Crazy women. Almost was bumped into a few times in the mall parking lot. Having speeding women in SUV's running into my Subaru is a bit scary.

What got me, was that Walmart officials called the hospital to see how she was, and to tell her that they had put one on hold for her.

Under the circumstances, I think they should have just given her one of the $29 DVD players.

Harder

I agree with your statement Sharder, they should just give her one. If they value her as a shopper they'd do that.

I can't understnad why the people who trampled her just don't chip in and buy her a player. It's like, what? $2 a person?

I sometimes wonder which is worse. Computer AI or Human AI.

Put this into situation into GTA VC. Some people might run over her but everyone that was dressed like her would then pull out guns and start shooting the people that ran her over. Stray shots would hit near the cashier who would sound an alarm which would get the police to come. The police would stream in till they had enough to beat everything moving (and some things not moving) sensless.

In this situation the lady gets trampled and a few people maybe feel guilty till they get passed the menu on there DVD, then they are to enthralled in there movie to care anymore.
