Once again a brawl started, this time over an attempt to steal a $7 shirt, which escalated from there. There is almost always at least one petty incident that manages to turn into a major event one way or another at a Walmart somewhere in the country. This month there was also at least one shoplifting incident that led to a chase as well.
There were at least four shooting incidents at Walmart this month, including at least one that led to a death and another that was related to a murder, and at least a couple more armed robberies and an abduction and rape of two teens. they also had a SWAT raid at Walmart that led to the capture of the alleged Arizona freeway shooter. There were also at least one beating death at Walmart and another were a suspect arrested at Walmart died in custody. There was also a police officer indicted for an incident that happened at Walmart months ago.
There were at least two incidents this month involving Employee disputes, including one where a worker shoved a cart into her supervisors motorcycle, and another where the husband of a worker stabbed her coworker in an argument. Walmart has more of these incidents than the post office even though the post office get more attention and this resulted in the phrase, "going postal."
They had another recall, this time for Cucumbers that might have a risk of salmonella. This is just one of many Modern Diseases on the Rise Because of Factory Farming, yet the traditional media financed by advertising from multinational corporations practically never mentions this. Rumors also leaked that Tracy Morgan may have gotten ninety million dollars in his settlement with Walmart over his accident which might explain why he spoke out so favorably of Walmart after the settlement; however the vast majority of the public with grievances almost certainly don't get treated so well. Ordinary people don't draw nearly as much media attention as celebrities so Walmart may not be concerned about the risk to their reputation when they fight them in court.
Don't you hate it when you try to open a package in an attempted theft and accidentally stab yourself? Not that it happened to me or that I would want to admit it if it did.
If you're afraid of spiders and suspect there might be one in your pressure cooker and leave it in a Walmart parking lot don't be surprised if the bomb squad shows up in full bomb squad gear with robots to inspect the spider.
Or if a Black Widow spider shows up in grapes or other produce from Walmart that won't be unprecedented either.
Strange things happen at Wal-Mart!
In 2006 Wake Up Wal-Mart did a study, "Is Wal-Mart Safe?" based on incidents in 2004, (PDF) about crime at Wal-Mart which showed that it increased when Wal-Marts opened up and that crime was higher at Wal-Mart than at other retailers. Since then Wal-Mart Shootings began compiling a list of gun related incidents at Wal-Mart and demonstrated that they have a large number of them, including on average more than one shooting per week somewhere in the country. In January of 2014 another study, "Rolling Back Prices and Raising Crime Rates?" provided additional statistical research indicating that Wal-Mart might be contributing to higher crime rates or at least a slowing of the decline in crime. The study found that. “on average, communities with Walmarts had 17 more property crimes and two more violent crimes per 10,000 people than those communities without Walmarts.” I reviewed this more in Wal-Mart’s crime problem, Rolling Back Safety more than prices? where I explained that although this study is helpful they could have done better with additional data that is available and I reviewed some of that. I also added my own review about why I think that Wal-Mart policies have been contributing to higher crime in a previous blog, Wal-Mart high crime rate continues un-investigaterd and have provided additional information under the author tag Walmart Crime Watch.
Stacy Mitchell has also compiled a list of other studies about Wal-Mart and how they impact society, Key Studies on Big-Box Retail & Independent Business. To the best of my knowledge Wal-Mart has done as little as they seem to get away with, often relying on rhetoric that isn't backed up with action, when it comes to addressing any of their critics concerns, including crime. For regular updates about events at Walmart through the month see Walmart Watch on twitter or check the Wal-Mart Wall; they have helped compile some of this information. The following are a list of incidents that occurred in September 2015. According to the "Is Wal-Mart Safe?" the average store in their sampling had 250 incidents per year, indicating that these are only a fraction of the crime reports at Wal-Mart, and presumably, the ones most likely to make the news on the internet nationwide. This isn't statistically representative, as the 2006 or the "Rolling Back Prices and Raising Crime Rates?" study or some of the studies cited by Stacy Mitchell; but it does provide some additional information that may help recognize how many problems there are at Wal-Mart.

Bernalillo Police Chief Tom Romero says the man was involved in a car crash just after 6 p.m. in a nearby McDonald’s parking lot that investigators believe was sparked by a domestic altercation with a woman.

Brawl started over 7$ shirt at Charlotte NC Walmart caught on video 09/24/2015
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A fight involving multiple combatants that erupted last week inside the Walmart on Wilkinson Boulevard was caught on cellphone video.
The fight started when the store's loss prevention team confronted a teen who allegedly tried to steal a $7 shirt. In the video, dozens of shoppers stand back as the melee unfolds inside the Walmart in west Charlotte.
It appears that the brawl initially started it the entrance of the store on Wilkinson Boulevard. Police said that's when members of the store's loss prevention team attempted to stop a teenager who was allegedly trying to steal a shirt.
One man tried to hold onto the suspect, and that's when you can see several other people jump in and joined in the fight.
“I don't come that often but I wouldn't want to walk into something like that,” said shopper Alfonza Davis.
Police said one person was hospitalized following the ruckus, and they arrested a 14-year-old male on assault charges.
“This Walmart is really out of control. They really need to have security here,” said another shopper, Dawn Evans. Complete article

2 men abducted teens at gunpoint from Oregon Walmart, raped them, police say 09/25/2015
Oregon State Police say two men have been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, drugging and raping a pair of teen girls who were stranded at a Walmart in Redmond late Wednesday.
James Borchers, 50, of Portland, and Joseph Cheek, 32, of Christmas Valley, were found in a stolen Chevy Tahoe along Oregon 31 south of La Pine by a state trooper on the next night and later arrested. They both will be booked into the Lake County Jail on accusations of first-degree rape and first-degree kidnapping, police said.
The two Prineville 17-year-olds told police they were stuck at a Walmart around midnight because their car wouldn't start and soon were approached by Borchers and Cheek in a silver Toyota 4-Runner. The men told the girls they could wait inside the SUV to keep warm, threatened them with guns once they got inside and drove away, police said.
The girls suspect they were drugged because they lost consciousness at some point and later found themselves at a home in Christmas Valley, police said. They escaped sometime on Thursday and contacted the Lake County Sheriff's Office around 4:30 p.m. Complete article
