And you thought Walmart was bad here.

This is why you do not shoplift in third world countries. They thought she took their supply of dried tiger wang from the pharmacy.

Woman beaten to death at China Wal-Mart: police (http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jUcqst3ZW9cVVaQV7XKG3y8SYSIg)

BEIJING — A woman in eastern China was allegedly beaten to death by five employees of a Wal-Mart store who accused her of shoplifting, a police report and state media said Tuesday.

Police have arrested two employees from the store in Jiangxi province, while three others are being investigated, Jingdezhen city police said in a report on their website.

According to the report, the woman was beaten outside her home near the Wal-Mart on August 30 and died in a city hospital on Wednesday last week from injuries suffered during the beating.

Police said the five Wal-Mart employees had stopped the woman in the street and demanded to see her receipt, but she refused because she could not verify their identities, it said.

Following an argument, the five Wal-Mart employees began beating her, it said.

The English-language China Daily on Tuesday identified the victim as Yu Xiaochun, 37.

"They started to hit her because she didn't do what they said," the paper quoted her husband Chen Baolin as saying.

"I got there and tried to stop them but they kept beating her."

It was not immediately known if the woman had shoplifted, the paper said.

The beating intensified as she tried to telephone for help using her mobile phone, it added.

In a statement, Wal-Mart said it was "fully cooperating with the relevant authorities and will release further details as it is appropriate".

"We extend our condolences to the family of the deceased.... The incident and cause of death is the subject of an investigation."

Wal*Mart + Communist China = epic Black Friday massacres.

[fujyoshi]

I'll never tawk crap about wal mart again o_o

[l0k1]

But on the plus side, she won't steal again.

[Mikosage]

Is anyone surprised here? This IS Walmart...and it IS in China...

[Trefellin]

They have Wal-Marts in China? Good God! How cheap must the merchandise be there? It's probably manufactured off-world, Chinese workers grumbling that Orks are taking their factory jobs.

[Leader Desslock]

^ sigged. :lol:

So... where do they find enough 450-lb Chinese people to ride around, blocking aisles in those electric cart thingies? It's not a Wal-Mart without that, no matter what they say.

[Ken-Ohki]

It's especially fun because Prokhor Zakharov is his offworld avatar.

[Justinian]

That was good Trefellin. Brownie points for you.

[Haro!]

And I though the fact that people in China napped on Ikea furniture was bad.

[goddessofanime]

I too feel the urge to beat people whenever I go to Walmart....

[Neko]

So... where do they find enough 450-lb Chinese people to ride around, blocking aisles in those electric cart thingies? It's not a Wal-Mart without that, no matter what they say.

Don't forget the normal weight people who walk around, blocking aisles with the normal carts. That makes me want to slap someone in the face just about every time I go into a Wal-Mart.

[Old Ape Face]

I simply don't go to Wal*Mart, I let you funny folk handle that cluster ****.

You know, they probably are less progressive and don't let their hambeast out of their pens to ride carts, purchase large quantities Twinkies, Ruffles, Jimmy Dean sausage, and Fanta, or test the breaking point of lycra like we do here.

I think Wal Mart is an upscale boutique in China.

[Lacan]

What could cause the workers to go violently insane there? Its it the air, lack of medication?

[Arnold]

What could cause the people to go violently insane there? Its it the air?

It's the low, low prices obviously.

[fujyoshi]

low wit the yellow smilely face that says chop your prices low :'D

[Trefellin]

It's the low, low prices obviously.

It's probably actually the lead and toxins in the merchandise.

[Arnold]

It's probably actually the lead and toxins in the merchandise.

Which of course also lead to the low low prices.

[Spadesy]

By question is, how does it even escalate to this? She was a middle aged lady, and the issue was about a possible shoplifting. I don't care if you are living in Riyadh, does that really warrant a death-beating?

[KatayokuのTenshi]

But on the plus side, she won't steal again.

Did she even shoplift this time?

You be ready to kill someone too if you worked at WalMart.

They look like something out of Manson at the one I shop at sometimes.


What? I get cheap things there.

[Old Ape Face]

this reminds me of Black Friday last year in New York, but that was Black Friday "In New York".


must be like Black Friday every damn day in China.

[Arnold]

Bah, I go to Costco if I want to get something cheap, anyway.

When I was in Nigeria if a theif was caught everyone in the neighborhood grabbed their broom stick and wailed on the guy. Once they had a thief who made the mistake of pulling a gun on and injuring someone. They stacked tires around him and burned him alive. The moral of the story is third worlders have a lot more to lose than us affluent bourgeois, as such they will exact 50 eyes and 500 teeth for every eye or tooth lost.

Oh yeah, no doubt these things happen in **** countries. Reminds me of when the Yazidis in northern Iraq stoned to death a teenage girl for being in a relationship with a Sunni Muslim boy. And ratted out by her own relatives no less.

Where in Eastern China did this incident happen though? If it was in Beijing, then this even going down the way it did would surprise me at least a little bit. I'd expect this kinda thing to happen in Northwestern China or some rural province.

[Haro!]

Let's make things clear, and specify that this was in (on?) Long Island. Not actual, real, New York.

Also worth mentioning. I've never been to a Wal-Mart in the US, but have been to one in Mexico, because I had to, and the people there were civilized.

[Spadesy]

I never had a problem with Wal-Mart either, except them selling pansy, family oriented music.

New York state, last I knew Long Island was still owned by New York as a part of the state.

[Solid_Snake]

LOL @ Wal Mart haters. Garanteed you all shop there. But hey, it's the cool thing to do.

