Our society has come to a place that can be very ugly at times. I'm not sure what is worse, the act or the reaction to the act in this story. I would say the reaction is more pitiful.
Take the situation at a Burlington Coat Factory in Ohio. A woman who claimed to have won half a million dollars in the lottery was dropped off in a stretched Hummer limo at the store. She then offered customers via the store intercom to buy them clothes up to $500.
Here is where the greed took over-
Customers didn't just take her up on the offer, they called their family and friends on the phone and said, "Come on down- get a piece of the action".
What the customers hadn't realized yet was that this "lottery winner" wasn't really a winner. Was she insane? Probably.
She left the store claiming to go to the bank machine but never came back. This is where the police came in to alert the customers that they were shammed.
Instead of going back to their business, and back to their daily routine a bit bummed out, some of these folks decided to trash the store.
These must be the same jackasses who start fights and trample over store employees during Christmas shopping season. So much for civility.
I wonder if this is how these people will react when Obama doesn't "show them the money". America is looking more and more like a 3rd world country every day...or at least the citizens are.
