So I happened to be in Gates, New York, on Sunday and decided to drop into Walmart to buy a jar of peanut butter.
It was the darndest thing. Just as I reached around someone to get a jar from the shelf, someone clubbed me in the head with a baseball bat. That is only about the third of fourth time that has happened to me while shopping at Walmart. (I have trouble remembering details now.)
When I came to, I looked around to see I was right in the middle of what is called a melee when white people fight (a riot when blacks fight). Thirty people were punching the hell out of each other including some with baseball bats. (They are in Aisle 8, near the golf clubs. Sale on bats this week.)
I stood up and just then a teenager threw a can of food and it hit me in the head. Down I went again.
The melee was caught on camera and is posted on social media. I am the one lying out cold on the floor in the peanut butter aisle. Eventually I came home with some peanut butter and a new baseball bat (a bit bloodied) that was 90 per cent off.
Hockey helmets were also on sale. I should have bought one for my next Walmart excursion.
By the way, this started when two teen girls insulted a woman’s clothing.
No way can a sane person let that go.
