OT--Interesting Sunday

Postby epresley » Tue Aug 12, 2008 6:04 am

My three daughters spend the end of last week at my parent's house. On Saturday, my wife and I went to get them, spent the night, and started home Sunday.

We stopped in Big Spring, a town of 25,000, at Wal-Mart to grab a couple of things and stretch our legs. My wife and the girls went one way, I went the other. I'm standing there looking at spray paint a couple minutes later and hear screaming and see EVERYONE running toward the front of the store. I asked one of the women running by what the hell was happening. She just said, "FIGHT"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I went up front just in time to see two shirtless gang bangers running out one front door and two more running out the other door. A bunch of managers were chasing after them and hollering for male stock boys to come help. One woman in the pharmacy was screaming for someone to stop them. Apparently, the gang bangers had a show down literally a couple of minutes after I had parted with Andrea and the girls, in the same place we were standing!!!!!!!!! I looked all over the store for them (found them, btw). Everyone was just standing frozen as no one knew if or when the gang bangers would come back in. About 10 minutes later, the police arrived. Everyone resumed checking out/shopping.

There had been three people killed there a few weeks ago in a drive-by by the Latin Kings. Now, y'all in L.A., Chicago, Houston, etc. may be used to such things, but out here in West Texas, it scared this country boy!!!!!!!

A similar thing happened when a gang of Journey forum members had it out with a crew from the Styx forum in the WalMart in Schaumburg, IL. Lots of sarcasm and biting comments. It got pretty ugly.

Scary shit, epresley!

My friend was at a local mall a couple of weeks ago searching for something special for her hubby for their 1st wedding anniversary. She had been in 1 jewlery store and headed to the opposite corner into another jewlery store, it was just her and the clerk in the store when gun fire began inside the mall hallway.

They both ducked behind the counter and could hear nothing but yelling, screams and gunfire. The young female clerk slowly made her way to the button which brought down the metal barrier between the mall and the store. They stayed there until finally the police arrived. Of course they were scared out of their wits.

To my knowledge no one has been charged with the shootings. That is one mall I'll never go into again.

Is this why Nig left the forum - because of a bad run-in with some Styx forum members in a WalMart? :lol:

Where you been Nig?

Happy Holidays bro!
