What the hell is going on at WalMart?

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Did the car belong to the guy in the flannel shirt?

Probably not a fan of self check-out.

 

[RocketDawg]

That's in Jackson? Or Starkville?

That guy must have been crazy. Gotta wonder what the police did to him. And the one guy knocked the window out with his fist. Thought that was supposed to be next to impossible.

 

[Dawgpile]

Broken window HAS to equal broken hand... Damn!

 

[57stratdawg]

Out of 30-0 TShirts?

Actually, you have to worry about tendon lacerations as much or more than that.

 

[msubrave]

Do NOT pick a fight with the guy that punched out that window

 

[thatsbaseball]

Do not punch out a window unless you know the driver ain't armed

 

[the dog is on the loose]

Personally witnessed a man break a side window on a car. Broke his hand and went to ER.

How many times do you need to pull on a handle of a locked door to realize it’s locked?

 

[HomeBoyDawg]

PAB...People Against Bollards (yellow posts in front of Walmart). It was only a matter of time before the movement caught fire. Can't tell you how many times I've centered one walking in.

By the looks of that cop that pulled up, they may not have chased him. He hit the pole twice while he was sitting in the car.

And that dude that busted out that window with his hand must have had enough adrenaline going to make an elephants heart skip.a beat. That is no easy task.

Roll tide!

This was my thought. And it makes perfect sense that a moron who tried to open the door after watching someone else fail at it multiple times just punches the window out. I still in awe of that window puncher. That was pretty amazing.

I'm going to say 3 times.

 

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Didn't get this at first but laughed when I did.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Jackson on Hwy 18....no big just another day **

 

[JoMo MoJo]

They had a shoot-out inside the Hwy 18 Store a few back and some woman also set a whole bunch of clothes on fire inside the same Wal-Mart. You do not go to the Southwest Jxn Wal-Mart unless you want to be killed.

 

[BlueRidgeMtns]

Soooo what are we watching here?

 

[thatsbaseball]

If you're from Virginia....you wouldn't understand **

 

[Bucky Dog]

From reading elsewhere, apparently the two white dudes trying to unlock the door and breaking the window, were there to repossess that car from the girl! And she wasn’t having any of that!!

 

[msubrave]

I was walking in to that Wal-Mart one day about a decade ago when a young gentleman got out of a car, ran up to a lady leaving Wal-Mart, grabbed her purse, hopped back in his car and sped off. This happened about 20ft from me. I was no help to the lady. I walked back to my car and left and never went there again.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

Well then, I'd say everyone involved

apparently the two white dudes... were there to repossess that car from the girl

Could've handled that situation better.

 

[Shmuley]

You're watching a breach of the peace.

 

[twopack]

No joke. I feel like I am pushing it every time I eat at the IHOP across from that Walmart on HWy 18. We don’t Ever go there after dark, but it still is risky during the day. That entire area around the Metro has gone to pot. Gonna have to fix my own pancakes I guess.

 

[MarkDallas]

In the second video, why did the police allow flannel shirt to approach the car? They seem very nonchalant about the whole thing.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

I believe that's is JPD's approach to all crimes.

When I was a kid that area was like going to orlando for a kid from rural Mississippi. The Metrocenter was awesome! It was literally like going to Disneyland when we got to go. Circus World is still the most awesome toy store I have ever been in. As I got older we discovered McDowell Road and ending the evening at TGIF’s and Widow Watson’s or Scrooge’s. They had a go kart and mini golf place in front of K Mart across 80. I watched all the Star Wars movies at the Metrocenter Cinema 6. At the time, that was the best theatre in the state.

 

[catvet]

Wow a bunch of crazy crap and criminal behavior in Jackson. I'm shocked.

 

[tatedog]

Women drivers, I swear.

 

[harrydawg.sixpack]

This area is the DMZ now, totally out of control. I am not sure why the hell Walmart remains open, I swear it’s becuase they want to protect other Walmart’s in the area. Those crazy 17ers are gonna shop/steal/loot somewhere, why not just let em have this one. JoMo, you are correct, this place was awesome in the late 70’s thru 80’s. The metro center was the 8th wonder of the world......I grew up about 5 miles from there.

 

[tatedog]

Metro Center... that brings back some memories. Might have been like the second largest mall in the south at one time.

Now it’s a raging ********.

Good times/memories. Had totally forgotten the name of Circus World... just remember it being the awesome toy store with the freaky masks down by Sears. Metrocenter had amazing video game arcades (Diamond Jim's and Aladdin's Castle), Chick fil a back when they were in malls only. For a 10-12 year old being turned loose in Spencer Gifts was like the Playboy Mansion. The area around it was awesome as you stated, too-- Putt Putt golf and Toys R Us across the highway and the movie theater you mentioned had an amazing video game selection and saw some of my first "adult" scenes there. Like you, I was from rural Mississippi and going there was like endorphin city.

Northpark mall is quickly heading that way, as well. I put an IP security camera system in an athletic shoe store there back in November that had a monthly shrink rate that you wouldn’t believe. They were missing over $30,000 worth of shoes, that simply walked out the door. The employees were taking orders on the outside, pulling those shoes from the stockroom, putting them outside at night by the dumpster that is right behind their back employee entrance, and going back later to pick them up and selling the shoes themselves. The store management was apparently complicit and / or participating. The home office that contracted me to install the system contemplated just closing the store and calling it a day, instead of trying to combat the scurge of the employee pool there.

It isn’t just Jackson, though. We handle IT and video surveillance for the whole state of MS, West AL, and Eastern LA for a lot of national accounts, and I put a camera system in for a national dollar store chain in Bay Springs a few years back (2015, I think) that lost more in shrink (theft...mostly inside jobs) than they ran through the registers the year before. They fired everyone and started over.

don't forget Keiffers used to be in Metro. and the Cookie company was awesome. just FYI the cookie company is still in Metro, and its still the tits. my mom had surgery a year or so ago at Merit Health and we had to stay at the hospital for a few days. so i wondered around metro a time or two during the day. kinda weird in there. a few cap shops and foot locker and then a really weird country western saddle and spur shop. random.

i still use the Lowes on 18 though. quick in and out.

Growing up, going to the Metro Center was indeed like a vacation. We would eat at Krystal, cruise the mall, and head over to Service Merchandise. I loved that place.

That went to crap, and Northpark was the new best place ever. That area is quickly following the same trend.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

I have been told by a senior Wal-Mart executive that the Highway 18 South Jackson store has the highest "retail shrinkage rate" of any Wal-Mart store in the country.

I think you answered your own question. They can leave and hope that area is served by Fred's or Kmart or something, but realistically closing down would just move any crime to their other stores.
