We have zoning here where they're built in light commercial and retail zone areas.

I've been in WMs in NY state, PA, TN, IN and that's been my experience.
Yes of course they're built in residential areas. When I lived in Austin a few years ago, the Austin Neighborhoods Council protested plans to build a Walmart at the defunct Northcross Mall. So there was a strip mall for commercial use but surrounded on all sides by residences. We had a Walmart in LA's Chinatown on the corner with apartments right next to it and across the street. Some cities just don't have the space to build Walmarts far from neighborhoods (which is what I saw when I lived in suburban VA).

I don't need to provide proof. The burden of proof is on you... While you're busy loving your country and spewing hate online, you're not out there saying the same things in real life... We all know this...

I've noticed this. Wherever I go, regardless of ethnic composition of the community, the WalMarts seem to draw from alot of underclass.
For Sure ! lol!!

Do you see the difference and have you noticed it here on C-D?

Look at some of the posts in the first two pages of this thread, do you think we'll see those same racial remarks about the White people fighting the cops at a Walmart?
Hmmm..what is the title of the thread again? Hmmm?

A 30-person brawl erupted at a New York Wal-Mart

I am the OP, I did not mention race in the thread title. So why the hell did OTHERS start tuning this into some kind of race issue? Just because 99.9% of these type of things are done by a certain race, pointing it out is racist? why? Its obvious that shaming for such behavior will never work, what else can be done?

Oh come on, you alluded to it and you know it, don't hide now, and by the way, I replied to your statements in post #109, thanks again.

I'm not even gonna ask for a link to support your claim that "99.9 percent of these types of things are done by a certain race" because we both know you can't back that up, at all.

Because this thread, just like 100s similar others was only meant to do one thing. Attack black people and stereotype. Proof in point, you claim 99.9% of these things are done by black folks. Your opinion isn't only wrong, it's tainted with prejudice. White racism is probably one of the most pressing issues in the world today...

I have no idea what percentage of riots at walmarts are committed by what race. I will say that Walmart draws human trash from all races. I refuse to shop Walmart...

Unfair. Just because they're lower income doesn't justify calling them 'trash'.

Many good people shop there because they are pinching pennies. They feed and clothe their families for a bit less in an economy that isn't great. Many are unemployed, and those who do work in many cases have had their hours cut so income is reduced. Expenses have gone up for everything.

Race has little to do with it. Ever watch a "Black Friday" opening rush at any store?

Allude to the truth? It is what it is. How is showing what happened somehow racist?

Type in "FLASH MOB STEAL" on bing and what do you get?
252,000 RESULTS

Every video i saw that didnt include dancing, was black people. I tried desperately to find even 1 video of a pack of Asians, native Americans, or Saudis stealing from a store. can you help me out and post one for me? Actually, to be fair, you should post about 20 or so to counter the 100's of blacks doing it. can you do that?
