Walmart customer beaten in line

Walmart customer beaten in line

August 22, 2012 // Riot Fest

<overhead speaker announcement>: “Paging a doctor to Walmart checkout please. Woman beaten for having more than 10 items in cart. Thank you and remember to stop over in aisle 5 for our sale on pudding cups.”

Ok we’re busted, only one part of that announcement was true. A woman in Farmington, Maine was brutally attacked and beaten all while waiting in the Walmart checkout line. Sarah Hanson, the attacker, got into a fight with her husband in the parking lot. Instead of taking out her violence on her husband, or a nearby car, she proceeded to march back into Walmart and beat up an unsuspecting customer.

And about the pudding cups being on sale, well… hopefully that is also true. See you there!
