Toy Story

 

Two men, Alejandro Moreno, 39 and Juan Meza, 28 were found dead within a Palm Desert, CA, Toys “R” Us store, after a fight had escalated to fatal proportions. According to witnesses, both men were seen with women who had apparently gotten into a fight moments before the gunfight began:

There was no official word of any relationship between the victims or exactly what caused the shooting to erupt, but authorities said there may have already been bad blood between the two couples.

Joan Barrick of Desert Hot Springs said she was about 6 feet away from the shooting when it occurred.

She said she was standing at the end of a long checkout line when she heard two young Latinas shouting at each other.

One was described as a bleached blonde, Barrick said. Televised video showed a woman with blonde hair being placed into a squad car while shouting at someone that she was going to kill the person.

“The blonde lady came over and started pummeling the other Hispanic lady,” Barrick told City News Service.

“That’s when the guy took out the weapon,” she said.

According to the witness, the man accompanying the blonde — Meza – was the first to pull a gun, and then the man with the other woman — Moreno — pulled out a gun as well.
The two men opened fire in an area between the checkout line and the electronics section of the store, she said.

Democrat Voter Logic

 

Senate hopeful Al Franken seems to have taken a lesson from Al Gore. The lesson learned is that voters who are too dumb to vote are decidedly voting Democrat. At least, that’s what each of Franken’s post-election actions would lead one to believe. It is no secret that Franken wishes to continue the recount battle until each and every rejected ballot is “found,” assuring a Democrat victory in Minnesota. 

 

As it happens, there are about 12,000 absentee votes that were rejected. On top of that, there are another 5,000 ballots that are being challenged in this election. Now, why were these ballots rejected? Rick Moran of American Thinker writes:

Some people voted for both candidates. Others were not signed as required by law of all absentee ballots. Still others made no selection at all or their intent was unclear.

So, a brief analysis of Al Franken logic would lead one to believe that if you (a) voted for both candidates, (b) did not legitimize your ballot, or (c) voted for neither candidate, you still voted Democrat. Doesn’t this sound a lot like the other big “Al” who refused to concede an election, despite other monumental victories such as inventing the Internet and global warming?

Much scarier than that, Al Franken may turn to the Liberal-heavy Senate itself to decide his fate as a candidate:

The board’s decision drew a response from the Senate’s top Democrat, Majority Leader Harry Reid, who called it a “cause for great concern.”

“As the process moves forward, Minnesota authorities must ensure that no voter is disenfranchised,” Reid said in a statement. “A citizen’s right to have his or her vote counted is fundamental in our democracy.”

The Senate has in rare cases inserted itself into elections, including a 1996 Louisiana race and a 1974 New Hampshire contest. The body has the power to determine its members’ qualifications.

This effectively means that the Democrats have the ability to bypass the legitimate popular vote of Minnesota, placing Al Franken into the Senate regardless of the previous failed recount attempts. A decision such as this could put the Democrats ever closer to a “super majority,” enabling them to block GOP filibuster attempts. Rick Moran summarizes nicely:

I wouldn’t put it past Reid or any other Democrat to pull an undemocratic stunt like that.

Well, neither would we. Douchebags one and all…

Clean-Up On Aisle 2

 

The term “Black Friday” took on an entirely more sinister meaning to friends and relatives of Jdimytai Damour, a Wal-Mart employee who was trampled to death early Friday morning. 

 

As the 34-year-old unlocked the doors of the New York Wal-mart, signaling the opening of the store, a surge of impatient douchebag shoppers flooded the entrance, knocking Damour to the ground:

 

Police said about 2,000 people were gathered outside the Wal-Mart doors before its 5 a.m. opening at a mall about 20 miles east of Manhattan. The impatient crowd knocked the employee, identified by police as Jdimytai Damour, to the ground as he opened the doors, leaving a metal portion of the frame crumpled like an accordion.

“This crowd was out of control,” Fleming said. He described the scene as “utter chaos,” and said the store didn’t have enough security.

Dozens of store employees trying to fight their way out to help Damour were also getting trampled by the crowd, Fleming said. Shoppers stepped over the man on the ground and streamed into the store.

Damour, 34, of Queens, was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 6 a.m., police said. The exact cause of death has not been determined.

As if this weren’t enough, store officials were met with anger and resistance as they announced that the store would be closed resulting from the death:

 

Kimberly Cribbs, who witnessed the stampede, said shoppers were acting like “savages.”

“When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling ‘I’ve been on line since yesterday morning,’” she said. “They kept shopping.”

Authorities are now perusing security tapes in hopes of identifying those shoppers involved in the death. While the identification process may prove to be harder than anticipated, police believe that criminal charges may be filed. In this season of giving, lets hope that these ingrate douchebag shoppers are given the harsh sentences they deserve.