That sucks. Just like the Black Friday death last year(Which was actually a worker.). This is another result of stupid people, doing stupid things. I won't blame Wal Mart for either.

[fujyoshi]

when they speak of long island they say "on" /heh or I say on but meh

[Old Ape Face]

LOL @ Wal Mart haters. Garanteed you all shop there. But hey, it's the cool thing to do.

Guaranteed I try to avoid it at all coasts actually, I have no need to shop at a place like Walmart, espesially when I'm more acustomed to various chain retail establishments.

Like Best Buy: for my electronic needs

New Bary Comics: for music especially (they have a lot of nerdy Star Wars and WoW figurines for sale there too, the Comic Book Junkies dream shop)

Hot Topic, and Pac Sun, or even Kohls: for cloths, (You wont find that awesome Star Wars band T-shirt at WalMart, I happened to stumble upon it at Kohls.)

Guitar Center: you can guess what I go there to buy.

the local Price Chopper/Big Y/Shaws that are spewed across the neighborhood like every 5 miles: a Man's got to eat something.

and of cource the small one stop shop convenience stores like Walgreens(of which I work for)

I have no need to shop in a cluster **** like Walmart, Kmart is the same deal.

Target has a better electronics department then any of the 3 and they're attached to a mall near me.

so I supose We don't all shop at this hellish place you call Walmart.

I get my daily exorcise walking through each store, and I make good money so gas isn't an issue.

[Mikosage]

and I make good money so gas isn't an issue.

Which is why you can afford to shop at retardedly overpriced places like Pac-Sun and Hot topic and Kohl's.

Excuse me, Mr. Gates, but some of us have to choose between wal-mart and the dollar store...and sometimes food and utilites.

[Neko]

LOL @ Wal Mart haters. Garanteed you all shop there. But hey, it's the cool thing to do.

You can't really hate Wal-Mart properly unless you actually go there.

Actually I have no problem with Wal-Mart itself, it's all the dumbass people that are always in there who make me hate going there. Every time I go in there I swear I'm gonna punch someone in the head.

I walked through a Walmart near me for no more than 10 minuets, I didn't even stop to look at anything and in the blur of the masses as I walked out of the store, I felt like I just walked though a ghetto neighborhood.

[Solid_Snake]

Wal Mart is stupid? That's why Wal Mart has more money than both Wal Greens and Target.

And you work at Wal Greens? Lol. You are not rich.

PS: Move out of your parents house and you will realize Wal Mart is a nice place to shop for the essentials.

[Old Ape Face]

Walgreens is a Pharmacy that is pure 100% American (with some stores in Porto-Rico), WalMart is a multipurpose conglomeration that is globally fed.

And not Rich? I possibly make more money than the people who work in retail at Walmart, and to the people who work Distribution about just as much if not a little less from just starting.

If you want to talk about being rich, you're going to have to speak with the heads of corporation, Walmart might make more globally but that doesn't mean they're employees make more or less than any other company.

I didn't say I was rich either :P but I see what you did there.

And as for my Parents house, I make enough to support myself, apartment is free with benefits, so why should I move?

I'll give it a couple years till I make a little more out of experience and work time. Why rush out into the big wide world?

Also Profit sharing with Walgreens isn't really that bad of a move, they don't offer 401k, but Profit sharing is just as good.

I can think of a few reasons...

[The Million Dollar Prons]

I hate Walmart because they sell some cool rock and roll t-shirts but they don't sell them with hangers and I'm like what the hell do they expect me to do buy hangers sepratley

[Old Ape Face]

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll185/Mikosage/nerd_doctor.jpg

I can think of a few reasons...

I spend more time actually working than using my PC for entertainment, that and my Guitar is a higher priority.

I am not fat, I might have glasses from sitting too close to the TV when I was younger, but rest assured I get more exorcise than you, possibly, as I work daily in a warehouse lifting heavy boxes and walking 4 miles a day inside the facility.

Oh I get it, Mikosage was the police officer who pulled me over for suspicion of possessing drugs. To his dismay and searching through my dirty old grama-wagon, he found no such thing and left me with a warning to fix my light.

You were pissed off too, becuase you had to call your squad to search me and you still walked away with nothing but a warning.

Later that evening I pull out a plastic baggy I stashed under the front hood of my car which only contains chalk dust, in which you had forgotten to check.

That was youuuu?!!! I'll get you next time, Spiderman! *shakes fist from evil lair*

Lol and you do get more exercise than I do...I've gotten fat the last few months because I've been too lazy to actually go out and do something...also I've been unemployed. ^^

[Old Ape Face]

watch it, I bite and I don't let go either.

[goddessofanime]

I don't really have a problem with Wal Mart either except for the employees and sometimes f**king people stand in the middle of the goddamn aisle and I can't move or breathe and get claustophobic.


Essentials are good. The one I go to actually has an interesting electronic area. And they get good movies in for cheap too. Even anime.

The only thing I hate for the most part is clothes. They suck.

Target though? They're the bomb when it comes to clothes.

[Neko]

...but rest assured I get more exorcise than you, possibly...

How many exorcisms have you performed? I didn't know we had someone like that at AN...

The more you know!

Ah well you see, when I go out for some exercise, (usually when I'm working) me and my buddies at work talk about horror movies and on a rare occasion the exorcist comes into the conversation, complete with a floating girl in a bedroom that pukes all over everyone.

[Trefellin]

Wrong thread but, you were to look at such a girl, what would you notice first? Face, breasts or crucifix stabbed crotch?

As for Wal-Mart, can't really complain about a place I rarely ever go to.

Hmmm.... this is one of the reasons that I do not shop at Walmart let alone one in China!
