conquered by its elected officials" odawg Free Republic in reference to the GOP Elites who are no difference than the Democrats
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?
