19 hospitalized in Walmart bleach fight
A desire to live a clean life went horribly awry in the bleach and disinfectant aisle of a Maryland Walmart this weekend.
This farm animal wisely walked past the aisle containing chemicals and furious shoppers.
Nineteen people received medical treatment at hospitals, including three store employees, after two women got into an argument and began slinging toxic liquids. One person sustained a serious eye injury.
The store in Baltimore County had to be evacuated Saturday due to toxic fumes, ABC News reports.
Facing charges of first-degree assault, second-degree assault, theft under $100 and malicious destruction of property is Theresa Monique Jefferson, 33. I assume the theft charge comes from wasting gallons of Clorox Stain Fighter With Color Booster.
She’s being held on a whopping $350,000 bond.
The Associated Press reports Jefferson followed her victim — a woman who is currently the girlfriend of the father of Jefferson’s child — into the store and initiated the attack.
Walmart, in a press release, said it can’t believe people that shop in their stores would act this way.
PR cleanup on aisle 5!

So typical…how can walmart not believe that those who shop in their stores would act this way?! The majority of the people walmart hires are rude and nasty individuals! If you build it…they will come!

Walmart executives evidently don’t frequent their own stores.

Well, believe it, Wal-Mart. They act this way every day at your stores in the larger cities.

That’s exactly what I was thinkng jeff w. You’d think they would have posted a photo of the mess that was left behind. Looks like a stuffed miniature horse to me, maybe a Christmas item some kid left in the aisle or something? Still wth does it have to do w/this story? Maybe they’re using it as a security guard lol.

So why is there a goat in the store? And why is everyone shopping like it’s not even there? The goat also have a harness or collar around it’s neck so it’s obviously someone’s pet, and it looks like it might be heading for the produce department.
